    Nice fridge, but get it on sale!

    Overall, a great little fridge for the office, etc. I love the retro look, including the bottle opener on the side. Looks great and fully functional. I mainly keep bottled water, cans of pop, and extra condiments in it, so it doesn't hog up space in my main fridge. I ordered it online, as there were no in-store pickup options for this model, and it did come with two minor wrinkles on the sides (damaged in shipping and handling), but seeing that I got it on sale for $99, I won't make an issue of it. I like how this one does not have a freezer, as it's kind of wasted space, and usually those models will cause stuff on the top shelf to freeze. That's not good. This one is all fridge, and that's why I got it. I have a spare freezer, so that ends up being wasted space. The only complaint I have is I wish it had a light on the inside. I would not pay full retail for this, but if you can get it on sale for $99 or $109...I'd say it's a "Best Buy".

    Overall, this is a pretty good mini fridge. The inside is nice and spacious and cold and the baby blue color looks nice. It's quiet, but there is no freezer compartment (which I was aware of when I ordered the fridge) so if you want a freezer compartment, this mini fridge isn't for you. The only problem is that the top right side of the door isn't straight and flat (see photo) and as a result, the top triangle bit is a little loose and I can wiggle it a little bit (see photo). The door still closes and there's no problem with that and the slanted bit is only noticeable if you look from the right side of the fridge and you can't see it head on. I waited over an hour calling customer service (I was on hold for the majority of that time) and customer service was nice and apologized and said my options were to return it and get a new one shipped to me or to keep the mini fridge and get a 10% discount. I took the 10% discount because I am unable to get to a Best Buy store to return it. The issue isn't a deal breaker for me, it's just annoying.

    The cutest mini fridge ever, i just love the color baby blue. I ordered this online and picked up at the store. Everything is good so far. I love this because it doesn’t have a freezer. I put mostly drinks and some snacks. So far, drinks are really cold and it’s just so worth buying it. The only complaint I have is the noise but I don’t really care since it’s in my work area.

    Works really well. Got it for my college dorm, and it fits a good amount of groceries for 1 person. I was debating between the freezer one but decided on this model because it's more compact. I dont regret it much because the back of the fridge gets super cold like a freezer on a low temp. The shelves are glass and moveable, theres no fridge light, can fit half gallon bottle if lying on its side or in the side compartment with the swingy thing. If you place cans on the dedicated compartment it could get in the way of your stuff on the shelves so beware, but nothing some moving around cant fix.

    Love this little fridge! We use this as our drink fridge and its pretty much perfect. The only con I would say is that you can't get two levels of cans with beer bottles as a level and a wine bottle doesnt lay flat nicely front to back.

    Love the color of the retro look. I have to keep the dial to the coldest number (7) because I like my drinks very cold. So cold to the point where some of the drinks have ice slush built up in it. But at the coldest temperature, it’s not doing that. Drinks aren’t slushy. I felt the drinks weren’t cold enough. As long as the dial is at the lowest, I’m happy. With that said, I don’t think it should be like that so I knocked off a star for this review.

    As a college student, I found this mini-fridge super helpful for storing all my mid-day snacks and drinks! So far, the fridge has been performing great and has kept all my items chilled to perfection. There is also a knob inside to adjust the coldness as well. I personally enjoy the fact that the glass shelves are removable so that I can easily clean them when I need to. The installation was simple, however, beware of the metal backing while moving the fridge (it may scratch your floors if you are not careful). Overall, I love the compact size and minimalistic design of this fridge! Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

    Love it! The vintage look is so cute. Setup was very easy as well - took less than 5 minutes after unboxing it. It gets really cold and is fairly quiet. And heads up....If you store items near the top of the fridge, they may get frozen. I keep it in the livingroom next to a bar cart and fits in very well. Not too big, not too small. The only con is I was unable to affix the bottle opener to the left side of it but that wasn't a deal breaker. It's still a great mini fridge for the price!
