    I got this little fridge to use in my basements for cold drinks. It's small like an end table (slightly taller), and quiet enough to be up near my TV area and does not bother a thing. When first plugged in it took a while to get cool, then I loaded it with beverages and overall about 24 hours on about ¾ cold setting to get all things chilled well. I was asking a lot of it up front since much of my soda was in the garage at near 80 degrees before. The shelves are non adjustable, and fit cans easily, but 16.9oz bottles have to lay on their sides, but I can lay them 2 deep on the shelves, so that works. 12oz glass bottles are in the same catagory. The door has a middle tray that is able to have taller bottles. I There is a 4.4 cubic foot that may have taller shelves, but I wanted this one because of the lower profile. The door itself is reversable, comes default with the door hinge on the right, easily changes to left with a few screws moved. I hope it lasts, so far it does what it says and I do recommend it.

    Great little fridge!! I was looking for an office fridge, something small and not tacky looking. Light weight and quiet. And I found it! This weighs a whopping 37lbs which means my 57 year old self had no problem carrying it. Once set up it looks sleek and non-intrusive. And quiet. The adjustable shelves allow instant adjustments for any situation- daily lunch or office party! The setting was preset to was not cold enough so I was able to change it without having to guess -dial is up front and easy to read. The only complaint I have is that there is no freezer section. Not sure if I need it for my office, but if I ever bring it home... There is not really much to say about a fridge- its nice, clean lines, light weight, and very handy to have. Recommended for any use in any place. The Insignia brand has been good for me since I have been using it for years. This is my first fridge however, and the reviews have been positive so far. Being Best Buys store brand, it has my trust.

    Hello friends and welcome to my review of the Insignia 3.3 Cu FT compact refrigerator. When best buy asked for a review of this refrigerator, I thought well that's a silly request. I mean a fridge is a fridge, right? It's just a box that's supposed to keep stuff inside it cold. Pretty straightforward, it either works or it doesn't. However, upon a closer look, there is much more to this fridge than just that. I have had several 3.3 Cu ft fridges over the years and none have been as well set up as this one. The other models I have used have always had an upper section that acted as a mini freezer area. It is small, only about 4 inches high, and not very good at freezing things. This design eats up space you would normally use for the mini-fridge stuff. Most folks who get one of these style fridges are mainly using them for beverages. And that's where this fridge changes things and makes this a much more useful mini-fridge. First off for this model anyway, I would call this a beverage cooler. Mainly because this little guy can hold a lot of 12 oz cans. I currently have 60 - 12 oz cans in this fridge! Yes, you read that right SIXTY 12 oz cans! That's something I would have never thought possible. Also, inside this mini fridge right now I have 5 bottles of wine on the door. This is all fitting inside due to the fact that Insignia redesigned the whole inside of this fridge. The cooling system for this unit is located flat along the rear wall of the unit. Freeing up lots of space on the top of the box. Then the shelving inside is maximized for cans. The shelves are closer together as well giving an extra shelf in the middle. Finally, they redesigned the door storage. There are 3 totally useable shelves on the door. Two are for cans and the center one is great for large water bottles or regular-sized wine bottles etc... The final things I want to mention are the lighting, temp control, and sound. The lighting inside my previous mini-fridges was, shall I say nonexistent. There were no lights in the previous models, but that is fixed with this insignia model. They have put a nice bright LED light right in the middle of the box. This allows you to see everything inside even with it fully stocked! Next off is the temp control, it works great and I can get this mini fridge very cold. Just the way I like it. And last but not least, the sound, my model is installed in a base cabinet and I can't hear it at five feet away. If it was out in your room you might hear it, but it is quiet. I would highly recommend this mini fridge from Insignia. It works great as a can cooler which is what I wanted it for. And from the inside has been maximized I think most folks will find it much more useful than other models from competitors. It's five stars for me!

    Excellent Small Refrigerator

    Looking for a small refrigerator for home or office, this would be an excellent choice. It looks good inside and outside, plus set up is easy. All you need is electricity, because there is no app to download, and no Wi-Fi needed. The interior design affords lots of usable space. Along with 3 sturdy glass shelves, there are in-the-door racks that can hold lots of soft drinks, beer, food items, etc. Using the preset cooling level, the temperature is perfect for keeping them cold. My use is predominantly for beverages, and it is great to have cold ones at hand without taking up room in the big fridge. Should you want it more or less cool, the control is easy to access on the interior wall. Set up entails removing the fridge from its carton, placing it in an appropriate spot, adjusting the balancers if needed, and plugging it in. As to placement, it is recommended that the fridge has room to breathe. Placing it in a confining area can adversely affect proper long-term operation, which is not uncommon for appliances of this type. Once it’s running, give it time to cool the inside, before loading it up. This fridge offers lots of room for food and drinks within a small footprint. I would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to achieve that goal.

    High failure rate

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

    We purchased 10 of these mini-fridges for use in our inn on Oct 2022. So far, two have failed just past warranty. Not a great track record. One stopped working completely. The second stops cooling until you turn up the thermostat, then it works for a while, then you have to turn it up again. Very odd. Tried taking in for service, but they don't even bother to fix them. If you are looking for a fridge to last a year or so, odd are this one will do fine. If you are wanting something more durable, perhaps you should look at a different brand.

      Hi,
      Thanks for your review.
      The compressor will work when the temp sensor doesn't reach the setting temp, and will stop when the temp sensor reach the setting temp. If the unit can cool food, it doesn't have issue. BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Never buy Insignia...... they are CON ARTIST

    DO NOT BUY. This is a terrible mini Fridge. My wife bought this for me as a gift for Christmas to to replace a my old one from college which I have had for almost 2 decades. Within 3 months of use the door tray cracked and is now broken from normal use. It has never been over stuffed. I contacted the warranty support as it mentioned in the owners manual. They denied my request immediately with no real explanation and wouldn't even provide a model number for the part (which is also mentioned that they would do in the manual). Horrible product horrible service

    Flawed design creates unacceptable noise

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

    The fridge makes an unacceptable groaning noise when the compressor is on. I recommend a potential buyer conduct an internet search on this issue (it has persisted for years). You'll read others refer to this noise as a mooing sound. That is accurate. It had this noise "out of the box." Very distracting when the refrigerator is in your office or near where you are trying to work or conduct other activities.
