    Thermostat Issues Again,

    I bought one of these 2 years ago and it has been incredible. I liked it so much I got the slightly bigger version a year later, after almost a year of dealing with it not getting below 44 degrees consistently while full I finally just took it in for repair. What I noticed was that even if you have it set half way, when you turn it cooler it doesn't kick on to get colder. Seems like a thermostat issue. I noticed the dial was different too. So, I bought another 3.3 because I had such good luck with the first tone. Same problem as the 4.4. It seems to get down to 44 degrees while full and will fluctuate a bit but doesn't get down to 41 or less consistently. Same thermostat design. Whatever they changed from 2 years ago, it's not good. If you don't to keep this full, or if it's just for beverages that don't need to stay under 42 degrees for food safety issues, these will work fine. Best Buy, it is a royal pain to empty these out, haul them to the store and then wait a few weeks for you to repair them. The other version was so much better. As we speak that version sits at 38 degrees with the dial set at 2. The one I just bought is turned 3/4 of the way up and is at 44. Cranking it up higher makes no difference, I have tried that.

    From dorm rooms to man caves, this mini fridge will keep food and beverages cold for as long as you need them. If you are like me, 3.3 cubic feet is hard to imagine while shopping online, so to give you more insight, the product stands about 32 3/4 inches tall and is about 19 1/8 inches wide. It was taller than I expected, but still fit where I was planning on putting it. It weighs about 55 pounds, which really isn't that bad for someone like me who can not lift a ton. It does not have a freezer or ice maker, but I was not looking for that anyway. It has glass shelves on the inside. There are compartments on the door for extra storage which is a plus for the smaller items like ketchup bottles, etc. The initial setup of this fridge was easy. All I had to do was take it out of the box, plug it in, and select a setting. I was really surprised by how quickly the product was ready to go. I was also surprised by how quiet the product is while running. I do not ever hear it. It is awesome. Overall the product is a good purchase. If I had to suggest anything to the manufacturer, it would be to add better legs to the bottom. I was setting this down over carpet and it would have been nice to raise it up higher off the carpet with just the legs. We ended up putting it on a platform that worked just as well.

    A great mini fridge!

    In terms of an Insignia mini fridge, this thing is a fantastic edition to any dorm, garage, or anywhere you might want an extra fridge. Unpacking out of the box is quite the easy task. The box just slides up and over the fridge after cutting the straps. The refrigerator will be sitting on a carton base and is covered with a protective bag and has corner guards as well for great protection while handling. After removing the bag off the fridge, you can pick it up and move it off of the carton base. Shock warning. I got exteme friction shocks while taking the bag off the fridge . Just be forwarned that it may happen. The door is taped up, and the power cord is shoved in the bottom of the unit by the control unit and other wiring. Be careful not to damage the other wiring while trying to take out the power cord. Inside the fridge, there is more tape holding the shelving in place. There is also a protective wrap on the outer door of the fridge that should be peeled off. Once plugged in, and much to my surprise, opening the door you will see a light! I have had a few mini fridges and this is the first to have a door light! It is a very soft and pleasant light, but does a good job at illuminating the whole fridge. The fridge while running is fairly quiet, and not overwhelming or annoying. The overall build quality of the fridge I would say is very good. It looks sharp, and doesn't feel cheaply made. The door opening motion and door seal feel nice too. The door opens from the top of the fridge , and out of the box opens from the left side. There is instructions in the provided book on how to change the door open side if you want it the other way. Now, the important part. Shelving configuration. With this being a bigger mini fridge and taller, it gives a lot more space and option for storage. In my case, I am using my fridge in the garage for mostly drinks. The main shelving has 4 levels, and each one can fit a 12pk of cans. The door has more limited space, but I absolutely love that they decided to only give 3 levels in the door, where the middle level is able to hold 2liters or bottles of wine upright, or whatever you may have that is taller. It is not wide enough for a gallon of milk, but can do cartons or half gallons easily. One thing that I haven't touched on yet is that this fridge does NOT have a ice/chiller box. It is all refrigerator space, and i'm actually quite happy that they did not put one in this fridge. It is something to consider if you like having the chiller boxes in your mini fridges. And lastly. Controlling the temp is easy and the dial is right by the light and out front so it is easy to see and adjust. Overall, I highly recommend this mini fridge for its overall build quality, the storage space and layout, and that is has a light!

