Customers appreciate the compact size and efficient cooling capabilities of the 2.5 Cu. Ft. Retro Mini Fridge, frequently praising its retro style and quiet operation. While some found the handle less sturdy than expected and noted the absence of a freezer, many highlighted the ample space inside for beverages and other items. The attractive price point was also a recurring positive comment.
Overall, a great little fridge for the office, etc. I love the retro look, including the bottle opener on the side. Looks great and fully functional. I mainly keep bottled water, cans of pop, and extra condiments in it, so it doesn't hog up space in my main fridge. I ordered it online, as there were no in-store pickup options for this model, and it did come with two minor wrinkles on the sides (damaged in shipping and handling), but seeing that I got it on sale for $99, I won't make an issue of it. I like how this one does not have a freezer, as it's kind of wasted space, and usually those models will cause stuff on the top shelf to freeze. That's not good. This one is all fridge, and that's why I got it. I have a spare freezer, so that ends up being wasted space. The only complaint I have is I wish it had a light on the inside. I would not pay full retail for this, but if you can get it on sale for $99 or $109...I'd say it's a "Best Buy".

Overall, this is a pretty good mini fridge. The inside is nice and spacious and cold and the baby blue color looks nice. It's quiet, but there is no freezer compartment (which I was aware of when I ordered the fridge) so if you want a freezer compartment, this mini fridge isn't for you. The only problem is that the top right side of the door isn't straight and flat (see photo) and as a result, the top triangle bit is a little loose and I can wiggle it a little bit (see photo). The door still closes and there's no problem with that and the slanted bit is only noticeable if you look from the right side of the fridge and you can't see it head on. I waited over an hour calling customer service (I was on hold for the majority of that time) and customer service was nice and apologized and said my options were to return it and get a new one shipped to me or to keep the mini fridge and get a 10% discount. I took the 10% discount because I am unable to get to a Best Buy store to return it. The issue isn't a deal breaker for me, it's just annoying.

The cutest mini fridge ever, i just love the color baby blue. I ordered this online and picked up at the store. Everything is good so far. I love this because it doesn’t have a freezer. I put mostly drinks and some snacks. So far, drinks are really cold and it’s just so worth buying it. The only complaint I have is the noise but I don’t really care since it’s in my work area.
