Yes. You can generate, edit, and use the full moving plan for free. The optional $19 one-time MovePlan Pro upgrade unlocks the printable PDF binder, weekly reminder emails, and a few power-user features.

Will I get sales calls from movers?

No. MovePlan does not sell your address or move date to third-party movers. The product is funded by the optional $19 upgrade, not lead-generation.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required. Your plan is saved automatically and accessible by URL. You can also add your email so reminder emails can be sent.

How long does it take to generate a plan?

About 60 seconds. You answer 5 short questions (move date, home size, origin, destination, what you need most help with) and MovePlan generates a personalized plan.

Yes. Every task, room, budget line, address, utility, and box label is editable. You can add custom tasks, mark items done, and rearrange the plan to fit how you actually want to move.

Can I lay a mini fridge on its side to transport it?

You can if space is tight, but stand it upright for several hours before plugging it in to let the compressor oil drain back down.

How long does a mini fridge need to sit before use?

A couple of hours upright is usually enough for a unit that stayed vertical, and longer if it was on its side.

Do I really need to defrost such a small freezer?

Yes. Even a small ice buildup will melt and leak during the move if you do not defrost and dry it first.

How to Move a Mini Fridge

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A mini fridge is light enough for one person, but it still has a compressor that follows the same rules as a full-size refrigerator. Defrost it, keep it upright, and give it a little time before you power it on.

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30 to 45 minutes, plus a few hours to defrost
Typical cost: Around $10 to $20 in supplies if anything at all
Supplies: Furniture blanket or moving pad, Painters tape, Small bucket and towels, Bungee cord

Pro tip: A mini fridge fits nicely in a car footwell or trunk, but keep it upright rather than laying it flat.

Watch out: Even a mini fridge should not be run immediately if it was tilted or laid down. Give it a few hours upright first.
