Customer Ratings & Reviews

We’ve been needing a bit more fridge and freezer space but don’t have the space for another full-sized refrigerator, so we decided to get this mini fridge and freezer combo instead. It’s mostly being used for beverage and “long-term” storage of perishables that we don’t go through quickly like condiments and salad dressings as well as occasional temporary storage like desserts and appetizers for gatherings. The outer dimensions are a perfect fit for the corner of the living room where we are using it. The fridge portion gives us an extra 3.1 cu ft while the freezer provides an additional 1.4 cu ft for frozen items. The power cord is around 5 ft long and it weighs just over 60 lbs, so it is not too heavy to move around. The doors have no exterior handles and instead use recessed hand pulls at the bottom and top of the freezer and fridge doors respectively. Out-of-the-box both doors swing open to the right, however, the door hinges are reversible. The unit comes with additional hardware to swap the opening direction which we ended up needing to do, but the instructions for completing this task aren’t well-written, and the illustrations were difficult to decipher as the details in the drawings are miniscule. Just be aware that the screw holes for the left-hand-side foot may be hidden under a layer of insulating foam. The exterior of the fridge has a stainless steel finish on the doors, and the rest is a textured black. All surfaces are magnetic, including the doors, and the two feet at the front corners are adjustable in height for leveling. The fridge compartment has 3 glass shelves and a crisper drawer. The top two shelves are full-length and can occupy 3 possible positions. However, the third shelf is only a half-length as the back half is occupied by the well where collected condensation drains to the exterior. The upper shelves fit snugly into drop-in channels while the half-shelf simply slides forward and back easily within a groove. All the shelves are removable allowing you to customize the heights and number of levels to accommodate your items. Using the crisper drawer ensures that your items are placed far back enough to accommodate the three basket trays on the interior of the door so that it can close. All the baskets are 4” deep and can hold items up to 4”, 13”, and 6.5” tall from top to bottom. The middle basket is perfect for taller items like half-gallon milk and juice jugs, wine bottles, and 12 oz soda bottles. Their heights and placement are fixed but all of them are easily removable. There is a bright white LED on the right side of the fridge behind the temperature controller. The design of the temperature dial is somewhat unusual as it’s settings are 0-3 where ‘0’ is off, then there’s a long gradient up to ‘1,’ a shorter interval to ‘2,’ which is immediately followed by ‘3,’ then settings beyond 3 that doesn’t terminate at a number. I found that when set to ‘3’ the temperature inside the fridge is around 40°F which is the highest food-safe temperature recommended for raw foods like meat and dairy. At the coldest setting, temperatures plunged to 28°F and there was ice along the back wall, so I like to keep the fridge set to the mid-point between the two, somewhere between 34-36°F. Any condensation that remains liquid will eventually run down the back and down into the drain at the bottom of the well, which collects in a drip tray at the back of the fridge. The refrigerator compressor hums only while it is cooling though isn’t very loud. When the target temperature is reached, the compressor shuts off and the unit is silent. The fridge does put out a little heat while running, however, the unit is Energy Star certified with an annual estimated usage of 329 kWh. Overall, this mini fridge and freezer combo is great for small spaces, and folks who don’t need all the space of a full-sized fridge. It works great as a beverage fridge and can accommodate different sized vessels from wine bottles to soda cans, and the adjustable/removable shelves allow you to customize the interior to meet your needs. I found that it cools quickly and is able to reliably reach food-safe temperatures and below.

Works great freezer quickly froze ice cubes the crisper works well and the refrigerator section is adequate in size and everything is cold as it should be.

Was easy to pickup, and started working after plugging in! It fits perfectly in the nook in our basement!

This refrigerator is phenomenal for the price! I bought it for work, and it has been great. The size is perfect, and it keeps everything as cold as ice. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great product at a great price!

Love this fridge! It’s definitely worth its price, the size is just perfect for my room, and has plenty of space on the inside for drinks, leftovers, midnight snacks, and more. I also love how bright the light is!

Great little fridge, get the job done well!! Easy to install, is working great, definitely worth the money. It actually holds a lot!

Frigid fit perfectly where i needed installed. And the space is amazing for extra refrigerator without having to spend a small fortune.

I recently purchased an Insignia Brand T.v and compact fridge..I love the space it creates plus the color and the pice ..the T.V. was a 55 and with fire tv .value was great and i never used fire tv .I was a Hisense girl but this brand teuly lives up the Best Buy i look forward to seeing what else they have to purchase.I have to add more items to my freezer but i love the space inside and outside.

this appliance is good for My Daughter that’s in college. It helps a whole lot in her dorm

I needed a second fridge for the holiday, is a nice looking fridge. The only thing is that the it sweats then it freeze everything. There is no happy medium temperature, even if is in coldest it swats, and on low it sweats. I kept it because I didn't wan't to carry it back to the car. Frisgiair has a better one at a similar price, I found out after I purchase this one.

It’s comfortable and slim, and it doesn’t take up much space. You can place it anywhere in your bedroom or office. It has enough storage space. 100% recommended!

After I got the fridge inside and opened the box, I realize it was dented. It must have been "clamped" above the "don't clamp above line", line. The only option for return was to haul it back in. Giving 3 stars for poor handling and return service policy.

