I bought this fridge August 2016 out of necessity. I'm recovering from an illness and to help me get back on my feet I'm currently living in transitional housing. I have a roommate and all areas except the bedrooms are shared or common space. I moved in and bought some groceries as I thought was proper as not to use the roommates food. I noticed the only food from the kitchen fridge that was being used was mine! And it was disappearing almost as fast as I brought it in. Thus the purchase of this little fridge. Delivery was right to my door. Packing was awesome. This little fridge just like anything you buy today is an energy saver so it doesn't work as well as the old skool appliances. First thing I notice is that it only has one leveling foot. Well in order to make the fridge level I needed to raise the front. Sort of difficult with only one leveling foot. So I now have a cardboard shim under the left front to keep everything stable. What could it possibly cost to put two leveling feet on this? so I plug it in and look at the temperature control knob to turn it to the coldest setting since energy savers don't get as cold as old skool stuff. Which way do I turn the knob for warmer/colder? I don't know because there is some sort of blue whatever 3/4 of the way around the knob and the instruction manual is no help. But anyway, clockwise twist on the knob is colder I finally figure out. The 0 at the top center actually means off. I guess I'm out of touch with the new hieroglyphics that are supposed to be universal and understandable by everyone. NOT ME!! The door has what appears to be built in bottle holders. Cool, or so I thought. Totally useless unless you want to take out the shelves. The bottles hit the shelves way before the door gets close to being closed. Properly arranged it holds a lot of stuff. The freezer? Don't expect to put much in there. while it is as wide and as deep as the fridge About four inches high is all you get. But over all I'm satisfied with this little fridge. it is very quiet and the magnet that holds the door closed is very strong. This door will not open accidentally. I believe it to be worth the price.

I like the glass shelves, not like some of the cheap plastic ones out there. It was affordable and large enough for my purposes. I am using it in a small home rec room, in the basement. I like the soda can storage. I took out the egg tray for more cans. It fits a lot and looks nice. I got the black finish which fits in very well.

Seems to have problems freezing ice cubes at the rear of the freezer compartment. Otherwise, seems to work well. Does the job it is suppose to do for the price.
