Haven't used yet but warning: handles are NOT metal like the description states. They are lightweight and plastic. This may turn out to be a great little fridge but 2 stars because the description is an outright lie.

Do not buy this fridge! Quit cooling after (7) months, warranted for (12) months, warranty prorated, and buyer pays all shipping costs to have fridge repaired! Save your money!

We ordered this mini refrigerator in our local best buy store and recieved it about a week later. When we set it up and put everything into place we noticed that the side bins were cracked. We are very disappointed with the plastic being cracked but we like the refrigerator overall so we decided to keep it and not use the side door for storage. We've tried contacting best buy customer service multiple times and have spent hours on the phone but they will not help us. They said they are not able to just order the side bins for replacement that we would have to return the whole unit. Good unit but expect something to be wrong with it.

I bought the Insignia 3.1 Cu. Ft. Retro Mini Fridge in Creamy Vanilla less than a month ago, and I’m already in love with it. The vintage design looks absolutely gorgeous — it’s like a stylish piece of furniture that also keeps everything perfectly cold.
Even though it’s compact, the storage space is very practical. The freezer holds more than I expected, and the adjustable shelves make it easy to fit bottles, snacks, and small containers. It also runs quietly, which makes it great for bedrooms or offices.
I really appreciate that it’s ENERGY STAR certified, so I can keep it running all day without worrying about energy waste. The creamy vanilla color is soft and elegant — it brightens up the whole room.
So far, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It looks amazing, works great, and feels like it’s built to last.

This refrigerator is little too loud for a bedroom

Excellent delivery and exchange policies. The fridge has a copper pipe in the bottom rear which is crimped, painted red, and taped off. Caused me to return it, only to find the next one had the same situation.

This mini fridge started falling apart in less than a year.
Both of the handles just snapped off as well as inside shelving.
Please see the photos attached.

Damaged??

Horrible. Was at work when it was shipped but had someone at home when it arrived. After I finally got home the box was damaged. Just hope nothing inside is damaged and it all is working. We will see by the weekend. I don’t have time to mess with this right now.
Can not answer the rest of the questions yet. But it’s less than a star to me. Again I hope this product isn’t damaged. But won’t know until the weekend.

Leaking Compressor, but Helpful Customer Service

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Saw that compressor was leaking even though bought it new. Looks pretty and i really needed a mini fridge. I have physical limitations so it was a challenge to coordinate others to help with it. If it had just been a scratch or something visual, i would have kept it! But when it comes to safety, the leak would mean chemical exposure and risk of fire/explosion. Customer service helped and was understanding. I recognize many people (at other stores too) have had similar issues w mini fridges so it seems to be an industry problem, not a BB issue. If there was a way to check it out in store (or ask someone to before ordering online) maybe that would help? Because if these arrive damaged to the BB store, it isnt fair to BB either. When i do eventually try to buy a mini again, ill still go to BB because the people working in customer service were lifesavers.

Frost onto Refrigerating portion not just Freezer

Freezer develops frost very quickly and carries to refrigerating back middle section. Not the greatest but does the job for what I need. Was hoping for less issues with frost.

I received damaged refrigerator.
I opened the package after return /exchange time period,
I can't even return it!!
This is for nursery room which just remodeled and ruins the whole look.
