Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this mini fridge. I have owned other mini fridges in the past, however, none with a top freezer. My family and I were able to store a 13lb turkey in the fridge until we were able to cook it for the holiday. Also, like that when you open the door, to the right, your able to store additional items. We took it upon our selves to place milk, seltzer waters, and sodas to the right and also our butter. On the shelfs we placed containers of salad, and other foods let overs. In the bottom tray we placed some of our fruits. The freezer does a great job with freezing ice cream. Our family tends to like to snack on icecream bars, sandwiches, and more. I love the height of this mini fridge. The outside exterior has a clean slinder look. It is not bulky. The refrigerator is also not too heavy, as I had been wondering if it would be difficult to position in the space that we placed it yet. I forgot to mention that the refrigerator does have lights inside so that you can see at night what your looking for. Overall I am greatly pleased and glad to test this product. I highly recommend this fridge if your looking for something for your apartment, home, college dorm, etc. Pros: Not Heavy Can store a lot of items Multiple spaces to place items Slim and not Bulky Cons: None at this time and yes I would recommend to a friend. I like the Insignia brands.

I got this fridge to keep in my garage as a second fridge and freezer for the house. I didn't want a full size fridge as it would be too big, this is the perfect size for my needs. Unboxing and setup with easy, though there was a lot of plastic to remove inside and outside of the fridge. I plugged it in and waited a day to start putting things in. It’s easy to regulate the temperature and the unit seems well made and sturdy. I started filling it up with bottles of water, cans of soda and some adult beverages. Our freezer in the kitchen was starting to overflow with items we just weren't using so i put those in this freezer and it freed up a lot of space. I don’t need this fridge to hold large items, we rarely host dinners and what not here. It’s simply some extra space. The fridge and freezer have been keeping everything at the right temperature and working as it should. It’s also very quiet which is an added bonus. I am very happy with this insignia fridge, its a great alternative in the garage and would be perfect in home bars, dorm rooms or anywhere else you need a small but mighty fridge and freezer.

The Insignia 4.5cu ft mini fridge was well packed and delivered with no damage. The stainless finish looks good. It's a little bigger than a ‘typical’ minifridge, this Insignia has a separate freezer with its own door. The front corner feet on the bottom are adjustable so you can level the fridge on uneven floors. After the recommended 4hr wait time before powering up, I plugged the unit in and loaded it up with beverages for the garage. I also put a fridge thermometer in there and it didn’t take long for the fridge to cool down to about 34deg. Another thing I did notice, or should I say didn’t notice, was noise. The compressor runs quiet and I couldn’t even tell when it was running. Not really a prerequisite for my use in the garage, but if you were going to use this in a dorm room or bedroom you shouldn’t hear it. One important note from the manual, this fridge is meant to be installed freestanding in the open and requires 5” open space on the rear and sides. You can’t push it up tight against the wall and tight between cabinets like they are in many kitchens. It comes with the hardware to reverse the door swing if needed and there is interior lighting to help find your favorite drinks. A couple other notes, the freezer door has an extra ‘latch’ when closing. Hard to explain but when closing the fridge door, it pushes closed with the same force until the magnetic seals grab and hold the door shut. With the freezer, right before the door is closed, there is an extra ‘catch’ that requires a little extra force to get past before the magnetic seals close. Not a deal breaker by any means, just something to be aware of. The lowest glass shelf (above the crisper drawer) has nothing holding it back and keeping it from sliding out the front. If you have oversized items in the crisper drawer, the glass shelf could pull out with the drawer. All the other glass shelves are locked in place. One last note. After running the fridge for a couple weeks, we noticed the carton of ice cream in the freezer was soft. I put a fridge/freezer thermometer in the freezer for a few days, checked it a few times and found it between 15 and 25 degrees and the ice cream was still soft despite the thermostat being turned up colder than the 3 mark, and the fridge reading around 34 every time I checked. Definitely not as cold as the freezer in our kitchen which runs at 0 deg F. Technically the freezer is at freezing temperatures but not as cold as I think it should be. Despite these couple quirks this Insignia 4.5cu ft fridge fits well at its price point and gets 4 stars (deducting 1 for the soft ice cream).

Plenty of room. Perfect for both. Increasing short time and refrigerating. Small items.
