Frigidaire - 4.5 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge - Stainless steel

I was looking for a fridge that could easily accomodate my child and their roommate at college. There are lots of choices that are smaller but we weanted one that could easily hold some ice packs for those times when a headache / migraine happens. Virtually every smaller fridge has only a tiny place to make ice or hold ice packs but not both. This unit has separate doors for the freezer area and the cold area. That means it is probably larger than you would think compared to smaller units that simply create a "freezer" area at the top of the normal storage area. We have found that separate freezer and cold sections is a good thing since it keeps frozen things like ice trays or ice packs at a uniform temp. The opposite side of this choice though is the unit is going to be taller than the typical mini-fridge. If height is not at a premium then this could be a good choice for you if you do not want to sacrifice fridge space to a "freezer' area that can only hold the tiniest of ice trays (and which tend to have ice build up making the usable space in them even smaller.) The only factor to consider is the weight. It is heavier than most smaller mini fridges but not to the point 2 people cannot handle it easily. Noise has not been a factor for the past 2 weeks of constant use. I was glad to hear that since we did not want to replace it with a smaller one just so they could sleep at night. All in all we are very satisified with the unit. So why didnt I give it 5 stars you may wonder. Simple, I rate on a bell curve so my 4 is equivalent to most peoples 5. I find that folks these days are too quick to rate something 5 stars or 1 star without much consideration. That makes it very difficult to spot the truely exceptional items from the very good ones (or the truly bad ones from just the ones that are sub-par).

I own rental units and have purchased more major appliances than I can count. This refrigerator was supposed to be in an opened box, but in excellent condition. The reality was that the refrigerator was dented on three corners. This did not occur in shipping since the box was not damaged. There were dozens on dented but working units online that I could have purchased for half price. I didn't want to do this because my condos are very nice and I want to be proud of them. Best Buy admitted the error, but their suggested solution was for me to spend 2 to 4 hours to drive to my condo, re-box the unit, wait for the UPS truck to pick it up, then wait another week for a good unit to be delivered. That would be fine if my time was worth nothing. Refrigerator is working fine - It's not Whirlpool's fault, but I don't have the option to do a review of Best Buy.

I don't really have any complaints about this item. It works both top and bottom (freezer ice cold, fridge easily maintains 40 degrees - or less if you choose). Spacious top and bottom boxes. An interior light in the fridge is a nice bonus. Best Buy asked me what side I wanted to mount the door so it would swing open left or right. I said, "open to the left." Needless to say, it came with the door swinging open to the right. Swapping the door with the kit provided took about a 1/2 hour. It wasn't a big problem, but you want to be sure everything is lined up perfectly or it could compromise the seal around the door. No problems on this end. I'm hoping the Frigidaire name stays true to it's good reputation. I've had this item about a month and a half and can't find anything wrong with it. I did buy a separate wireless thermometer to put in the freezer and fridge to monitor the temps in each box, and they are consistently cold!

I have had this fridge for about a month. It keeps things cold. So far it seems like a good little fridge. The only thing I don’t like about it is the wasted space on door for cans. I don’t drink soda so it’s wasted space maybe they should come up with a way of either having the can thing or swap it out for more room for condiments, like different attachments. The other strange thing is that for the first 2 weeks it was very quiet. It’s in my bedroom so it was like a soft purr noise. Now however for what ever reason it’s louder. But I would still recommend it because it’s about the only small fridge out there that has a nice separate freezer. Can fit a good amount of stuff and is frost free. And energy efficient.

I love this bigger version of the mini-fridge! I'm a teacher, so having a separate freezer is really a huge bonus for me. The only disappointing things are that in getting a larger/separate freezer, it seems to have taken a bit of space away from the fridge. I can't fit my gallon jug of water in this fridge, but I'm not complaining too much because I can put half full bottles of water in the freezer and add more water later. I can buy a week's worth of groceries or more and I don't have to leave my room for lunch! It's made my life much easier & more convenient. The other thing that is a small pain is that the bottom drawer slips out. It would have been better if they could have figured out a catch for the drawer to keep it from falling out when pulled out a bit too far. Overall, I'd give it at solid 4.75. but they only allow whole star ratings.

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN "0" STARS IF IT WAS AN OPTION!!! You would think i would have learned by now, but this store delivers second hand items and tries to pass them off as new. I am disabled and I thought they were going to deliver the new and put in place and take the old one away. Now I know why they didn't do that. This is the 3rd time they have done this to me. I am attaching photos of what they delivered to me. I am extremely very disappointed in this store. I will definitely purchase from another stor and I suggest you do the same if you expect to get what you ordered and paid for.. This is not a shipping problem because the box was perfect.

I needed a new small refrigerator to replace one in my family room (well, more of my man-cave, actually :-) ). This unit was a bit larger inside but same footprint outside, so the size was perfect. I like the brushed stainless and black exterior very much. This holds cans, bottles and juice easily, has a nice large vegetable crisper and good shelf capacity. Has a more spacious top freezer too. It runs extremely quietly and really keeps things nicely chilled on only the middle setting. Overall appears to be a very quality unit and I'm glad I picked this over the other three or four choices I reviewed. This is a Frigidaire, the same as my downstairs freezer. That freezer has been going strong for a number of years, so I was very comfortable choosing the brand for this fridge replacement.

As many reviews indicate in their experience, I also received a fridge with external damage. The damage on mine was to the back of the fridge and thus didn't really cause much of a cosmetic issue. As far as the fridge itself, it has been working like a champ so far. Freezer is staying frost free and everything in both compartments remain cold enough even at below coolest settings. The fridge is attractive, can hold 3 half gallon milks in the door, the crisper drawer is very large and plenty of other storage. I use one in my elderly mother's room and it serves all her needs. I have a second one in my den and it more than takes care of my fridge needs there.
