Our take on the Avanti 3.1 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator RA31B3S

The Avanti RA31B3S is a 3.1 cu ft two-door compact refrigerator with a separate top freezer, aimed at dorms, offices, garages and small apartments. It stands about 33.5 inches tall and 18.5 inches wide, so it fits under many counters and into tight corners. It is Energy Star rated, has automatic defrost and reversible doors, and stores 2-liter bottles in the door. Against rivals like the Midea WHS-87 or Danby DCR031 it offers a real freezer compartment and a crisper, but it lacks an ice maker and a door alarm. Owners rate it around 4.2 out of 5, praising the space and looks while noting noise and occasional cooling complaints.

Questions and answers

Does the freezer have its own door?
Yes. It is a two-door top-mount unit, so the freezer compartment opens separately from the refrigerator.
Do I need to defrost it by hand?
No. It uses automatic defrost, so frost buildup is handled without manual scraping.
Can the doors open either way?
Yes. The doors are reversible, so you can set the swing to suit your space.
Will it fit under a standard counter?
At about 33.5 inches tall it fits under many counters, but measure your opening first since clearance and hinges vary.
Does it come with an ice maker?
No. There is no ice maker or water dispenser, so you would add ice trays yourself.
Is it good for a garage?
It works in a garage or basement if temperatures stay within the range in the manual; extreme cold or heat can affect cooling.
