31 liters of vintage styling, or 23 liters and a lower price
Is a slightly larger, styled cabinet worth the extra cost over the smallest, cheapest option?
These are close siblings — same brand, same near-silent noise class, similar temperature range — with capacity, price and door-hinge flexibility as the real differences.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.
No amazon.com listing was found for this one. We hold references for other markets but none for the United States, so it may not be buyable here — which is the first thing to weigh against anything below.
Take the TOAD8 for more capacity and the vintage cream styling, if a fixed door side suits the installation space.

Take the MFX230 for the lowest price in this pairing and a reversible door that adapts to a tighter fit, at a smaller capacity.
At 24 dB against 23 dB, the gap is marginal and unlikely to be perceptible in normal use — both are among the quietest appliances confirmed across this entire site.
This reflects each model's design rather than a stated design philosophy from H.Koenig — the MFX230's reversible hinge is a specific, checkable feature on its listing that the TOAD8's listing doesn't share.
31 L · 6–15 °C (43 to 59 °F) · 24 dB · vintage design
A compact 31-liter mini-bar fridge in a vintage-styled cream cabinet, with an adjustable 6–15 °C (43 to 59 °F) range and a stated 24 dB noise level. Confirmed live with a real price on Amazon.fr; not confirmed with a live price on the DE listing checked.
Best for: A bedroom, office or small space where near-silent operation and vintage styling matter more than large capacity.
23 L · 5–15 °C (41 to 59 °F) · 23 dB · reversible door
The smallest and quietest beverage fridge confirmed in this comparison, at 23 liters with a stated 23 dB noise level and a reversible door for either-side installation. Confirmed live with a real price on Amazon.fr.
Best for: The tightest spaces — a desk, a small office, a guest room — where any beverage-fridge capacity is welcome and near-silent operation and door-side flexibility matter most.
