    Great Mini-Fridge. BRIGHT RED! Very Cold!

    Our little mini-fridge we keep in the bathroom for cold water conked out after 12 years (as it turns out a $6 starter relay fixed that one) so we replaced it with a new, and went with this RED Frigidaire. I did online order and curbside pickup which went flawlessly, the box was strapped and undamaged so I didn't bother inspecting the contents. Everything was new and undamaged when opened at home. Plugged it it, slid it into place, and never looked back. Well, had to turn it down as it was freezing my water haha! Good job! The silver handle on front is plastic, clips into place, but I never use that as it sits on the floor, so I just grab the pull slots on the top of the door. The handle doesn't feel like it would last years of life if used regularly. The bottle opener that goes on the side is metal, but I didn't use it as my fridge sides into a slot under-cabinet and it wouldn't fit. Off to the garage it goes with the repaired previous mini-fridge! It's a typical mini cube fridge. Shelf inside slides out for tall things, which is all I keep in it... door pocket has room for a tall item and a few shorter ones, as well as a little shelf in top corner. Freezer box is top right. COLD! Once it got up to temp, I actually had to turn it back a notch as my water bottle froze! Humming along nicely now. As for how loud it is... I don't hear it when I'm in the bathroom, much less in the adjacent bedroom. It's as quiet as our previous mini-fridge. No complaints of issues with sound of it. Being a Frigidaire, I expect to get years of good service from it, as did the last one. Recommended!

    Cute design! Arrived with multiple scratches. Would love to use ice tray, but freezer compartment doesn't freeze and leaves small ice droplets. Be sure to put clear plastic tray underneath to gather water. Have had it a year and notice it gets very hot.

    It would be ok if I could open it with the handle but I’m missing the brackets and screws. And I cannot get anyone from the company on the phone or through email to get the missing parts. I’m Not happy at all.

    So far so good, one week. It’s nice looking, looks well made. Cools beautifully. It’s only been 4 days. Fits good under desk. Be careful to leave space behind for air to circulate. It has a temperature control :)

    Overall, this fridge was a great addition to my office! It lost a start since it was a bit more limited inside in terms of space, but it has been fantastic in terms of functioning and aesthetic! The handle surprised me since it's literally just a pull - not a handle that has a hinge. The height of the shelf prohibits some items from fitting above and below, but that's fixed by removing the shelf, or buying a bigger fridge altogether. I also dislike how the freezer only freezes 3/4 of my ice cube tray, however I don't blame the fridge itself but the simple fact that I have so much in there needing to be cooled. I wish the freezer wasn't the first to go but I don't know if that's actually fault of the fridge or my choices. Either way, the retro style is very sleek and beautiful!

    I was looking for a clean, retro look for a small fridge for my office, in an attractive but striking color. Love the look of this one (including the functional bottle opener that attaches to the side). A little disappointed that the handle is silver-painted plastic, not metal, but you can't tell the difference by sight. Cools effectively and the small freezer compartment (with ice tray) is functional.

    I ordered this in coral. Every photo I found made it look beige, and my store didn’t have it, so I worried about the color. When it came, I was pleased. It is indeed a nice blush-y coral. Kind of peachy. I ordered it for work, and needed it to be quiet. It is just fine, and boy is everything nice and cold. Freezer is little but my veggies are frozen solid. Honestly, a great purchase from someone who’s on a budget. Everyone loves the retro look.

    Solid value mini fridge with a plastic handle

    Decent little fridge, with a great look. It's a bit noisy and causes power to surge / lights to flicker when it kicks on, but this is not uncommon for minifridges. It holds about 15 regular sized bottles, and has an ice shelf which is very nice. Only low level complaint is that the chrome handle you see on the front is made of plastic instead of metal; weaksauce. But still, I get compliments on it in my game room all the time and I enjoy it.

    Really fits the theme of my Grey, Red and Black shop. Nice retro look is a good alternative to the Beer Safe vinyl covers for small refrigerators. Fits well atop my work bench and below upper cabinets. Really appreciate Best Buy quick return policy on the first unit that arrived with shipping damage. Easy took it back and refunded my money. Got the new unit and installed as described above. Recommend this fridge to keep your beer close at hand and icy cold.

    I am writing this review about 8 months after my purchase. The issues I have are more about ergonomics, than functional. The only place I could put the fridge was on the floor, so when I bent down to look inside, it would have been great if the fridge had a light. Related to a fridge light, the dial to set the temperature is hard to see due to small numbers on the dial and no fridge light. So then, it is hard to see what temperature number the dial is pointing to. I got this fridge to store soda. The door side shelf can securely hold one 2-liter bottle, or one 1.25-liter bottle, along with 3 16.9 oz bottles -- but if you quickly open the door, it doesn't hold the 16.9oz bottles securely. The door side shelf has a bar that does hold them in place, however, there is an open space of 3 inches from the bottom of the door side shelf bar to the bottom of the fridge. Also, the shelf bar doesn't lineup with the bottom of the fridge, there is also about a 1-inch open space there. So, when you quickly open the fridge door, the 16.9oz bottles slip out. I was able to prevent this by putting a strip on the bottom door of the fridge that lines up with the door shelf bar to stop the 16.9oz bottles from slipping out.

    Product shipped not the same as product shown

    I specifically wanted the layout pictured so cans would be stored vertically to save space for other items. The fridge I received has a different door layout and also has a small freezer compartment which takes away more storage space. Fridge functions fine but is not quite what I ordered.

    Quiet fridge: Does the trick

    The color is a bit more pastel than what is pictured. The front hardware is plastic not metal. The fridge is spacious, but the best part of this fridge is how quiet it is! I returned another bev fridge because it was so noisy, but this is definitely quiet.

    We bought this for my disabled wife to have a fridge she can reach easily on her bad days.it works pretty much as expected with two minor issues. The compressor is a little louder than is ideal, and it did not come with the in-door can dispenser as pictured. Very light weight, cools very effectively, and looks really good.