    I got the Insignia 3.3 CF Mini Fridge for bottled water storage in my office. Based on past experience with mini fridges, I was concerned about noise and heat. I am very pleased to report that this Insignia mini fridge runs cool and quiet. Very nice! The sides of the cabinet do warm slightly while the fridge is running but quickly return to room temperature. Heat added to the room is negligible. This fridge is much roomier than expected, and the removable shelves mean it can accommodate a variety of container types. The LED light is bright and easily illuminates the entire interior. I didn’t move the thermostat from its “Recommended” position. The refrigerator was plugged in in the late afternoon and partially loaded with 12 water bottles. By the following morning, my water was a refreshing 37 degrees (as confirmed by a thermometer). Unboxing was a breeze. The packaging is clearly marked front and rear, so it was easy to have the box correctly oriented before opening. The refrigerator door opens from the left and is reversible if you need it to open from the right. I like the textured cabinet finish. Dust and fingerprints will be much less noticeable. The door has a nice satin finish that really looks luxurious. There is a full-width handle across the top of the door so that, if need be, I can reach over and open it without even looking. My wife has already inquired about one for her office. There are height-adjusting feet on the front of the fridge that work well to slightly raise it. If you are placing the refrigerator on carpet, you will need to place its feet on tiles or some other support. The door extends down to the floor and, if not adequately supported, the corner of the door drags and would quickly wear an arc pattern in the carpet. I am very happy with the Insignia 3.3 Cubic Foot Mini Fridge.

    Black Insignia - 3.3 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge I own a few Insignia products and this one does not disappoint. It is small, affordable and very handy/useful. It is packaged very well with foam and cardboard surrounding it. The unit itself is not extremely heavy and I was able to move it out of the box by myself, but needed help to move it elsewhere. The doors and shelves are taped to keep them in place and there was no damage at all to the product. I was a little worried because the outside box was damaged in transit but thankfully it was good! The door is interchangeable and appears easy enough to switch from side to side. I did not need to switch it but the directions make it seem very simple to do so if needed. I placed this unit in the bonus room/office/game room because that is where it will get the best usage. It looks great and fits against the wall without taking up too much room. The unit sat for a day before actually being plugged in – as per instructions, it was to sit to for 4 hrs to settle the cooling system. I set the temperature dial, which is in the front and easy to locate, to “recommended” and put 12 water bottles in. The next day everything was nice and cold and think that setting will work! It sits on a low pile carpet so I placed smaller coasters under the feet just to give it a little lift so the door would open easier. So far, very please with this new addition and would definitely recommend it.

    This mini refrigerator is many things, but it is not mini in capacity. The interior is brilliantly designed to maximize storage capacity. The 3 glass shelves slip out and in, with the lower shelf being a half glass shelf. This allows instant removal for tall bottles or commodities that require large vertical capacity. You can stand tall beverage bottles vertically. The door shelving is designed to maximize storage capacity. The exterior size truly belies the interior capacity. Interior light is LED and bright. The only control is a dial that allows the temperature be set from 32 degrees to the low 50s easily, or to turn the refrigerator to OFF. The exterior is sleek and smooth on all four sides, and provides the bonus of allowing the back of the refrigerator to be placed extremely close to a wall on the sides and back. Thankfully, the door may be installed to open left to right or right to left with a five minute procedure. I have the fridge in my master BR, and it is extremely quiet. The Insignia has leg adjusters that make it very easy to level. Summary: Excellent well designed and constructed mini refrigerator, easy to highly recommend!

    Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. It worked for until my best buy return ran out and then died. Best Buy wants you to physically bring it into the store. Be careful buying anything "Mini" because you will have to bring it back if repairs are needed. But save yourself the trouble -do not by this

    Mini fridges have always been a must have in dorm rooms, but I haven't had once since I was in college many years ago. After moving into a new home a handful of years ago, I had issues with my main kitchen fridge storing food as well as drinks, so I decided to add a second fridge to my kitchen, one dedicated to drinks only. It has been a huge help with cooking and entertaining guests. This new Insignia mini fridge checks all the boxes. It has all the room for beer and pop I need, without taking up too much space. The shelves are adjustable, and space has not been an issue. It runs fairly quiet and has kept my drinks perfectly cold so far. Another perk is that it has a reversible door, so depending on the layout of your kitchen, garage, or basement, it is easy to adjust for your needs. Build quality feels solid, but the unit as a whole isn't terribly heavy. The size makes it a bit cumbersome to pick up and move around, but the weight itself has not been an issue. Overall, I am really happy with the fridge, and expect it to give me years of reliable service.
