Microsoft has commissioned third-party manufacturers to create all kinds of Xbox-themed merchandise over the years, whether it's Xbox-branded clothing, controllers themed after movies, or special accessories. One of the more memorable pieces of Microsoft memorabilia is the Xbox Series X Replica 8 Can Mini Fridge, an accessory designed and themed in the likeness of Microsoft's Xbox Series X console.

This mini-fridge typically costs $69.99 at retail, but Walmart is currently hosting a special Anti-Prime Day 35% discount sale that has reduced the price tag to $45.92.

✅Perfect for: Xbox fans needing an Xbox-themed mini-fridge to keep their drinks cold during summer holidays or long hours of gaming in general.

When seeing this mini-fridge for the first time, it'd be easy to write it off as a comedic novelty item that quickly wears out its welcome. However, the Xbox Series X mini fridge created by third-party company Ukronic, is a genuinely well-crafted fridge that functions with the same level of high quality you'd expect from real mini-fridges while adding its own flair.

For starters, the design of the mini-fridge is a perfect replication of the Xbox Series X without any compromises to its primary components for the sake of maintaining its visual gimmick. It features a USB charging port so you can recharge the best Xbox controllers and other compatible devices with it. Plus, it can be powered by 240-volt mains outlet or a 12-volt DC adapter that's normally used on cars.

As for its storage capabilities, the Xbox Series X mini-fridge can hold up to eight small cans or snacks like chocolate bars and potato chip packets thanks to its compact size of 7.3 x 7.3 x 14.3 inches, and 4.5L volume. On top of that, this fridge has a built-in thermoelectric cooling fan so it doesn't require refrigerant chemicals to keep it clean like traditional refrigerators do.

That being said, this accessory isn't perfect. It has a very limited amount of storage space compared to larger fridges and consumes a large amount of power when turned on. The thermoelectric cooling fan also has a risk of burning out if you leave the fridge running for more than two days so it should be turned on sparingly.

Despite that though, the Xbox Series X Replica 8 Can Mini Fridge is a well-crafted Xbox accessory that I highly recommend to any Xbox fan looking for a fridge to keep their drinks cool when they need beverages while playing the best Xbox games, especially now it's $45.92 cheaper thanks to Walmart's 35% Anti-Prime Day discount. 

Why buy at Walmart?

Walmart is a commendable retailer that sells all kinds of food, electronics, movies, toys, and other products at generous prices while offering very helpful and friendly customer service. You can even get free grocery deliveries, a subscription to the Paramount+ streaming service, and other useful perks when signing up for Walmart Plus Membership.

Who is this product for?

The Xbox Series X Replica 8 Can Mini Fridge is an in-joke accessory aimed at Xbox fans who would like an Xbox-themed mini fridge to keep their drinks chilled while playing the Xbox Series X.

What are this mini-fridge's standout features?

The Xbox Series X Replica 8 Can Mini Fridge has enough storage space for eight canned drinks or snacks, it has a thermoelectric cooling fan and a USB charging port for Xbox controllers to recharge with.
