    It has frost in the fridge wall and makes our milk into ice, not totally frozen but we didn’t feel like safe enough to drink icy milk.

      I am sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing with your fridge. It is never ideal to have frost build-up causing your milk to freeze. We take the safety of our customers seriously and we will definitely look into this matter. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

    Best College Purchase Ever!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This mini fridge has been a total game changer for dorm life. It’s the perfect size to fit drinks, snacks, and even some leftovers without taking up too much space. The shelves are well-designed, and I love having a small freezer section for ice cream and frozen meals. It runs quietly, so it doesn’t bother me or my roommate when we’re studying or sleeping. Honestly, I don’t know how I’d survive college without it — highly recommend to any student moving into a dorm or apartment!

    Not happy at all with this fridge and as I see the return policy I may not be able to return it. It lets off way to much heat to be in a small room. I had some mini sodas in the fridge and since the cans were touching the walls of the fridge they froze and exploded in the fridge. I will try to return this anyways.

    I can't get a refund for the fridge I returned. Ref #282006380. It was so easy to buy on line and so hard to return and have the price removed from my credit card. This I don't understand. H. Hazelip

    I purchased this for a small conference room. Although it does cool some, the main issue is the noise. If you will have this in a room with anyone in or near it, do not purchase. I have given it a single star only because zero stars is not possible.

    Cute mini fridge when I first got it for my classroom! I was totally thrilled about it but after only having it for a month it starts to make these loud and annoying noises for 15-20mins every hour or so. Of course it starts to act up after you can’t return it. Y’all it’s soo cute but not worth the noise and it came dented. Keep looking!!! Trust me
