I was able to purchase this on sale for a college dorm room and while it has not been used yet, it is a very cute style, design and offers a lot of space. I purchased the service plan with it as well so that if something goes wrong, we are covered.

It's a very nice little fridge and freezer. I purchased it for use on my lanai which gets direct evening sun. The directions say not to place where exposed to sun. Had I known that prior to buying it, I would not have purchased this refrigerator. I do not want a faded pink fridge.

Ordered it on line and scheduled delivery for the day after I moved in my new home, which had no frig. No issues with ordering and delivery. Worked great, so long as eggs went in horizontal to door in front. Vertical alignment froze and cracked the back 1/2 dozen (learning curve the back of frig may freeze stuff). Lettuce towards the back froze too. Freezer worked great. More capacity than I expected. Got me through to Labor Day when I got a great deal on a full sized refrigerator.
I'm delighted to hear that the mini fridge is both functional and adorable! The retro aesthetic adds a charming touch. If you have any other appliance-related questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Carl | Insignia Products

Looks nice but has a lot of issues

Please read this before getting this fridge. I usually dont write reviews but this fridge has caused me a lot of annoyances.
This fridge is aesthetically really nice but, I will be honest, it comes with a lot of issues. It's definitely a hit or miss; some people getting perfectly working fridges, and some people get fridges like mine. So it is very important that you check your fridge as soon as you get it. I, unfortunately, did not do that. I bought this right when I moved into a new place(last June), and since it was so hectic, I didn't open or check the fridge until like a month later(last July/early Aug), which is about 2 weeks after Best Buy's return policy date. So please definitely check the condition of your fridge ASAP.
My fridge came with a lopsided freezer door that wouldn't shut properly and inside drawers with cracks in them. But the biggest issue was the noise. I'm not a mechanic so I can't be completely sure, but I think my fridge had an issue with the compressor so it was making insanely loud noises that could be heard from the first floor of my house. This happened a couple days after I turned it on. If I could, I would've added the videos of the noises it was making because I'm pretty sure it would dissuade anyone from buying it.
However, if you do get a defective one, pass the 15 day Best Buy return policy, and can't return it, just so you know, you could still exchange or possibly get it fixed under the manufacturer's warranty. This product comes with an one year limited manufacturer warranty, which is covered in the user guide they send you. You can go to any Best Buy and they will fix or exchange the product under the conditions listed in the guide. So, I took the fridge back to Best Buy, and they allowed me to exchange for a new one at no cost and pretty easily. However, you might want to call and make sure(and make sure to get an appointment) they will do it for you, especially if you don't live close to a Best Buy. The employee that helped me did say it's usually not so easy/simple.
The new one is in much better shape. The doors shut well, there are no cracks, and it is much quieter, which is why I said your fridge could be a hit or miss. There does seem to be a slight cooling issue, but I will have to see if it has any more issues pop up in the next 2 weeks.
Overall, I would say this fridge isn't really worth the trouble. If you want to keep it in a lounge area where noise isn't really an issue, I'd say it's an okay fridge since it looks good and does keep things fresh, but definitely not for places where it should be quiet, like a bedroom or office.
