Choosing between compact home appliances comes down to where you want the appliance to work and what you want it to handle. One option is built around plug-in use at home or in a car, while the other is a USB-powered cooler/warmer designed for a single beverage can near a computer.
Quick verdict
Pick the Frigidaire Mini Personal Fridge Cooler when a portable tabletop format with home and car chargers suits your routine. Its under-15-inch height and under-20-inch width point to a compact personal-scale appliance that can move between two locations without installation.
Choose the Mini USB Fridge Cooler Beverage Drink Cans Cooler/Warmer Refrigerator when your intended use is one can at a computer-side workspace and the ability to warm as well as cool is the deciding feature. It is more specialized, with USB power, a stated 24-cubic-inch capacity, and no adjustable temperature control.

Where each mini appliance fits best
Frigidaire Mini Personal Fridge Cooler: home-to-car portability
The Frigidaire is the stronger match for a shopper who wants the same compact appliance to work in a room and in a vehicle. Home and car chargers are part of its title, while the installation description specifically calls for plugging it into a house or car with no installation needed. The portable tabletop format also makes its purpose easy to understand: it is for personal-scale cooling in a small footprint.
Mini USB Cooler/Warmer: a focused computer-side can setup
The USB cooler/warmer is geared toward a more narrowly defined desk use. Its description places it beside a laptop or PC, identifies USB plug-and-play power, and says it can cool or warm a single can. That dual-function setup is the meaningful reason to choose it over the Frigidaire when one beverage at a workstation is the goal. The stated magnetic door catch and door lock add to its compact enclosed format.
Product notes
Frigidaire Mini Personal Fridge Cooler
The Frigidaire option makes the clearest case for someone who wants a personal cooler to transition between a home setting and a vehicle. Its home and car chargers are named directly, and the plug-in setup avoids any installation step. Model EFMIS229 is described as a portable tabletop mini fridge, with a height below 15 inches and width below 20 inches, giving it a deliberately compact profile. Choose it when location flexibility matters more than USB computer-side operation or warming capability. The limitation is that its compact tabletop form is aimed at personal use; shoppers seeking a larger refrigerator-style setup should look for a format beyond these stated dimensions.
Mini USB Fridge Cooler Beverage Drink Cans Cooler/Warmer Refrigerator
The Mini USB Cooler/Warmer is the more purpose-built choice for keeping one beverage can at a computer-side workspace, with USB power and both cooling and heating functions named in its description. Its 24-cubic-inch capacity and single-can design make the intended use especially focused, while the magnetic door catch supports the small enclosed format. Choose it when warming a drink is as useful as cooling one and a laptop or PC is central to the setup. Its key limitation is the lack of adjustable temperature control. The single-can capacity also makes it a targeted personal beverage appliance rather than a broader storage solution.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Frigidaire Mini Personal Fridge Cooler for compact home-and-car use, especially if its portable tabletop build and no-installation plug-in arrangement match your routine. Choose the Mini USB Fridge Cooler Beverage Drink Cans Cooler/Warmer Refrigerator for a single can beside a computer when USB power and warming capability matter. If adjustable temperature control is essential, the USB model is not the fit because that control is explicitly listed as unavailable.
