We love this frig! Purchased it for use in our renovated vintage camper. We were worried it might be noisy in such a small space, but just makes a soft hum when it kicks on. Have had many complements on its color. We are very happy with it.

Great little fridge for an upstairs master suite that goes with my big screen TV and lazyboy. The reto style looks perfect.

When you purchase a 2.5 ft mini-fridge you don’t expect a lot of room. But even with that in mind I feel there are better options available and I don’t recommend. If you are going to use to store a little food, a few frozen items or ice cube trays and the door provides enough storage for a few then this may work perfectly well. Below is what I found if wanting to use strictly for beverages; 12 oz. soda/beer cans will not fit on either the first or second shelf. I took out top shelf and tall 12 oz. bottles still would not fit – need about 3/8 inch more space. If you take out the drip pan from underneath the freezer area they do fit – but not sure what if any impact that may have on cooling, etc. and I was afraid beer might freeze, so didn’t try long term. 16.9 oz plastic bottles do fit on 2nd shelf though. My 12 oz. “stubby” craft beer bottles did fit nicely on second shelf. The bottom area can store 10 12 oz cans. If you take out small second shelf you could fit tall bottles in bottom but then you lose space on 2nd shelf. Positives; Light weight and easily moved around. Design is nicely retro – and this color does grow on you – and is unique. Keeps items very cold - much better than the other mini-fridge I have. Seems to run very quietly too. Plastic “locking” handle was easily attached but is for looks only – it is not functional. Which is probably a safety issue – I don’t think you can have locking refrigerator doors anymore. Door can store - 4 12 oz. cans on top door area. 4 12 oz cans in the dispenser door area and a couple of taller waters, milk, etc. in the tall bottle storage area. Sides and door are metal – top is plastic 1-year warranty Negatives No interior light! Cannot switch door to open from other side. Could have used just a touch better interior space design Plastic handle Overall, I don’t recommend as I feel there are better options in this price range.

Cute fridge! Lots of compliments on it! Seafoam Green. Fits great in a small office.

We’ve been looking for a small refrigerator to place sodas and water in, and if it had any freezer space that would be a bonus. Just wanted enough room to free up some space in our regular refrigerator, then I saw this new “retro” style fridge in a “Surf Green” color and figured that would be perfect. It’s a very common color seen here in AZ and would fit right in. Unboxing and setting up: The unit is very well packed with plenty of Styrofoam framing protecting it from damage and there wasn’t a single scratch, dent or anything wrong with the unit. It’s also covered with some clear plastic covering on the sides protecting the paint which you’ll want to peel off. And inside the shelves were held in place by some easily removable tape. Also inside the instruction manual and door handle are in a bag. The handle you have to install yourself, and they’ve even included an allen wrench so you don’t have to look for a tool to install it. After attaching the handle to the door with the 3 included screws you snap on the outer cover and that’s it for getting it ready to use. According to the manual you will want to let it sit for 4 hours before turning the unit on, this is so that the oil can run back to the bottom of the pump just in case the unit was placed on its side at any time during shipment. There are also two leveling feet at the base of the front so you can get it leveled up while you are waiting. Use: After the 4 hour wait we plugged it in and turned the thermostat to the recommended 4 setting initially. I figured it would take a while to start cooling but within a few minutes the sides started getting very warm “which is normal” and the inside of the freezer box was getting very cold “pretty impressed with how fast this cooled down”. We waited for a couple hours and then checked, the inside was nice and cold so we loaded it up with some sodas and a couple items out of the freezer. I did notice that at the 4 setting it was getting quite as cold as we would want so I went ahead and set it just below maximum and that did the trick. Our drinks are extremely cold and the freezer compartment was super cold “more than plenty to keep our items frozen”. There’s plenty of room to fit 24 cans of soda, between the bottom shelf “10” cans, then 9 more easily in the door. The rest I put on their side on the other shelves “the height of the other shelves can’t hold a full sized can upright but the mini cans fit fine. Water bottles I just laid on their side on one of the other shelves and there’s room in the door for a couple tall bottles, two 750ml wine bottles should fit fine. Final Thoughts: If you are needing a small refrigerator and don’t want one that’s too big this one would be perfect for a game room, family room, wet bar. And you can place it so everyone can see it with its retro styling you really don’t want to hide it away. Our neighbors that have seen it love it and the color, they were also very impressed with how cold it got. It’s surprising just how much stuff you can fit into that 3.5 cubic ft, and the freezer, while being small, held enough stuff to free up some space in our regular freezer. The pump on this actually runs less than our regular refrigerator and it doesn’t look like it’s going to add much at all to our electric bill “not enough to where we are going to notice it”. We really like the retro styling, it’s not a plain old drab looking piece you want to hide away but something you’ll want people to see, “and they definitely notice it”. The only negative “minor” that I could find is that the one shelf isn’t adjustable, it’s fixed “you can remove for cleaning” but you can’t adjust it up/down which would be nice to have so you could fit full sized cans on one extra shelf, but for us, the way it is, it works out just fine. The pump also runs super quiet, you really can’t even hear it running and it’s much quieter than our full sized unit. We will be using this for many years to come and I’m sure you’ll be pleased with it and the design.
