In detail: Cecotec Mini Fridge Bolero CoolMarket TT Origin 45
The Cecotec Bolero CoolMarket TT Origin 45 makes a genuine style statement: a rounded body, pastel tones and a chrome handle echo the look of 1950s retro fridges, a choice that stands out from the more neutral, purely functional mini fridges usually on offer. Its 45-litre capacity is enough to store everyday drinks, snacks and small food items.
Running on a compressor rather than thermoelectric cooling, it chills more effectively than a compressor-free model, and comes with a removable ice tray built in, a genuine plus for making ice cubes without relying on the household's main fridge. Operation is rated at 39 dB, a reasonable level for use in a bedroom or office.
Its energy class E, common for this compact format, remains an accepted trade-off against the space saved and the styling on offer. The Cecotec sits happily on a worktop, a shelf or the floor thanks to its self-contained footprint (44.7 x 47 x 55 cm).
This Cecotec mini fridge appeals in particular to buyers after a fully committed retro look rather than a purely utilitarian appliance, without giving up the essential features of a quality mini fridge.

Comparison
In the retro mini fridge segment around £115 to £215, the Cecotec Bolero regularly comes up against the TZS First Austria 40L, the other well-known name in the genre. Here's how the two compare, based on both manufacturers' published specifications.
| Criterion | Cecotec Bolero 45L | TZS First Austria 40L |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Compressor | Thermoelectric |
| Volume | 45 litres | 40 litres |
| Noise level | 39 dB | 22 dB |
| Ice tray | Yes, removable | No |
| Street price | ≈£115 to £130 | ≈£210 |
In short, the Cecotec relies on genuine compressor cooling power and a built-in ice tray, at a more accessible budget, while the TZS favours near-total silence through its thermoelectric technology, at the cost of a more limited temperature gap. The choice mainly comes down to priority: cooling performance or absolute quiet.
