Title: It works great for me
Review: UPDATE: 4 months in and it's still working great and I'm still very happy with it.I bought this because my 10 year old Igloo died suddenly (not TOO suddenly, I had already talked about buying a new one in the next month or so) and I needed something ASAP. It's not exactly what I would have liked (I'm not a fan of the can holder thing. I'd rather have shelves. Also, the freezer is generally a waste of space but try to find one without on short notice) but it's basically what I had before so I can work with it.It arrived today. I pulled it out of the box and like most large appliances, it sits on a base and the box slides over top then they wrap it in heavy plastic straps to hold it together. I immediately noticed that it had been dented on the top corner however, there was no damage to the box in that area. None. Not a wrinkle. It feels like it was damaged BEFORE being boxed and maybe that's why so many arrive damaged - because it's happening before it's even shipped and Amazon can't see it because it's in a nice new box. You'll notice if you look at the picture there's a bit of rust on it. That didn't happen between Thursday and Saturday.Sure, I could return it for a new one but that means dragging it through the house again, figuring out how to get it back in the box and then, figuring out how to get the box to stay together since I don't have the ability to create new heavy duty plastic straps and tape is NOT going to cut it. I was not happy.I contacted Amazon and told them what had happened and they graciously offered me a choice between keeping it and being given a partial refund or returning it for a new one. Given my previous paragraph, you can guess what I chose.So now that I'd gotten that out of the way it was time to set it up and then plug it in. First then, because of the placement, I need it to open from the other side. While I was able to do it, they didn't make it easy. The plastic part that covers where the door connects on the top was a giant PITA to remove. I basically had to pry at it with a flat head screw driver and slightly damage the plastic in doing so. They are not alone in this though. Every refrigerator I've had or seen pretty much has the same problem. I had hoped that since they specifically pointed out that it had a reversible door, maybe they had done something to make it easier. Nope. Then while trying to screw in the bottom bracket for the door, I found that the hole had been sealed by insulating foam. I just hit it a few times with a small screwdriver until it popped through. Once I got past that, the rest was pretty straightforward and the door now swings open from the other side.Now that I was ready to go, I moved it into place and leveled it off and then plugged it in. Nice and quiet. Very quiet. SO quiet I'm concerned it's not working... but it seems to be doing alright. I opened the door and was surprised to see a light! I thought I must have missed that in the description when I bought it but going back I can't find it anywhere. So, BONUS! Having the light is really nice and I'm glad it has it. Next, I pulled out the manual and drip tray then started to arrange the shelves . That's when I noticed something odd. The drip tray didn't slide in under the freezer like it should. It was too small. Turns out, that's a feature not a bug. Apparently you're just supposed to either set the tray on the top shelf permanently or take it out and only put it in when you need it. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Nothing in the description prepared me for it and it's certainly not like that in the images. But that's how it is now. You can see that mine doesn't resemble the images shown. I really don't mind the idea of the drip tray being separate, I just wish they had a place to PUT it. That would make sense, right? One nice thing about having the drip tray with a mini-fridge like this is that often times things on the top shelf will freeze slightly. I used the drip tray in my other fridge to hold a piece of styrofoam that partially insulated what was underneath and it helped quite a bit.The temperature dial on mine is way off. It goes from 0-6 but mine goes well past 6, to what might be 11. Does that mean that mine is colder than everyone else's? Is it some kind of psychological thing to make me *feel* like it's colder? Is it just broken? Is it just missing the numbers? I'll probably never know. What I do know is that it's plenty cold and it stays that way, all while making (what feels like) almost no noise.This feels like a solid purchase. I hope it stays that way!

