This mini frig fit perfectly in the space our builder left at our wet bar. The front is classic and smooth. It is quieter than my $3200 Samsung frig. After finding the perfect thermostat setting frosting has not been an issue. I knew it was not frost free when purchased. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is probably trivial to some. The door is hard to open without the frig sliding on the hardwood floor. We did eliminate the issue by placing a slim non skid pad under each foot which was challenging due to it being under the cabinet. This also makes the no-handle entry a little more challenging since it is now closer to the counter top. Not quite 2 months in use and it is doing a great job for the price point and is so handy with the shelving for accessing different variety of cans and bottles. Love the lighted interior so glad I waited for a sale and spent a little extra! Hope this helps.

This mini fridge with freezer is just right for my needs. I put it in my bedroom to keep my special meals, meds, and drinks in. It runs very quietly, and keeps everything very cold. The freezer is great for individual ice cream treat, as well!

We bought this to keep in our newly finished basement "theater room", actually just the room where the big tv is, to keep pop and beer. I was worried it was going to be noisy. It isn't!!!! It's the quietest refrigerator we've ever owned, any size. AND 4.5 cu. ft. is bigger than it sounds! And the little freezer section holds plenty of ice to last through a few days of happy hours. (doesn't make ice mind you, but holds plenty.) Got on sale for $0 using Best Buy points and couldn't be happier. It was well packaged, and the finish was protected with clear plastic over the whole unit, not just the fake SS front. Reliability??? Won't know that for a few years, but for now, we're happy.

This is a good space saving refrigerator/freezer. It does need some ventilation on the sides particularly as this is where the unit gets rid of the heat. The interior is quite usable although a bit more flexibility in the shelf arrangement choices would be nice. The interior is geared more for short(ish) cans/bottles/items but I've managed to get a few oversized items in. The front door is designed for and will hold two common sized gallons of milk! I love that. The freezer section can hold 2 or more ice trays along with many more items with careful arrangement. It is a little lacking in height so it is constrictive in that sense but this size of fridge is what it is. The refrigerator section defrosts automatically, but the freezer is not automatic.
I've seen where some folks don't think it gets cold enough and I have found that it is important to not place things against the back interior wall. That is where the cold is transferred into the refrigerator interior and that process is accomplished by convection. Leave some space there. Also be certain to remove all of the protective plastic film from the surfaces before operation. The left and right sides transfer heat into the environment convectively and the plastic film will hinder this operation and make the refrigerator not cool properly.
The unit is quiet for a refrigerator. There is some noise but it is not loud at all. I could easily see this to be used in a student dorm room with sleeping arrangements close by.
I'm quite pleased with this mini-refrigerator/freezer.

This roomy mini fridge was a lifesaver over the 4th of July. Both my full-size fridges stopped working one day apart from each other. We ran out and purchased the Frigidaire mini fridge and it's been great. Kept our food perfect for the special day. We're still using it. It's quiet, keeps things cold, and can fit quite a bit. Would recommend it.

I really like this fridge. I love the freezer and I think it is super spacious. However, I will never buy it again and I will NEVER recommend Frigidaire to anyone ever!!!
After some months I realized the fridge had a temperature control issue. I noticed if I put things near the back then they froze. Rock solid FROZEN!!! But near the front it stayed cool. If I tried to adjust for this by making the fridge warmer, then the front got too warm and things wouldn't get cold enough, If I tried to adjust by making the fridge a bit cooler then everything just freezes.
Furthermore, the drip pan (?) in the back can't be removed. Although, I don't even know if that is a drip pan because I've read the manual TOP TO BOTTOM, a hundred times and nowhere does it indicate what this plastic bowl-ish well is in the back that is sitting on top of and attached to the cooling engine (I think?) in the back of the fridge. Every month or so it fills up with brown-ish smelly liquid but it is SO hard to clean because I can't figure out how to remove the well as it is stuck down and I don't know if I'm just supposed to rip it out.
However, I liked the fridge enough that I was willing to live with this if I could just get some answers and workarounds. I called Frigidaire truly just hoping to talk to a technician and figure out 1. Is that thing the drip pan? 2. If it is can it be removed? and 3. Is there anything I could do to fix or help with the temp control issue? Only three questions, I imagined a technician would be able to easily give me some insight into. Instead when I called and asked my questions, the man put me on hold and then came back to tell me that I'd need to put in a claim to be processed for a replacement. I stressed that I wasn't looking for a replacement just some tips/tricks and general info but I was told I had to submit the claim. He hung up saying he'd email me the link for the claim and it should take no more than two weeks to process.
From here the customer service just got worse and worse. When I open my email, and clicked the link, I realized he had sent me the wrong link. The only product options available were for air purifiers. I still submitted all the other information with pictures hoping that I'd get a reply with the correct link or they'd just process it as a fridge, Nope, I got a reply a day later just saying I submitted with the wrong link. The end, no direction on what I should do, no new link nothing.
I then called again, some time later. I explained what happened to the lady on the phone, she apologized and then asked for the information over the phone and submitted the claim on her own from her end. I received the confirmation email. I was told, "This will not take more than 2 weeks to process."
That was in October. It is now going into January and I haven't heard not ONE thing about my claim. I have called TWICE more and EVERY TIME I get told. "This shouldn't be taking so long," I've been told that my case has been "escalated." That was about a month ago now. It is very clear to me that Frigidaire customer service is LOST and their claims department must be asleep at the wheel. At this point I can only assume that they are trying to get me to forget about this so my warranty can expire and they don't need to help me.
This is now the second fridge I've bought at Best Buy. The first was an Insignia that I had to return twice (due to severe high pitched broken fan noises on both units) before they just gave up and gave me a refund. I've learnt my lesson. I'll NEVER be buying a mini fridge from Best Buy ever again and certainly never an Insignia or Frigidaire fridge!

