Title: A good buy, but know what you are getting before you order
Review: It's a fridge with a separate freezer compartment, and it does what is is supposed to do--keep things cold! It's a beautiful appliance that runs well and has excellent ratings, so I am happy with this purchase. But now for the complaints, such as they are. I didn't realize it is made to let condensation run down the inside back of the fridge into a drain. English major! I don't understand the mechanics of it or what happens to that water once it goes down the drain. You can't push things on the shelves all the way to the back wall, or it will block this water flow and it may freeze on whatever is in the way. That is a little annoying, but as long as you pay attention, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't usually drink from aluminum cans or 2L bottles, so I have cheese and produce in the door racks. The door shelf in the freezer is tiny--don't expect to put anything thicker than a frozen individual entree in it, or maybe a stick of butter. Warning labels on the appliance caution against poking the device with anything sharp or trying to service it yourself, stating that it uses an explosive chemical. I assume that is the new norm since Freon has been outlawed--because explosive refrigerators are better than... whatever. Since I don't plan on tinkering with it or poking it with an ice pick, I think I'll be okay.Otherwise, for a compact fridge, the freezer is a really good size--almost 1 cubic foot. The freezer will have to be defrosted eventually, but since it is separate from the fridge, that shouldn't be nearly as often as other compact refrigerators. It comes with a dinky ice tray which is good for testing the temperature in the freezer and not much else, plus a small plastic ice scraper. The temperature control is just one dial for both the fridge and the freezer compartments, so you have to turn off the whole appliance to defrost the freezer. I haven't owned it long enough to defrost it yet.The capacity is pretty good. In addition to the door items, I currently have about 5 lbs of apples in the produce drawer, 5 lbs of potatoes on the shelf above that, and various smaller items on top (including an ice-encrusted orange that rolled back into the freezing wall fountain). This would be good for use in a dorm, office, or tiny home, or for use by a single person who doesn't cook much.So, those are the pros and cons. Overall, I think the positives outweigh the negatives, and I think I'll continue to be happy with this as time goes by. Watch the price, which can fluctuate within just a few hours.

Title: Excellent dorm minifridge
Review: This is a good dorm minifridge. The freezer keeps things frozen, the fridge keeps things cold, and I don't have to use the overstuffed communal fridges in the kitchen. It's big enough to hold quite a bit of food, yet small enough to fit well in my ~200 sq ft dorm room. Highly recommended for any college student who wants/needs to cook for themself.Noise level: Quieter than I was expecting, makes a little humming noise. I have auditory processing disorder, so repetitive/constant noises drive me up the wall, but I'm really happy with this fridge. If the noise does bother you, it's definitely quiet enough to cover up with a fan or soft background music.The shelves and drawer in the fridge are good sizes/spaced well for me, but if you don't like the shelf you can take it out. The sizes of the door compartments are kind of weird, especially since I don't drink soda so don't use the soda can rack. If you're willing to apply a little duct tape, though, you can do a lot with it. I kind of wish the freezer had a shelf so I could make ice more conveniently, but turning a mesh 8.5x11 paper tray upside down would solve that problem.The ice cube tray that comes with the fridge is really tiny, which I also like, since the ice cubes fit in my water bottles this way. The fridge also comes with an ice scraper, which I haven't used on the fridge, but have used on my window when it iced up earlier this winter.I've only had one actual issue with this fridge so far: when it got to me, one of the leveling feet had cracked during shipping, so it didn't sit level. A little duct tape fixed that right up and now I have no problem. It's a really minor issue but I wanted this to be a comprehensive review.Overall, this was the perfect fridge for me. If you're looking for a dorm minifridge I'd recommend getting this one since it has a good-sized freezer with a separate door, but if you don't really need a freezer and just want people to stop taking stuff you put in the fridge, consider getting a different minifridge without a freezer. It cost around $150 when I bought it, so if the price is significantly higher when you read this, I'd recommend waiting for it to go down.

Title: Works well, not very loud.
Review: The refrigerator itself isn't very loud. The humming is noticeable when the compressor is running but it's a very unoffensive sound. The compressor also only runs periodically.

Title: Nice little fridge
Review: Fridge arrived slightly damaged in one corner, but doesn't seem to affect anything. Set it to Medium and it hit 40F in a couple of hours. Loaded it with food and it was back down to 40F the next morning.Freezer: Has ample room for a unit this size.Refer: The storage in the door is a joke. It was so bad it made me laugh. The rack that I assume is to hold soda cans is almost non-functional. No thought whatsoever was given to it's design. You can get the cans in there, but you will probably give up before it's filled. And that's after you've taken the time to form a battle plan. However, getting the cans out is pretty easy to do. So, half the door storage space is pretty much gone.The back of the refer interior is where it gets it's cold from. Anything making contact with it will freeze. They conveniently included an ice scraper for scraping both the freezer and fridge.Oddly, the top, bottom and sides of it are covered with clear plastic like you find stuck to the screen of a brand new smartphone. Presumably to protect the finish, but I've never seen that on a fridge before. It's a real pleasure to peel off, if you're into that sort of thing.Overall, I don't feel it was wasted money. It's quiet and pleasing to the eye. And most importantly, it keeps things nice and cold/frozen.I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because of the refer door fiasco and the freezing in the back of the fridge.

Title:
Review: I've had this fridge for many months now and it's still working perfectly. I have a smaller solar power system and a 2000 watt inverter and it has no problem powering the fridge. When the fridge compressor first comes on there's a surge of energy required but then within about 2 seconds it drops down much lower. Before I bought this I wasn't sure how well it would work with an inverter but it's been completely fine.Downside to the fridge is the layout of the door is just plain stupid. It has a can rack that doesn't fit a can easily; they are hard to get out and the space would be much better devoted to allowing for storing as many different items as possible. If I could pull out the can rack and / or adjust it to be a set of small shelves with "railings" on each one to stop stuff falling out it would be much better. On the otehr side of the door is a area I think meant to hold taller bottles with a swing out "railing" to hold them in. Problem is that if you have shorter items they continually fall out of the door due to the swing out nature of the "railing" meant to hold stuff in. The door is not well thought out at all, just plain stupid design obviously never used by any of the designers for any length of time or they would have spotted these issues immediately. It's disappointing when otherwise it's a great fridge, nice and quiet, energy efficient etc. In the perfect world they'd offer different door configurations for people who want to store actual food not a pile of cans and they'd also test them out themselves by using them in the real world so that they could immediately spot the problems with the can rack etc.