Title: No brainer
Review: I purchased this fridge last August (2015) while I was working on my rental house in Southern California. I had tenants bail on me after doing much damage that I had to tend to from 500 miles away. I had initially started my trips in May and I brought a large ice chest with me. I was making trips every two weeks...two weeks home and then two weeks at the rental. When I was at the rental I had to buy ice every other day to keep the ice chest cool. It was really, really hot and the ice melted quickly. I literally drained water out of lunch meat packages and had to blot my cheese just to make sandwiches. I was walking through Home Depot with my handyman one day to get supplies for repairs and there was a mini-fridge on display. It looked nice but was almost two hundred bucks. Later I went on Amazon and found this fridge. I only wish I had looked sooner! By the time I bought this fridge in August, I had literally paid more for ice since May than what this fridge cost me. I did read the reviews first and was concerned that most purchasers had received damaged items and stated the packaging was very poor. I held my breath, crossed my fingers, and placed my order. It arrived promptly...really quick! I have to say that yes, the packaging is really bad. Really bad. The box covering the unit seems original with the item nicely photographed and your standard descriptions of the unit. However, there is literally no bottom to the box!! There are shipping straps affixed that wrap the unit to hold it into the 3/4 of the box. Styrofoam "planks" are under the unit so that most of it won't touch the ground. I snipped off the straps, pulled the box up and inspected my fridge. Thankfully, I had no major dents on the exterior of the unit as some customers reported, but one if the leveling legs was broken. Remember, there is literally no bottom to this shipping box! NO BOTT0M! Okay, so...I placed this unit in the garage and followed the included instructions as far as plugging it in, setting the temperature dial and waiting for the unit to be ready to place items into it. The instructions said to plug it in and wait three (3) hours before placing items into the fridge. It arrived at about 11:30 am. I had it in place in the garage and plugged-in at about 12:00pm. The compressor fired right up and I was putting my stuff inside by 3:30 that afternoon! No more soggy sandwiches! Also, the freezer did freeze! I went to the store a couple of days later and bought some small frozen dinners. Mind you, I was sleeping on an air mattress in a totally vacant house. Spending tons of money on repairs so going out to eat was not an option! Being able to put a couple of frozen entrees into the freezer was epic! The exterior of this unit is just frankly gorgeous. I got the stainless steel version. I has a black glossy top and sides. It looks like a million bucks! It's sturdy but not unmanageable. I carried it myself from the garage into the house while the garage floor was coated, albeit slowly and carefully. I carried it back into the garage when I left. My new tenants are aware that it is to remain in place for my personal use. If you follow the included directions you cannot go wrong with this unit. I am super thrilled with mine!! I give the actual unit 5 stars. The packaging however, rates only one star. I have no idea how these get packaged the way they do but it is a concern. I would advise to make this purchase. Even if the exterior has damage, for the price you simply can't do better. Oh, and you can configure the interior as you wish. Real shelves! More room than you might think at first glance.

Title: Arrived with a couple of dents
Review: Itâs a good size fridge for my dorm. There is barely any noise so they did good on that. The freezer is smaller than I wouldâve of liked it to be but I havenât used it to freeze anything yet. It seems to keep my stuff cold. Only disappointing thing right now are the multiple dents it came with.

Title: Check the product upon delivery
Review: First order I received, it was dented in 2 spots and the door, once opened, did not shut, probably due to it being knocked and having a dent. I called and did a replacement and received my new one about a week later. The 2nd order was perfect, works great, quiet sound. I had heard comments about it being noisy, but I barely hear a low hum if I really listen. I would buy this product again.

Review: This fridge is cold and quiet. Has room for about 5 2-litres if you remove the shelf. Good purchase if you want a good bar fridge etc...Ships via Canada Post and I needed a friend to help me carry it home. Works like it should.

Review: I've had this fridge for around 9-10 months and its served me very well and kept everything I needed at the temperature needed.The 2 issues I would have is that;1. The temperature control is confusing to use and I didnt wanna risk losing products so I kept it pretty high2. The "freezer" compartment isn't great and worst of all, the moisture keeps sticking to the metal tray, freezing and creating a huge block of ice over time, blocking the plastic "door" from moving, making it near unusable. So you have to let it thaw once every few months.For the price I paid and the convenience I dont think its bad at all though.

Customers say
Customers like the refrigerator's room size, quality, and value for money. They mention it's very roomy, can fit all sorts of soft drinks, and even a few ridiculously tall water bottles. However, some customers have reported that the fridge was dented in two spots and had minor dings and scratches on the outside. Opinions are mixed on whether it works well, keeps things cold, and the noise level.
