It came already scratched up but works great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything worked perfectly but it didnt have anything to protect the top part, not the plastic you take off. I didnt want to deal akth returning it since Im currently in college. Other than that it worked perfectly and keeps eveything cold. Easy to understand as well.

1st Year Great - 2nd Year it died - Bummer.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, the first year was great, and then it just died the second year. But still, that's only about $10 a month... hmmm... not bad I suppose. (It's kind of like renting it then - it worked for one year, and it costs about $100 dollars - do the math and that's about 8 bucks and change a month, for one year. Then, when it dies (even though you used it only indoors, in perfecct tempurature controlled office, and took excellent care of it) you just drop it off for free back at Best Buy when it dies and they'll recycle it for you - not bad. And go ahead and check if Best Buys offers a warranty for these, but the answer is still "No" (makes sense... it's gonna break at some point..). So, no warranty plan, or tech plan that you have will help - these are just kind of "use it till it breaks" - and you can see how long you can make yours last - have your friend get one too and make a bet - see who can make theirs last longest, or shortest - ie, have fun with it, I suppose, LOL. (Now, do I "play again" and buy another one of these? The price is still great... hmmm... maybe... but first we'll see what else is out there too! I just might have to double down on one of these after all, LOL.

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great beverage refrigerator. It does not have a freezer area so there is more room for beer & soda. I hesitated buying since some reviews indicated that it made noise. It is actually very quiet. It was also a great price!

basic small fridge
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, it's a great deal. I put it in a finished basement family room and it's served it's purpose with no issues for two years now. It keeps everything in it cold and has had no noticeable impact on my electric bill.

Perfect for under an office desk, or under printer
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect under desk fridge. Freezer is large enough for one tv dinner. Only downside is the door shelves are not very secure, and if you yank the door open you will have falls. Fit my need for size, and is stylish in all black.

Short and Sweet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well-packaged, so it was easy for one person to move and unpack, and it fit into the trunk of my sedan. Nice, clean design and I especially like that there's no freezer wasting space. I wish the power cord was longer, but this seems to be a universal issue; tricky, as shouldn't use with an extension cord. Very quiet operation and holds steady temperature, can make fine adjustments with control dial, no problem.