My kitchen's layout is unusual, and there is no way to fit a full-size fridge in the kitchen itself. I had a fridge in the adjoining dining area, but the setup looked "odd," and it was inconvenient having to dart over there to grab things while prepping a meal. I decided to move my existing fridge to the basement for long-term, bulk food storage and pick up this smaller fridge to keep in the kitchen itself. So far, it's working very well for my needs. The fridge keeps food nice and cold. I haven't had any issues with it icing over or being too warm. The temperature settings seem just about perfect. The shelf placement in the fridge portion is a little unfortunate. I had to drop the top shelf down a bracket in order to accommodate standard size water bottles. This wasn't the easiest task to accomplish. The shelves do not move easily. If you want to fit a full gallon size jug of milk or something in this fridge, then you'd have to remove a shelf completely. There is no way that it would fit with the default shelf positioning. The crisper bin is small, but it's "just" large enough to accommodate a head of iceberg lettuce and a couple small bags of baby peeled carrots (though it's a bit of a tight fit). The bins on the door are a decent size, and they seem to hold bottles of salad dressing and the like securely. The freezer is a decent size and has a shelf to separate it into two sections. I was able to easily store my ice cube trays and a couple bags of frozen veggies in it. I with this fridge was just a smidge larger, and I wish that I was able to fit a gallon of milk in it without removing a shelf, but I'm otherwise quite happy with it.

I couldn't be happier with this mini fridge. It cools down quickly, stays consistently cold, and the separate top freezer is a huge bonus. The freezer easily keeps ice, frozen meals, and ice cream solid, while the refrigerator section has plenty of room for drinks, snacks, meal prep containers, and condiments. One of the things that impressed me most is how quiet it is. Once it reaches temperature, I barely notice it's running, making it perfect for a bedroom, office, garage, or apartment. The stainless steel look gives it a clean, modern appearance that fits in almost anywhere, and the overall build quality feels much better than I expected for the price. The adjustable shelves and door storage make it easy to organize everything without wasting space. The ENERGY STAR certification is another nice bonus since it helps keep power usage low without sacrificing performance. If you're looking for a compact refrigerator that actually performs like a full-size unit, this is an excellent choice. Great value, reliable cooling, quiet operation, and more storage than you'd expect. I'd definitely buy it again.

Cold and quiet with a surprisingly spacious freezer! The bottom refrigerator compartment is about the size of a classic mini fridge, but I was happy to find the freezer was larger than I anticipated. I’m used to them being more like a glove compartment when it comes to compact fridges, but this one can comfortably fit a bunch of tubs of ice cream and frozen dinners. Temperature is controlled by a singular knob in the refrigerator section, which also does a good job keeping things cool. I haven’t had any issues with frost or leaks, but those kinds of issues usually don’t surface until about a year or so. So far so good! It’s a pretty basic refrigerator with freezer that’s perfect for a private room or secondary fridge. Outside of keeping things cool, the best part might be how quiet it is. I almost never hear the thing running and even when it does it’s barely noticeable. While the finish isn’t real stainless steel, it captures the hue well and at least it’s not a magnet for fingerprints. The silver and black colorway gives it a somewhat modern look and should blend in most decors. Overall, it’s a good looking fridge that stays cold, is super quiet, and is energy star efficient. I can’t find much of anything to complain about. Great job, Insignia! PROS - Looks good, blends with most decor - Silver doesn’t attract fingerprints - Quiet operation - Fridge and freezer regulates temps well - Freezer surprisingly spacious - Glass shelving - Reversible doors - Relatively light - Energy Star certified CONS - None

Product failed within 3 days and I returned for a refund

I got this fridge because my daughter is hogging up our main fridge with pet foods and supplies. This gives her own little spot in her room to keep all her pet stuff and even snacks if she needs. There's plenty of space and the fridge keeps everything as cool as you need. To get an idea of the size, picture a mini-fridge and then put a small cube mini-fridge on top and you basically have the size of the 4.5 CU unit. Bigger than a mini, but not as large as a full size fridge. Noise is pretty low, but it's hard to really tell with the fans in room. The main fridge does have two LED lights so you can see what's in the fridge, but the freezer doesn't, but I think that's normal for most regular units also. If my daughter didn't need it I'd be putting this nice unit upstairs to keep a stash of drinks, snacks, and microwavable meals for when we feel too lazy to run downstairs when we have a little hankering for a quick snack. Seriously thinking that I need to go ahead and by another unit since they're priced well.

This little fridge is a perfect size for our basement Hangout. It's got a separate freezer that keeps that ice from backing up and getting the whole thing mucked up with ice. The fridge bottom part is quite large and has nice storage in the doors that you can put a half gallon of milk in easily we like to keep our coffee stuff there so we can enjoy coffee when we're having our nightwatch of TV down in the basement

I purchased the Insignia 4.5 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge to use in my camper, and it has been an excellent investment. I wanted something compact but spacious enough to hold drinks, snacks, and camping essentials, and this refrigerator has exceeded my expectations. The separate top freezer is one of my favorite features. Unlike many mini fridges, the freezer actually keeps items frozen properly, making it perfect for ice, frozen meals, and treats while we’re traveling. The refrigerator section offers plenty of room and is well organized, with adjustable shelves that make it easy to customize the space. I also love the stainless steel look. It gives the fridge a clean, modern appearance that fits perfectly in our camper. Another huge plus is how quietly it runs. It keeps everything consistently cold without being noisy, which is important in a smaller living space. Thanks to its ENERGY STAR certification, I don’t have to worry about it being inefficient either. So far, it has worked excellently in our camper and has been exactly what we were looking for. It provides plenty of storage, reliable cooling, and a functional freezer without taking up too much space. If you’re looking for a mini fridge for a camper, RV, dorm, office, or small apartment, I highly recommend this model. It’s reliable, efficient, and well worth the purchase. I would definitely buy it again and give it 5 stars.

I am very satisfied with this Insignia 4.5 cu. ft. refrigerator. The stainless-steel finish looks modern and clean, and the size is perfect for small apartments or bedrooms. The freezer on top gets cold quickly, and the fridge section keeps food fresh for a long time. It runs quietly and doesn’t take up much space. For the price, the quality is excellent. Highly recommended!
