Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

    Great bang for the buck

    This fridge is for our home theater room. I looked at a lot of under the counter mini fridges in stainless steel. This one is very reasonably priced. It's a mini side-by-side; the freezer is on the left. There's plenty of room for beverages, snacks, ice-cream & other goodies. All you need are mini ice trays to have ice. It was packed well for shipping. The delivery company were also very kind & brought it upstairs for us.

    Great compact fridge

    Finally received the fridge. So far it is great. Coldest setting will freeze both the freezer and fridge sections. A setting of 4 out of 7 so far keeps the fridge around 36 and the freezer around -10 deg F. Plenty of room. I like that each shelf in the freezer section has cooling coils. Only negative would be in the delivery time. As ship to home was the only option I had to go with it. Original delivery estimate was 2 weeks. To my pleasure I received an email 2 days after purchase saying my order shipped. Upon more detailed review essentially my shipping label had been printed but not picked up by UPS. 2.5 weeks later I receive a call from a 3rd party freight line to schedule my delivery and they only deliver during week days and during business hours. Not real pleased with having to take a half day off of work to wait for a delivery to arrive 1 week after the estimated delivery date. Order status still states it is waiting for UPS to pick up my package. In summary GREAT product, TERRIBLE delivery.

    nice little fridge for the bar

    Purchased for my bar to replace a custom sub zero that finally gave out. Much less expensive, and works just as well. This is not a specialized wine cooler - it holds everything in the refrigerator, and has a nice and useful freezer section. Well worth the money. One thing to note is that the doors swing wide, so this refrigerator will not fit into a recessed space.
