    I needed extra space as my refrigerator is small and I have no room for a larger fridge. This unit is VERY small inside. I use it just for condiments and it holds very few of those! It is rather noisy as it turns on often. Wish that it was a bit larger inside.

    Bought a Insignia mini fridge, NS-CF17BK9, in Sept 2019. It stopped working April 2020. Called Best Buy, who referred me to Insignia, who referred me back to Best Buy Geek Squad. Geek Squad said bring it to the store, but stores are closed due to the corona virus. Then promised to call me back with instructions/decision - never did. Took a half a day on the phone, felt like I wasted my time. Refrigerator had one yr warranty, which all said they'd honor. Seems they make it so inconvenient, that after a while you give up and reason heck it only cost $79.99, I'll just buy another, only not from Best Buy or Insignia.

    I bought this refrigerator to use at work in September. It stopped working around January. At first it would need to be reset and would then work for periods of time. Not long after it just stopped working altogether. I’m extremely disappointed in this purchase. For over 100 dollars this fridge should have lasted much longer that 3 months. I would not recommend this to anyone.

    Several of the 1 star reviews explain how the fridge died in a short period of time. Mines clunked out in about 15 months, huge disappointment. Definitely wouldn’t buy again.
