Hmm I looked at random mini fridge and regular fridge on the home Depot app. The mini was $35 to operate and the regular was $85. This isn’t scientific or anything but I would expect most mini fridges to be cheaper to operate than the full size.
Not saying they aren’t but usually not to the point that you would think. For a few reasons, mini fridges are usually lower quality. So less insulation and lower quality parts. Also due to the cube square law they have more surface area relative to volume. So they lose more heat.
It’s got one of the worst energy star ratings. It’s costing you energy!
