Want something that looks a bit like a Smeg, but don't want to spend a fortune? This comes really close. A very good small refrigerator. Perfect for the downstairs bar. The freezer is just the right size for ice cubes plus some pizzas. The bottom, yeah you can get a ton of beverages in there.
UPS delivered this, it isn't very heavy. Be prepared, the box shows the contents, and you'll get a bit of delivery envy. Assembly isn't terribly fun. There's a ton of tape everywhere. The handles weren't hard to install, they just took a moment to figure out. There was an included Allen wrench. There's plastic film on some of the panels. The stuff is hard to remove completely.
A couple of odd things. There was a white tray floating around in the compressor area. It took me a while to figure out it clips onto the top of the black compressor.
The worst, the thing made a strange noise when it ran. Started as a whine (I figured it just made some noise), then got worse to an annoying rattle. It took a while to figure out one of the metal hold downs for the compressor wasn't attached completely. Once I bent the tabs a bit, the thing is actually dead silent.
Get a thermometer to set the temperature. Mid didn't feel cool enough, so I moved it up to near High. Oh, stupid me, seltzer water bottle froze and shattered.
This is absolutely the size to buy. The others are too small. This is moderately tall and narrow. Very easy to use.

So far I am very happy, but I have only had it a few weeks. It will clearly keep things very cold as I turned sone drinks to slush initially. Freezer works great too and it fits in perfectly with the firehouse decor in my basement. No ice maker but I just keep a small container of ice in the freezer and refill as needed.
The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is due to the short period I have had it - I have no sense of durability.

The fridge is very nice looking. My only complaint about this fridge is the temperature setting. I can't keep the the setting from freezing over. The set point need to be above medium before it kicked in and would freeze everything. Im not sure how to keep the temp cold enough with freezing everything.

Unfortunately upon delivery the refrigerator had to dents in it. They should have handled product with care. Next time I will go and pick it up from location.

This little refrigerator is wonderful. We put it behind our bar and it looks great there. Filled it with beer and seltzers, keeps everything super cold. The freezer is perfect for all the ice that we need for mixing our drinks!!!

I am a rock star dad for getting my 14 year old daughter this outstanding mini frig for Christmas. We went big but the value in cost difference made purchase logical. Keeps things cold and looks great doing it. So far so good!

Poor quality, and it jumps from too warm to FROZEN AND EXPLODING BOTTLES with less that half of a click. Horrible product all around.
