Bought as a gift was very pleased. Stays cold. Nice color.

Loved it at first, even though it was cheaply made. (Handles popped off easily and the plastic piece that covered the hardware on top wasn't even attached, so it could just get knocked off if you weren't careful.)
After about a month, it stopped working. The lights would still come on, but no refrigeration.
Too bad, it was very cute.
A lot of people seem to have this same problem after a while. Probably best to just spend a little more and get something reliable.

Buy a Different Fridge

Terrible.. the back of the fridge is literally 12° colder than the front of the fridge (I’m not exaggerating… I put 2 fridge thermometers in it, one at the front and one at the back). In order to keep the entire fridge at least 40°, I can’t really put anything on the shelves unless it’s right up at the front, otherwise it’ll freeze. Because of this major issue, I use it mostly for drinks, not food.
I'm deeply sorry to hear that you're experiencing a significant temperature disparity within your Insignia Retro 3.1 cu. ft. Mini Fridge with Top Freezer, with the back being 12° colder than the front. This is unacceptable and I apologize for the inconvenience it's causing, particularly when it comes to storing food. We understand that this is a major issue and we're taking it seriously. I'm going to make sure that our team looks into this and works on finding a solution to rectify this problem.

Too Noisy for a Nursery

I really wanted to like this fridge! I was looking for a stylish retro mini fridge for our nursery. Unfortunately, the compressor is LOUD. So loud that we had to take it back and ended up exchanging it for a comparable Frigidaire. Not as cute, but way quieter with similar features.

The first one have 2 defects the crisper drawer had cracks in it and the seal around the bottom drawer would not the the door close completely. Best Buy did make the return and replacement very easy but the replacement crisper drawer also had a crack in it

OMG I bought this in July and it completely stopped working four months later!!!!! Thermostat was shot or something
Worse part lost my food, even worst part Best Buy is such a garbage place to buy they don’t accept returns after two weeks and geek squad is supposed to come look at it
Guess what they never came.
DO NOT BUY THIS INSIGNIA FRIDGE ITS CRAP AND YOUR MONEY WILL NEVER BE RECOVERED!!!!! The sales guy literally told me when I tried to return this, “ this fridge is designed for college kids and to break within a year”… “ I would never recommend anyone this brand” wow
That is quite the racket

I wanted to like this and it does check a lot of the boxes on a mini fridge that I wanted, but the main issue is that the freezer door seal keeps popping out and the freezer door must be physically pushed shut in order to close and not build up ice. For a brand new fridge to have a freezer door that won’t fully shut itself when you push it. Unfortunately I cannot return it because they only give 15 days to find any problems. So I guess this could work for you if you can pay attention each and every time you go into the freezer to firmly push the door shut, but otherwise you’ll be scraping ice off your freezer.

It’s a decent little fridge, but not so great if you actually use the space with small items even already having issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I brought this little refrigerator home , followed all the instructions before I plugged it in the next day,it tripped in right away and run for most of the day without getting cooler. I plugged it out waited for 4 hours before plugging it back in, it tripped in right away and immediately tripped out and kept tripping in and out every 5 or so minutes. I returned it.
