Customers regard the Retro 1.6 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge favorably for its size, cooling capacity, and stylish retro look, with many appreciating its attractive color options and convenient bottle opener. However, some customers express concerns about the plastic handle's durability and the fridge's noise level. The small freezer compartment also receives mixed reviews, with some finding it insufficient for their needs. Overall, the aesthetic appeal and functionality are frequently praised, though certain aspects require improvement.
Our little mini-fridge we keep in the bathroom for cold water conked out after 12 years (as it turns out a $6 starter relay fixed that one) so we replaced it with a new, and went with this RED Frigidaire. I did online order and curbside pickup which went flawlessly, the box was strapped and undamaged so I didn't bother inspecting the contents. Everything was new and undamaged when opened at home. Plugged it it, slid it into place, and never looked back. Well, had to turn it down as it was freezing my water haha! Good job! The silver handle on front is plastic, clips into place, but I never use that as it sits on the floor, so I just grab the pull slots on the top of the door. The handle doesn't feel like it would last years of life if used regularly. The bottle opener that goes on the side is metal, but I didn't use it as my fridge sides into a slot under-cabinet and it wouldn't fit. Off to the garage it goes with the repaired previous mini-fridge! It's a typical mini cube fridge. Shelf inside slides out for tall things, which is all I keep in it... door pocket has room for a tall item and a few shorter ones, as well as a little shelf in top corner. Freezer box is top right. COLD! Once it got up to temp, I actually had to turn it back a notch as my water bottle froze! Humming along nicely now. As for how loud it is... I don't hear it when I'm in the bathroom, much less in the adjacent bedroom. It's as quiet as our previous mini-fridge. No complaints of issues with sound of it. Being a Frigidaire, I expect to get years of good service from it, as did the last one. Recommended!

Overall I love it. I hate that it had to be shipped, it came with a small ding in the door. Otherwise it’s the perfect size for my cubicle.

Cute design! Arrived with multiple scratches. Would love to use ice tray, but freezer compartment doesn't freeze and leaves small ice droplets. Be sure to put clear plastic tray underneath to gather water. Have had it a year and notice it gets very hot.