Brand response from FrigidaireSupport
Posted .
Hi Nhylers, we’re very sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve experienced with your FFPE4533UM refrigerator and your frustration with the service process. We understand how concerning uneven temperatures in the fridge and the buildup in the rear drip pan can be.
For the temperature issue, it can sometimes help to ensure that vents aren’t blocked by items and that airflow is not obstructed, which can improve even cooling throughout the compartment. For the rear drip pan (often referred to as the drain pan), it is generally designed to stay in place, and gently cleaning the accessible areas with warm water and a soft cloth can help reduce buildup and odors.
We also want to acknowledge the delays you’ve experienced with your claim. This is not the experience we strive to provide. If you continue to have issues or need further guidance, please contact us directly via Live Chat at Frigidaire.com or call 1-800-374-4432, Monday–Friday, 8:30am–8pm ET, and Saturday 9am–6pm ET. Our team is committed to helping resolve your concerns. - Reed

Big mistake having this delivered it arrived beat up. There are tons of dents all over it and the door doesn't completely seal when closed. Unfortunately, it's to heavy for me to lug back to the store to return.
Other than that I am completely satisfied with the fridge. I love the freezer I can hide my Trader Joe's desserts from my roommates in it. I can fit milk, juice, eggs, yogurts, fruits, cold cuts to feed me for the week. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

Roomy, quiet - perfect for overflow frig

Quiet with a surprising amount of room. The freezer is actually a freezer, with a simple door that latches and keeps things cold. Not your typical small dorm room frig - this one feels more solid. Also has a light that goes on when the door opens - nice. It fit easily (box and all) into my Subaru Crosstrek upon pickup. Frig came with a small dent at base of door even though the box had no damage to it, but as we keep this in our garage, I did not see the need to return it for another.
Overall, just what I wanted.

We use this as a beer fridge and for that, it works great. Has enough room for cans on the top shelf and door, and bottles on the bottom shelf. However, I can't imagine this would be large enough to store a ton of food. The freezer is very nice and latches closed so cold air doesn't escape and mess with the temps throughout. The model is quiet and stylish, so we don't mind having this in our kitchen.

Suprised! great freezer compartment

I bought this for beverage center in my home and to use for guests/party beverages. I'm very pleased with how much fits in the fridge, ability to customize the shelf positions, and a light in the refrigerated compartment. I'm most suprised by the little freezer compartment. Most of these fridges come with a little compartment at the top with a loose fitting, hinged door and open back that doesn't really keep anything frozen. This unit has an actual sealed freezer compartment with a tight fitting door. I tested it by putting a gallon zip bag with ice cubes in there. 1 week later, they were frozen solid and loose in the bag meaning no freeze/thaw cycle that gives you 1 big clump. I haven't tested it for freezing items, but placing already frozen items in there seems to be just fine. I would be confident to use it for small frozen items like ice cream treats :D Overall, definitely worth the price for the quality.

Fridge was perfect gift for my boyfriend. We plan to keep in garage, but in the basement for the winter. He loves it and the perfect size. The back did come dented and damaged, even when I did in store pickup to avoid shipping for these reasons. Overall I bought on sale, and still great quality besides the dents.

This Compact Fridge was purchased as my 7 year old LG French Door ceased to function. I'm grateful I was able to find this and it is suiting my needs nicely. It is big enough to accommodate my immediate needs plus hold at least 1-2 days worth of left over foods. It is quiet when it runs and has adequate shelving and door bins, not to mention that the bottom door bin accommodates 1 Gallon containers. Although I've only had this for less than a month, I'm grateful for its filling a need. This would be perfect for an additional refrigerator for a "Man Cave", "She Shed", "Home Bar", "Game Room", etc.

Very high quality fridge. Much better than most of the smaller mini fridges on the market. If it fits in your space, go with this one. You'll appreciate the extra space (50% bigger). And the freezer section inside is the nicest one I've seen on a mini fridge (sealed door).

Bought this for my daughter at college. Fit perfect and the wattage is under the minimum for the dorm. Very spacious and easy to set up. Haven't heard any complaints from her so far (only been a few weeks). Best Buy was a great place to purchase (we did online due to COVID-19). No issues at all.

So far I am loving this mini fridge. It is a very good size to hold a variety of drinks and the freezer part gets very cold! I had the fridge turned all the way down and accidentally froze a soda so it definitely does it job of keeping things cold.

This mini fridge holds a lot. It cools quickly and the freezer keeps everything rock solid. Plus it's very quiet. And it's very nice looking as well.
