Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mini fridge was purchased for my brother who lives in a nursing facility and needed something small which could sit on a chest of drawer or my night stand type table. It is very light and easy to move about and one has to be careful not to push it around too much to avoid tumbling to the floor. (My brother is visually impaired.) It was set at mid level coolness and it's adequate for keeping his leftover food treats fresh for later consumption. I have not tested the freezer section as of this date. He's happy, so I'm happy!

I purchased this Insignia mini fridge approximately 3 months ago and couldn’t be happier with my purchase! I have it upstairs in my master bedroom and absolutely love the convenience of not having to walk downstairs to the kitchen every time I want a bottle of water. It runs very quietly and I didn’t even notice an increase in my electric bill. I removed the wire shelf and can fit an entire case of 24 bottles of water in it. So happy with this purchase!

Price, size and features are perfect for my daughter's dormitory needs

The fridge is the perfect size for my office. Fits neatly under my desk and out of sight. I have cold water available all day and a cool place to keep my lunch.

Bought to fit inside my bar in my man cave. Fits perfect. Great fridge

Excellent compact refrigerator. Cools things quickly. Nice size.

Using in my renovated retro camper. Seems to work just fine. No problems. I used vinyl to make it retro,

This is a great addition to any small dorm or bedroom. Works very efficiently.

I do not need a full size fridge, just something small to store milk, eggs, yogurt, and drinks. This insignia works perfectly for that. I asked the salesman to open the box in store, so I was lucky to get one with almost no damages. It looks nice in black, has a surprising amount of room inside, and not much noise. I would not use it in the same room I sleep in, but most people would be fine. It makes a small pop sound each time the compressor turns on or off, but while running it only had a low hum with some water churning sounds. I mounted mine 2 inches from the wall, on carpet, using a side socket adapter. The fridge seems to radiate excess heat mostly from the sides, rather than the back. I've found that the average running cycle is about 2 minutes, followed by 8-12 minutes of down time before it cycles on again. Seems like it would not use much power. I followed the instructions very carefully, leaving the unit installed for four hours before turning on. It says the 4 setting on the thermostat is ideal, but I found that the temp will dip slightly below freezing at this level. I ended up turning it down to 3 the next day and have been monitoring temps. The 3 setting seems to be best for this model as it keeps foods right under the freezer area around 32F and items on the bottom around 36-40F. I never use the door on any fridge since it is always 45-50F and will slowly spoil sensitive foods. It is a good place to stash baked goods like muffins, and fruits that you want chilled but not too cold. The freezer is more like a chiller, as the manual states, and while the actual shelf gets down to 0F, the air inside is still only about 26-28F, meaning it will freeze water to make ice, but little else. Maybe an hour or two of temporary ice cream storage. Not really a concern, since I don't need a freezer anyways. The fridge does a great job keeping everything cold, and I noticed the freezer area has very little frost after a week of use. The removable shelf is a great feature and can be removed to store taller drinks in the main section, or put back to support a pie in the middle. The first day you plug it in, the unit will be louder than normal. By the second day, it will quiet down a lot. As with any fridge, there will always be a few lemons, but if you inspect the box and follow the directions, this model seems like a good buy. If it lasts a year, I would be happy.

I have been hesitant to purchase a fridge for my dorm room because I was afraid the noise would bother me. Let me say, this is one quiet fridge! It tucks discreetly under my bad and I've never heard a peep out of it! I was lucky enough to catch a great sale. I am very happy with my purchase. One small complaint: my local store did not have this in stock, so they shipped me one and it arrived with a dent in the side, which annoys me. But after carting the bulky package across campus, I did not feel like taking a second trip back to Best Buy.

This fridge does the job with a couple of caveats. First, it has a tiny freezer inside which takes up valuable room. This does, however, keep ice cubes frozen and ice pops solid. Second, if you need fridge room, be aware that the bottom shelf is NOT full size. It extends the width but only half the depth. That was a bit of an annoyance (compared to the unit it replaced), but not a deal breaker. Last, I'd suggest using a piece of duct tape on the little bar inside the door that keeps tall bottles and milk cartons in place. If not, they'll be falling out when the door is opened with any force. Items on the door do, however, stay quite cold.

Perfect for the Office. Needed something small & quiet Great price!

Old compact frig broke and Best Buy had a great sale. Right size and a great price.

We have an area in our rec room where my kids hang out with their friends to play video games and watch movies. My son mentioned he wanted a mini-fridge down there and when I came across this one, I was sold. It's the perfect size, energy-efficient, and a very reasonable price. This was a great idea and it is so convenient for my kids and their friends!!

good price and size for a college dorm, freezer included but small

It fits perfect especially with a removable door. It keeps everything ice cold and has plenty of room.

I'm a college professor, and I spend a lot of time in my office. I purchased this refrigerator to keep my lunch, water, and snacks. It is a perfect size for small work spaces. It keeps everything nice and cold without freezing them. It is not heavy but placed it on something with a sturdy base. I highly recommend this product.

Great price and value, awesome man cave fridge. Keeps things cold.

Very quiet and compact. Great price as well on this unit.

Got it for a sweet deal. The store rep was nice to match the price with the white color, and give me the discount. Pick up was less than 2 min. so far the unit works great. Perfect for my office in terms of size and space. Will see how long it lasts.
