We purchased this mini-fridge a few months ago to replace an older GE model I had ruined while trying to de-ice it using a screwdriver. Not my smartest moment. While this one Insignia one is a smaller version that what we had, it seems to be an improvement in almost every other capacity.
The controls are easily readable and precise. The shelving within is well-designed and sturdy. It is very quiet and stays at a consistent temp.
My only gripes are that the door over the frozen shelf is very flimsy, and that I had to take the door off the unit to get all of the plastic shrink-wrap off of it when we originally installed. That's a real pain.

Was looking for a mini fridge for my room. Found this perfect size, not loud at all, holds up great and it gets cold quick once you first start it.

When my old fridge kicked the bucket, I ordered a new fridge from Best Buy. Since the new refrigerator would take a week to get to me, I decided to buy a small compact to protect some of the refrigerated foods I had and to hold me until the new one arrived. I bought the Insignia compact in the store, took it home, unpacked the box and plugged it in. I did not realize that it started cooling immediately as the control was set to level three and when the compressor started it was so quiet I did not even hear it. The compact worked great for the short period of time that I needed it. It kept the foods cold and some frozen items stayed frozen. It was just what I needed. It is now sitting in the garage, off, unplugged and waiting for when it is needed again.

Arrived quickly and as promised. Just in time to load the van for the freshman dorm! Unpacked, and all was good. Runs quietly. Keeps food cold. Much more practical than a cube refrigerator.
So, for us it is perfect.

Great Compact mini fridge. Lots of room for drinks which for me is its primary use. Keeps everything at the perfect temperature, relatively quiet, and the glass shelving is definitely a bonus.

I purchased this refrigerator to replace the broken one in our 1968 Scotty Hi-lander vintage camper. It fits perfect with just a little trimmed of the top of the opening. It did not effect any of the cabinet above it.
It is very quite and that is important in such a small area. It cooled perfectly and I placed some sausage in the freezer and it froze solid.
The refrigerator arrived as promised and well packaged.
We are very happy with our purchase.

Happened upon a similar model earlier in the day at a competitor's store and bought on a whim. Bought that and brought it up to my office, only to find it was dead on arrival out of the box. Returned immediately. Did some research and found very favorable reviews for the Insignia model. Took it to work and it cooled down immediately. Fits lots of drinks, snacks, and keeps them really cold. Freezer doesn't over or under freeze and works great too! Good design allows for a great use of space within the fridge. Highest recommendation for this fridge!!!!

I have always wanted a small refrigerator for my lanai to keep extra drinks available for guests during summer swim time. I finally found Best Buys Insignia brand on sale for $89 white only so I purchased it. I will say however the shipping process can take a while since these small appliances are not packaged very well for shipping! It took me 3 times until I could get just one undamaged fridge. Customer service was very helpful during the reorder process and that was very helpful during this very annoying process. Final result is a very quiet product that keeps my drinks cold and serves my purpose just fine! Good value for the money!

This thing is small, quiet, and keeps everything very cold. There's a surprisingly large amount of space in there for such a small appliance. I HIGHLY Recommend.

Unit runs very quietly. Plenty of space for beverages and leftovers. Freezer area makes ice cubes quickly and is larger than most mini-fridge 'freezers'. Great value.

Package came on time and everything was well wrapped. While the exterior suffered a small dent, overall performance was not impacted. I was impressed with the protection for the interior parts.
The fridge comes with a top section that you can use as a freezer but do not expect it to get very cold. Other than that, everything works as it should. The fridge produces a small sound while cooling that is not obtrusive and turns off after the set temperature has been reached.
Overall, pretty satisfied with this purchase.

So far, the refrigerator is doing great. It is keeping items cold and is nice and quiet. It's being shared by 3 other co-workers so the size is just right.

I have had this fridge a year as of this month (Aug 2017). What I LOVE about it, is that if fit snuggly under my cubical desk. All the other fridges were either too tall or much too small to be practical. Of course the freezer area is kind of a joke on all of these style fridges because it doesn't quite freeze ice, but I put my water bottles up there to get them really cold.
After about 8 months I did notice that it's getting louder and hums quite a bit, but it's not as bad as some.
I wouldn't want to have to 'live' out of it, but I love my little fridge at work.

I purchased this for my upstairs office. Has lots of room, great arrangement of shelves, and keeps items sufficiently cold. The only complaint is the protective plastic they placed on it was under them placing all the hinges and seals making it nearly impossible to remove unless taking off all seals and hinges. Has the ability to switch the open door from a left or right hinge depending on your preference.

I bought this little fridge for my office. It's not very large inside, but it stores about 25 bottles of water easily, plus cheese and yogurt, which is just what I bought it to do! The fridge is very quiet, and makes my water nice and chilly. Still haven't tried the little freezer portion (though I appreciate the tiny ice cube tray that came with the refrigerator!). I'm really glad I made this purchase, and I highly recommend this item as a dorm / office / upstairs fridge!
