Nice looking mini fridge

We have a guest room that also doubles as our home gym. This little fridge fits just right in a little space we have between a murphy bed and treadmill. It will mostly just be used for beverages (water, sodas, sports drinks) and since it’s a functioning home gym, it’s nice to keep those beverages and some chilled protein bars in there. This fridge provides ample space for all of this with a lower space, a removable glass shelf, and door storage. Standard water bottles fit in the door and on the glass shelf. One thing to note is at the back of the fridge behind the glass shelf, there is an uneven ledge that is not aligned with the glass shelf and causes a bump that your water bottles will sit unevenly on if you try to push them to the back of the fridge. There is a small drainage hole in the back behind the shelf. Seems like a drainage hole should be lower as this will only catch overflow at the top shelf and not below, or maybe this is for another model that has a freezer?
I tested the temp and the back wall is actually sub 30 degrees when temp set on “Med”, but does a good job keeping drinks about 38-40 degrees in the rest of the fridge.
If you remove the glass shelf you will have room to stand up a wine bottle. This could actually work as a second little fridge to store sodas, wine, or beer without cluttering up your main fridge.
It's relatively quiet, but not silent. It does make a humming noise when it’s just sitting there. Hopefully it will not seem too loud to the guests in the room.
The exterior has a nice sleek modern look. Overall, I like it and it will come in handy both for guests and gym beverages.

This is nearly perfect for a dorm room, a TV room, a spare bedroom or as in my case...The Garage! It can be set cold enough to partially freeze my cache of caffeinated cans of fizzy water! It easily swallowed and chilled to perfection, 15 cans of 16 ounces of the elixer of (my) life! It fit perfectly in a space in my workbench and is easily accessed from the throne of thinking (my workbench chair!) after I finish my daily workout in the gym on the other side of the garage!
What more could anyone ask for? Glad you asked!
A light. In the garage that isn't a big problem only an annoyance but in a dorm room, TV room or spare bedroom a built in light that turns on when you open the door is something of a necessity and this otherwise (Mary Poppins Alert!) practically perfect in every way Insignia 1.7 cubic foot Mini Fridge is knocked down 1 star in the real world in which many folk will be using it. In my world it is PERFECT. In fact, I will just get a mini LED light and stick it inside and if needed, it'll be there.
It does exactly what it was built to do. It fits perfectly in my workbench in my garage. It is, for me, the Goldilocks version of a refrigerator. Not too big. Not too small. Just...right! Highly recommend for those that need one in their world.

I bought this for my daughter because of her new business she’s opening. So far it’s been wonderful according to her and that’s all I need to know as a father. A good buy at Best Buy!

Installed this lil guy in my Office. It's nice having an on-hand space for drinks and small snacks. If you need a drink/snack fridge in a game room, office, or a small dorm fridge for essentials, something like this should do the trick. Also looks like they have plenty of options for sizes, I opted for the smallest one personally because I Wanted something I could have in my office space for drinks. Anything bigger would have been in the way for me. So, this little 2-foot cube of a fridge is great, and worlds better than those cheap 'drink coolers' they like to sell that barely keep anything cold, let alone actually cool something down.
This may not look like anything special, but it's not trying to be, and that's actually a benefit here. Nothing to push the costs up, solves a singular problem and doesn't invent any new ones to try and solve.
Would be nice if they could get the compressor on these mini fridges a bit smaller just to get a little more internal storage space out of them without making the whole thing bigger. But as advertised it has a little more than 1 and a half cubic feet of space inside to stuff it full of drinks and snacks. It's nice just buying a case of my drink of choice and putting them in this for the week. Also keeps others out of my juice since I no longer have to store it in the family fridge. So that's nice.

This is a really great little refrigerator. Right out of the box, it was easy to setup and remove all the plastic. Within 3 minutes, the fridge was plugged in and already cooling. It also got cold very fast.
It's also super quiet. You can barely hear it running even when it's cooling, so it's perfect for a room that someone sleeps in like a bedroom or dorm room. It also has a low profile, not taking up very much space but at the same time providing a good amount of space for drinks and snacks that need refrigeration. The door is also big enough to hold a larger drink like a 2-liter soda bottle.
The glass shelf is also super strong and allows it to hold even more items. The "Insignia" logo is also pretty sharp despite being painted on instead of attached, but that made setup even go even more quickly then needing to put it on the door.
The door is also very sturdy and there is an easy temperature adjustment dial inside the refrigerator. Overall, I highly recommend this fridge for drinks and snacks and it's once again perfect for use in a dorm room, bedroom, or TV room.

Great Addition to my Dining Room

In the box is the fridge and an instruction.
First Impression - The fridge is exactly what I was expecting and fits perfectly in my dining room.
I got this particular size and model because I keep drinks on my buffet in my dining room and it would be great if they were already cold. I typically get cans but lately the bottled drinks have been on sale, so I have bottle cola drinks in there currently.
The fridge fits about 15 - 16.9 ounce bottled drinks on the top shelf and on the bottom shelf it fits cans perfectly. On the door, it fits the 16.9 bottle or cans or maybe a wine bottle.
The drinks were room temperature when I put them in and a couple hours later they were cool.
The instruction manual does state that you should only plug the fridge in on one outlet. Nothing else should be plugged in, in the second outlet.
Overall, I love this fridge and it is a great addition to my household as I can put juice boxes or any other drink that I want to keep cold in there. I would recommend to friends and family and I would purchase again.

This mini fridge has honestly been the perfect size for what I needed, and it looks even sleeker in person than I expected. The setup was simple and the instructions were clear, so I didn’t feel overwhelmed trying to get it ready. You do have to let it run on the coldest setting for a couple of hours the very first time, but once that part is done the high, medium, and low dial makes it easy to keep everything at the temperature you prefer. It cooled fast and has stayed consistently cold without any issues at all. I also really like that it comes with a shelf and extra storage in the door, because it gives you more room to organize things instead of everything being stacked on top of each other. It runs very quietly, which I definitely appreciate since it sits in a smaller area and never becomes distracting. I haven’t switched the door direction yet, but I like knowing I can if I ever need to rearrange the space. Overall it has been reliable, convenient, and a great little fridge to have for our bedroom.

It's a mini-fridge and it works well

So we have a dedicated spot in our master bathroom bar for a mini-fridge. The spot can actually hold a larger size mini-fridge (like the ones that have a small freezer section). However, I opted to get this cube-sized mini-fridge (rather than rectangular-sized) for one main reason - very little to no upkeep needed. The problem with the mini-fridges that have a freezer section is that you have to occasionally thaw out the unit due to the ice build up in and around the freezer section. The last unit I had got ruined during this thawing process, I'm not sure how. But the sad thing was that I never even used the freezer section in that unit but had to essentially throw it away after I tried to thaw it. So, when this one came up I decided to opt for the smaller unit that didn't have the freezer section and I'm happy that I did. So my advice is that if you really don't need the freezer get this Insignia unit, you'll be pleased with it's size, capacity and performance as I've been so far and you won't regret or miss not having a freezer.
