    This fridge freezes up and defrosts itself for no reason. I had it looked at and it’s just the way it’s made I was told. It is garbage. Looks cute and that’s all

    Cute, Efficient, Hot

    Love the retro look. Keeps items cold as recommended. Cute and efficient. Yes, the door handles are cheap plastic, but you don’t need to use them to open the doors. The downside is that the sides get hot. Instructions say that the sides will be 20 degrees warmer than the room temperature. This isn’t bad unless the little fridge is in a warmer spot.

    I am so happy that I bought this mini fridge. It fits perfectly in my daughter's dorm room. We plugged it up and left to do some other things and when we returned only a few hours later it was already cold. The freezer works great for keeping her ice cream and a large box of hot pockets frozen.

    It came dented on the bottom fridge door, I’ll take it as added character but was very dissatisfied with the delivery truck giving me a brand new dented product.
