I've seen the same video, as long as it has a heat pump then its basically as efficient as we can get it. It's those small drink coolers and portable freezers that can be run of the cigarette lighter in your car that uses the inefficient Peltier module

I just wanted to add, that the heat pump effectiveness is true but a big part of the loss on tiny fridges is the insulation. Many manufacturers cheap out on that front for mini-fridges. You run at a greater energy consumption to compensate for the lack of proper insulation.

Get a good, well insulated mini-frige (using a proper compressor/heat pump) and you're all set. Buy once, cry once, and do your homework folks!
