I recently borrowed my son's roomate's mini-mini dorm sized fridge for
use in a hotel room for a week. Compressor style. It froze a bottle of
water (in the freezer section) overnight.

More years ago than I care to admit, I can recall the "mini-cool" truck parked
in front of the dorm complex doing a land office business renting 1cf dorm
fridges off the tailgate for something like $25/semester. That was when they
sold for over $200 new. Nowdays I've seen them for $50 new in the August sales.

At that rate it would take them at least 4 years to recoup their $200,
excluding summers. More if you include maintenance, swaps for broken
unit, salary for the owner/employee, storage, gas, etc.

Doesn't sound like a very good business plan to me.
