Insignia™ - 18 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator - White

So I'd originally bought a Frigidaire refrigerator, open box, about $300. It was fine, for the most part -- just, a tad too loud. (If you look up Frigidaire fridges, 18.1 cu ft, you can probably find my review). Anyway, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on replacing that with this, as it looked aesthetically more appealing, had good reviews, and had glass shelving -- and am very glad I did. First thing's first; this is a great price for a fridge, even more so one that's so well-designed. Part of the reason I was thrilled enough to spend some extra money on this instead is that my local DWP (of Los Angeles) offers rebates for EnergyStar certified refrigerators; with this fridge, we got a $75 rebate via Paypal. It was super easy, too; I just emailed my digital receipt to an email address that I found on the website with the rebate info, and voila, one day later, they asked whether I'd prefer a Visa giftcard or Paypal deposit. I love the blue LED lighting and sleek inner shelving; even though the door ones are plastic, they work great, and none were damaged in my unit. It gets food much colder at middle-settings than the frigidaire did even at max-coldness. The aesthetic is great, I like the symmetrical design of the in-door handles and sleek boxy design. (The stainless steel model is really gorgeous, as well -- saw it in-store when I went to purchase the white model.) Best part is that this fridge is much, much quieter. There is still, naturally, a buzz or hum when the compressor is running, but it is much less noticeable than the Frigidaire, and also doesn't pump a bunch of extra noise into my bedroom through the wall (which was my issue with that fridge). The exchange process was extremely easy, too; the crew took out the old fridge and installed the new one, quick as can be. A very satisfying purchase.

The fridge cooled down very quickly out of the box. I put a bowl of water in immediately after I plugged it in, and it was frozen 10 hours later when I checked, though I waited the recommended 24 hours before transferring my food over. It runs very quiet and turns on about once an hour for roughly 10-15 minutes, which is an interval that seems about normal. The only complaint I have is that the fridge actually causes electrical interference that hurt my over-the-air TV reception. It took me a few days to narrow it down, but I finally figured out that when the fridge would kick on, my reception would kick out, and then come back on again when the fridge turned off. I did some research online to remedy the problem, and wound up plugging the fridge into a surge protector, instead of directly into the wall. It worked perfectly, and my TV reception is back to normal. Don't let this dissuade you from buying, as this is a great fridge at a great price, and the problem is simple to fix. If you have the same issue, the surge protector will likely solve it.

This is not a review of the refrigerator, just got it 2 days ago but so far so good. It looks and performs good. The big issue I had was that the dimensions listed on Best Buy's web site did not give an accurate height measurement which meant I had to spend hours cutting down overhead cabinets so that it would fit. I was lucky I was able to do so or I'd be stuck as the old refrigerator had already been carted away. On the day of delivery, I spoke with a support person who looked on the same site and acknowledged that the height was listed as 64.88 inches, when in reality, the height was over 66 inches. It didn't help that the delivery guys said that the online dimensions are wrong most of the time. The convenience of ordering online went right out the window as I realized the refrigerator didn't fit even though the dimensions online said it would. Lesson learned... go to store with tape measure and don't trust web site.

I've had this fridge for about a month now. Not much to complain about with this deal. It has one of the best energy costs per year ($43) for an 18 cu. ft fridge! Seriously, it's outstanding! I do wish it had a deli tray, but I can survive without that...I just repurposed one of the vegetable bins lol One downside is that I don't think you can move the door trays around. So fair warning if you're thinking about trying to do that. I just short of broke mine trying to get it off to rearrange the door trays. I decided they were better off where they were. However, if anyone figures out how to take them off please let me know :) I live in an apartment and this fridge fits perfectly in its little nook and has waaaaay more space inside than I need. :) The inside is pretty open so if you wanted to get this as a garage fridge that would work well. It did take a bit of time for it to get completely cold. It doesn't feel as cold as my old fridge (which was an energy vampire), but I don't really have any complaints about the temperature. It keeps all my food, freezer and fridge, as cold as they need to be. :)

Considering this was not the fridge I really wanted, but it fit in my budget and I read a lot of positive reviews, I purchased it for: 1) sleek design with no protruding handles as space is in issue in my very small condo 2) price was attractive and 3) with a bit of manipulation from my very talented boyfriend, it fit into the designated space perfectly. Why only 2 stars? When they delivered it, they were kind enough to switch the doors from left to right. I was told this should have been requested at the time of ordering at Best Buy as they would have changed the doors at the storage facility. But, the doors are not level and considering the lines are a prominent feature and although it's only a few centimeters....it really shows. Also one of the door bins was broken. This is something I still need to report to Best Buy. Hopefully I'll have the same good service as another reviewer (received 10% discount for inconvenience and new door bin arrived within 2 weeks).

For the Price ($500) Its worth it, and looks nice. The Freezer stays cold and the Fridge stays cold. The shelves drive me crazy as they are not spaced correctly to hold soda bottles or cases of soda. The shelving slots need to be adjusted better, as it creates awkward spacing that wont fit items well. If the spacing was better for the shelving this fridge would be perfect. The Delivery department changed my delivery date without calling and rescheduling, they just didn't show up on the day the salesman scheduled. That was very inconvenient. Also the automated phone system that calls to tell you when there coming gives you a 4 hour window. Again so vague..

I bought this for a my garage, It is a basic fridge- not many bells and whistles- this leave it open for space on the inside- which was what I was looking for. I did not get the Ice maker add on. Pros: IT is good size- fits a lot of drinks. The glass shelving is solid and sturdy. Door Shelving is spacious and sturdy Good Price for a new fridge its size Frostless Energy Efficient Door shelving is very good- space and modular- easy to use Leveling was very easy Storage Bins at bottom are spacious Stays Cold! Cons: Takes about 24-30 hours to get fully cool at start up (Fridge - Freezer cools within a few hours) The position of the shelves makes it difficult to stack standard soda/beer cans doubled up- leaving a lot of unused space (i primarily use this for drinks)

I bought this last year and it's worked well. I don't have any major complaints. It keeps my food cold and it hasn't broken. A minor complaint I do have is that the freezer gets so cold I have freezer burn on my meat if I keep longer than a few days and my cauliflower rice develops packets of ice on it. My freezer setting has been at the number 2 setting (right below the recommendation) not sure if I've misunderstood how it works. Would a higher setting make it more cold or more warm? It only says min to Max so I guess it could go either way. The fridge gets the job done though. I haven't experienced any temperature variances within the fridge part. It seems to keep a steady temp throughout. I keep my milk on the door and have never had any issues. My fridge is usually pretty packed too. Oh there's no light in freezer that's not a problem for me, but it might be for others.
