    In my opinion this is the best looking mini frig with all the features of a 'big frig'. First, it obviously looks just like a full size. Inside it has great space including in the door...and the mini freezer is perfect ! I love it !! It did come with the packaging not intact and was dented, but I was so excited to get it I overlooked that, and even put one of my own on it dragging it upstairs without any male help. lol? And lastly, it was on sale at Best Buy and was a great deal !! I LOVE IT4

    Perfect item for dorm or small space. Does not take up more room than the cube style minifridge because one uses verticle space! This is an important practice feature if you need more food storage, but are limited on space. Few minifridges have a separate freezer compartment. This is a huge plus. Lots of space for food. Nice stainless steel exterior.

    I bought this little fridge to put up in our game room. It has worked out great for storing beverages, keeps them very cold and so far no problems with it after having it for a year. I caught a deal on it when I seen it on the daily deals. We had it shipped and it came with a dent in the upper front door. I was a little disappointed but we just put a big magnet over it and it’s not even noticeable now. I definitely recommend you picking this up in store and not have it shipped.

    So far, this is doing what I want it to do. I don't buy much groceries, so this is ideal for me. The freezer holds 2 containers of meat (ground beef and chicken breast) and a boat load of frozen veggies. The fridge part holds my extra large 18 count eggs, almond milk, and 2 containers full of sandwich meat. I like the little beverage holder it has. It can hold a few regular cans of soda or what have you. If I get a bigger place, I might upgrade it to a bigger model, but for now, I like what I have as it's not too big and not too small. Sure, I wish it was bigger but for my current living situation this suits me well.

    I bought this mini fridge a month and a half ago to replace a 18 yr old mini fridge (it still worked fine but I wanted an upgrade with more room and a separate freezer compartment.) So far I love it. I just use the fridge part to keep my drinks in because I like my drinks extra ice cold. I turned the thermostat up to 6 1/2, keeps my sodas & beer perfectly chilled, every now and then I'll have a bottle of water that has some ice in it which is also great. The freezer works great too it keeps my ice cream pints frozen solid and it comes with a mini ice tray, I tried it out once and it does well freezing ice cubes but I would rather have the room it takes up for more ice cream. The only thing I thought might be an issue is the "new" smell that it had but I got a couple of arm & hammer fridge packs baking soda. I put one in the freezer and one in the fridge, now I don't notice the smell at all. I also got this fridge on sale then the next week it had dropped another 20.00 on a different sale. I notified customer service to do a price match guarantee and they credited the 20.00 difference back to my card. One last thing, this fridge does not defrost itself but it also comes with a mini scraper. I noticed the other day that frost had formed in the freezer but wasn't hard to scrape off with the scraper(it also works like a little shovel so I could transfer the scraped off frost to a big cup then tossed in the sink.) Just a minor inconvenience to me, with my older mini fridge I had to unplug and set outside on my porch every spring to wait for the frost to melt off. Overall, I think this was a great purchase.

    Pretty impressed with this thing overall, and got it $60 off, which never hurts. Best Buy had it ready in half an hour. I recommend you pick it up in a decent-sized car as fitting it in a Ford Focus 2014 SE's back seat was a bit of a trick and I had to take it out of the box and assume any responsibility for damages in doing so. Luckily, I worked for a moving company and had no problems getting it in myself after adjusting my passenger seat. As for its function, read the manual! A few important tidbits in there, like running it at 7 for at least 2 hours before putting food in it, keeping it a couple of inches from a wall, and being aware the sides heating up is NORMAL, and once it's cold, it isn't a space heater. It's also been said if you want to freeze things, turn it up to 7, then back down to 4 for normal temps. I find 4-4.5 to be a good range, all depends on how cold you like your food and beverages. Lately, it has been hot, but it's easy to adjust to your liking. Any more space would likely defeat the point of a mini-fridge. I like the drawer in the bottom for things like fresh fruit and veggies, etc. I kept having people raid my food and drinks and will no longer have that issue with this fridge. It's just big enough and the inner shelf has two levels. The doors can be reversed from left to right depending on where you put it. I'm looking forward to filling it with goodies, headed for the grocery store now!

    I've had this mini fridge for 5 years now! It's still works and is in great shape! I'm upgrading to the 4.3 version for more space, but this is great for a smaller bedroom like mine or even a small dorm!

    Very nice compact refrigerator !! Roomy and spacious - holds quite a bit and has multiple compartments for water bottles and other beverages and foods. It also has a mini freezer section at the top. It is very classy looking - both inside and out. The price was great too as it was in sale - $60 off. It’s perfect for an office or a patio or any place you need to keep extra food items and beverages !!

    I love this little fridge & freezer. It was a tiny bit more expensive than the other models, but it is a pretty black and stainless steel color and don't let the size fool you. I can pack a weeks worth of veggies 1/2 gallon of milk, eggs and more in the fridge compartment and the freezer holds a bunch of frozen veggies and berries and little frozen pizzas. Perfect for an efficiency apartment, dorm room, or game room. This little fridge and freezer holds enough that it makes the regular sized versions seem extra useless space. Everything is always perfectly cold no matter how much i've jammed in there. Money well spent.

    This little frig is incredibly roomy, and the freezer is very cold and very spacious.It is a quiet runner and is the perfect addition to our family room bar. I looked at so many mini refrigerators before choosing this one. Great looking, great price. I am contemplating buying another for my “she-shed “ ( adult daughter’s old playhouse) I am completely satisfied.

    We picked up the unit from Best Buy and it was in perfect condition - new. (I read about the horrible experiences regarding delivery problems and the damaged condition that the fridge and box arrives in.) Plugged it in and it quickly was cold. The separate freezer area is a good size. Using it in my daughter’s college dorm.

    So far this is a great mini fridge and very useful especially during COVID-19. We bought this for our guest house since the mini fridge that was there that was like from the 60s or 70s finally gave out and it has worked great for our guests. we brought it to the main house during COVID-19 and Have been using it for soda and water and frozen food and making ice the Ice try that comes with it in the freezer and it’s been working great it’s a great mini fridge but like most mini fridges We have seen if you put your drinks too far in the back near the back or touching the back wall of the fridge even if you tuen the temperature up so it will not be to cold they will get frozen. It happens to us and one soda exploded causing one of the clear plastic drink holders on the door to break in half. We think it is a great that it has a separate freezer. We would Recommend this product Because it’s good quality and it’ is Best Buy brand so it comes with two year warranty or One year warranty or something can not remember at the moment. So if you’re looking to get a good mini fridge with a separate freezer Compartment that is not in the fridge and that really freezes stuff and properly and it is the right size for the spot you need it for the spot you are putting it then we would say get this one.
