How they differ in real use
These are the top two picks for a dorm because they solve the problem most compact fridges do not: both put the freezer behind its own insulated door, so ice cream and frozen meals stay frozen instead of thawing every time the fridge is opened. That shared strength is why the decision between them is close and comes down to efficiency, capacity, and brand track record rather than a gap in usefulness. The Midea WHD-113FSS1 is the more polished, efficient choice. It is ENERGY STAR certified, which matters for a fridge that runs every hour of the school year — it draws less power and adds less heat to a small room — and owner feedback describes it as quiet, a real consideration in a shared space. Its trade-offs are that it ships running warm and needs the thermostat turned up after setup, per Reviewed.com, and at 52 pounds it is the heaviest unit to carry up on move-in day. The EUHOMY answers with value and space. It costs less up front and gives you the largest dedicated freezer here at 0.96 cu ft plus 2.24 cu ft of fridge room, an LED interior, and a slim 18-inch width for tight corners. What it gives up is efficiency — it is not ENERGY STAR certified and carries the highest annual energy rating in this group, so it costs more to run over a couple of years — and it comes from a newer brand with a shorter track record than Midea. Both use a reversible door and manual-defrost freezer, and both clear typical dorm size limits. In practice the Midea is the buy-it-once, run-it-cheap choice; the EUHOMY is the most freezer and fridge space you can get for the lowest price.

Which should you buy?
Buy the Midea WHD-113FSS1 if you want the most efficient, quietest, most established option and do not mind paying a bit more or adjusting the thermostat once — its ENERGY STAR certification pays back over a full year of running, and it is the safer long-term pick. Buy the EUHOMY if price and freezer space are your priorities: it gives you the biggest separate freezer here for less money, which is the better value if you will not keep it long enough for the energy difference to matter, or you simply want the most storage per dollar. Choose the Midea for efficiency and peace of mind; choose the EUHOMY for maximum capacity on a budget.

Common questions
Do both the Midea and EUHOMY have a real freezer?
Yes, and that is why these two rank at the top. Both have a freezer sealed behind its own insulated door — 0.92 cu ft on the Midea and 0.96 cu ft on the EUHOMY — so each can keep ice cream and frozen meals genuinely frozen, unlike single-door fridges whose small internal chiller box only keeps items very cold. The EUHOMY's freezer is marginally larger; the Midea's is slightly more efficient to run.
Is the Midea worth the higher price over the EUHOMY?
It depends on how long you will keep it and whether you pay for electricity. The Midea is ENERGY STAR certified and the EUHOMY is not, so over two or three years of continuous running the Midea's lower power draw offsets part of its higher sticker price while adding less heat to your room. If you want the fridge for a single year or want the most space for the least money, the EUHOMY is the better value; if you want the efficient, quieter, longer-term pick, the Midea earns its premium.
Which one is easier to fit and move into a dorm?
The EUHOMY is slightly easier to place and carry — it is about half an inch narrower at 18.1 inches wide and lighter at 45 pounds, versus the Midea's 52 pounds. Both are roughly 33 inches tall, so neither will slide under a lofted bed; for that you need a compact model like the BLACK+DECKER. Both have reversible doors, so either can open toward the wall or the room depending on your layout.
