    I purchase this because of good reviews, but its glass selves arrived shattered. I contacted the Best Buy service to get replacements, but they said that replacements are not available for small appliances and I must return it. I had to drive 40 minutes to pick this up. Now I have to drive again. What a waste of time and gas. Be aware of the quality when you place an order.

    Stylish and Efficient Mini Fridge – A Perfect Retr

    I recently purchased the Insigni Retro 3.1 cu. ft. Mini Fridge, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The vibrant red color and retro design immediately add a stylish flair to any room, making it both a practical and decorative piece. It's not just about looks though—this mini fridge delivers on performance as well. The 3.1 cu. ft. capacity is perfect for keeping drinks, snacks, and even meal prep items organized. The separate top freezer is a fantastic feature, offering more than enough space for ice trays and frozen goods. I love that it’s ENERGY STAR certified too, meaning it’s energy-efficient and keeps electricity costs down, which is a big plus. Despite its compact size, the fridge is surprisingly spacious inside. The shelves are adjustable, making it easy to store items of various sizes. It’s perfect for a home office, game room, or even as an extra fridge in the kitchen. Overall, the Insignia Retro Mini Fridge is a great combination of style, functionality, and energy efficiency. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add some retro vibes to their space while keeping things cool and organized!

    Seems to work fine besides coming damaged, don't buy this online because the foam they use to package it is cheap and does nothing for protection.

    Bought this for my Mom in her assisted living apartment. She loves it, the color, the aesthetic, and it does what it's supposed to do - refrigerate! Seems like plenty of space for her personal healthy foods, fruits, vegetables, yogurt and cheese. Would make a great addition to a dorm room or a small extra family fridge, and with the addition of the tiny freezer it's a great option for those looking for a mini-fridge with a little extra style without sacrificing utility. One note, the handles are actually plastic (that you put on yourself without the need for tools) so as long as you're not expecting more, it's a wonderful option for the price point.

    Got this little fridge for a shared studio space, works great, easy to “assemble” (the handles just snap on), and fits lots of beverages. Fits in with our vintage aesthetic quite well.

    Have looked at this adorable frig for two years. Finally purchased it. Wish I had done it a long time ago. Great for small space. Its upstairs so no need to be bringing drinks up the stairs. We have a vintage colored Kurig that blends well with this adorable new purchase. Lots of room inside & ice at your finger tips. Love it!!!

    TRUCKERS MUST HAVE!

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

    I’ma truck driver and food is been getting there but if you want to keep a healthier diet, cooking yourself is a no brainier! I’m running this on a 1800 watt inverter with a 2000 surge. It flickers a bit but have been keeping a eye out with the temp. So far it’s been a game changer for me personally. It’s is very efficient hardly does any noise. IT STATES that should not be powered by inverter but these newer pure sine wave inverters are the real deal (imo) The ascetics of this compact fridge are beyond my expectations, pictures don’t do it justice.

    I got it as a gift from my brother. It came in perfect condition. I plugged it in for 24 hours(really a couple of days since i had nothing to put in it). Then i put a few cans of soda in rhe refrigerator door and rhe little ice tray in the freezer. SUCCESS ! It did its job perfectly. Rhe soda got perfectly cold ans 4he freezer made xutw little ice cubes. Eaxh morning i take rhe xute little ice scraper and scrape all the freezer aurfaces. There's always a thin ajwwt of ice so i feel ill need to defrost less by doing this, plus it gives me the satisfaction of knowing its working. Im in a wheelchair and live in a group home so its nice to keep in my room. It has the softest buzz when it's on it Never wakes me up. I love mid century design so its a decorative piece for me also.

    This is a mini fridge bought for my baby to store breast milk and food. It's a baby-specific one. The appearance is really great! The color was the one I fell in love with at first sight! The cooling effect is very good and it's not noisy at all. 10 out of 10!

    Just got my hands on the Insignia™ Retro Mini Fridge and I'm absolutely in love with it! The mint color adds a pop of retro charm to any space. The compact size is perfect for my camper and it fits seamlessly in my college dorm room. Not only does this mini fridge have a top freezer, but it also comes with ENERGY STAR certification! It's a win-win for both convenience and energy efficiency. The freezer works like a charm, keeping my ice cream and frozen treats perfectly chilled. The overall functionality of this mini fridge is impressive. It keeps my beverages and snacks at the perfect temperature, and the adjustable shelves allow for easy organization. The door storage is a great feature for storing condiments and smaller items. I highly recommend the Insignia™ Retro Mini Fridge to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish refrigerator. It's a game-changer for small spaces and delivers on both form and function. Get ready to fall in love with this little gem!

    I ordered this via in store pickup. I waited the 1 hour before plugging it in (as the sales associate recommended). It started working perfectly, we just had to add the handles. It stores all of our drinks (for 3 people) perfectly. It's not too loud sitting in our living room, and the color is so cute. We love the flat top, we can set a plant/decorations on top of it.

    This is a great looking and great performing little fridge. We do short-term room rentals out of our historic home, and our first one was for the dining room to stock for guests. The freezer is so much nicer than your typical mini-fridge freezer, yet it's barely bigger than the old mini-fridge we had. Plus, it looks so nice and fits with the decor. When we decided we wanted to get a mini-fridge for a guest room, we originally thought we would get something smaller but this little fridge looks and performs so nice and has a nice price to go with it, that we couldn't resist getting this one too. We had the 2nd one shipped whereas we picked up the first one (we had read multiple reviews that said it was damaged in shipping). We unpacked the second one and no damage - absolutely perfect! The decorative handles were a little easier to get on this second one, so, yeah, those can be a little finicky to get on but once they are on, it's done. The leveling feet were a little harder to adjust on this newest one, but, again, once it's set, you're done. I don't know what people expect at this price point - you aren't getting some authentic heavy metal handle like the fridges this mini-fridge look (emphasis on look) is based on. You really can't do better if you want a reasonably priced mini-fridge that looks better than all the rest and has a ton of space including a real freezer compartment!

    This is hands-down the cutest mini-fridge. I chose this because we really needed a mini-fridge that had a real freezer, not just a little shelf in a fridge that got icy and didn't really keep stuff frozen. It is so worth it to have the separate fridge, which is super cold, and pretty spacious, which is also true of the main fridge compartment. Perfect size. Really cute design. Works great. Great price. Highly recommended.

    OMGosh! My wife thinks this is the cutest refrigerator ever. I bought it because it was going to be four days before our replacement refrigerator would arrive. I had to bring it home on its side. So, I waited four hours before plugging it into the outlet. With the help of some ice cubes from a neighbor, it was perfectly cold within one and a half hours. Even after receiving the big refrigerator, we left this Insignia 3.1 cu. ft. running for beverages. Of course, I've only had it a month, but it is still performing as expected.

    It's cute, it has a good amount of space and it's perfect for a small Apartment space. It works well, I haven't had any issue, it's not super heavy for the size that it is, and holds more than you my might think a mini fridge would for a better price than some other mini fridges I have seen at the time
