While this statement is true for devices are configured to request 9v, 12v, 20v over the USB. The soda cooling product is just a fan. There isn't refrigerator unit or heat exchanger, nor insulation to hold in cooling once extracted. There are a lot of that on TEMU like the ultrasonic cleaner for $4 which takes a single AAA battery and is just a rumble motor under the plastic bed. Real cleaners should be metal beds, have big power supplies, and normally start around $30 for the most barebone tiny capacity models.

Likely the "mini-fridge" uses a peltier plate to attempt to cool - I have a larger version - a "solid state" fridge which sorta does work, but they're really not reliable. (I don't recall seeing any peltier plates running at 5V tho - all the ones I've played with were 12V, but I could be mistaken) - still kind of a waste if it only holds a single beverage....

An update regarding amps on the mini fridge would be nice. If you had a low amp output adapter or cable, and it needed a high amp one like the 3 amp chargers, then that might be the problem. It probably won't make a difference, but it's plausible. If it came with that cable or adapter, then even if it did work with another, then that's basically false advertising.

I'm slightly surprised the mini fridge did nothing as I have seen reviews for similar mini fridges for years with people saying they work pretty well even if not exactly like a regular refrigerator. Of course such things get made by different companies and are made cheaper and cheaper as time goes on. Another use for the bottle caps would be using the different colors to mark your bottle from someone else's in a situation where you might sit it down near another.

@@f.i.b3027 I stand by what I wrote. No heatsinks for the fan to blow over = little to no cooling (or heat leaching/sinking), and whatever there might be would be highly inefficient. Thus, crap. $1 worth of aluminum + pennies worth of insulation and sealing would turn that into something half-decent. You also have to understand that 1 of the ways these cheapos get away with it is they make a percentage with proper materials and parts, then they skimp out at the end as they run out the rest of the primary look-alikes. Most of the bads will never get returned. That's 1 of the reasons why you end up with 1 person with a great experience and another with total crap. They also do this with contract manufacturing. Build out the contract amount, then run the rest of the parts, even if they don't have all of them. And that's legal in some places.

While the results of your "fizz tests" seemed to validate the caps, be aware that the different profiles of the glasses has a profound effect on the fizz from a pour. Your open bottle glass (your left, our right) affected the results. That open curved shape tends to preserve the fizz. I found this out in Dublin, Ireland where I saw that Guinness has a VERY specific glass shape that must be used (as well as a very specific two-part pour) to get the correct "head" on the drink. (Side note: I also found out why the Guinness we get here in the States sucks compared to the real deal in Ireland and the UK. )

It had a warm and cool function. It could only fit in a regular 330ml drinks can. The result was that the bottom of the can got a little cold and the top not so much. I was very disappointed because something like this can be useful. I have mine laying around somewhere and bought a larger portable fridge for my room and that mains powered device works much better.

I think the bottle caps can be usable. I don't see them used so much as covering any fizzy drink bottles. The best use might be to cover beer and soda bottles when drinking outside summertime to prevent critters getting into the bottle. Also there are some condiment and spice bottles that the caps could cover if the original cap is lost.

James, it might be a good idea to check the temp of your (real) fridge. In my experience a soda should get a lot colder than 55 degrees in 15 hours. Fridges should be between about 35 and 38 degrees for safety!

I highly doubt this thing is a "fridge". (It doesn't have the cooling system a fridge has.) It's likely just a fan blowing upwards.

@@Zark-Muckerberghe’s talking about the control can. For the mini fridge, a peltier cooler should be inside with the fan blowing against it but didn’t work

it'd be interesting for you to take the mini fridge apart and see if there's anything in there. My bet is there is just a usb fan and a led light

Yep that's all the cheaper ones are, and they are not even insulated to hold in cold air. To be fair there are some more expensive ones out there that are insulated, run on a higher amp USB wall wart, and have a fan/cold plate, but at that point you might as well just use a normal fridge, or if you're in a cube farm for work, then just use an insulated mug, or small cooler with an ice pak, as they are cheaper, and work just as well.
