    Fighting Multiple Sclerosis With A Minifridge

    I've had this fridge for about a month, and it works great. I bought it with a specific purpose in mind and with a specific amount of storage needed. This fulfills both of my needs and really changed my life for the better. I broke down everything there is about it into 3 main categories: Rating, Purpose, and Pros/Cons. Rating and reason for star knockdown: I give this mini fridge a 4.5 out of 5 (rounded down to 4). It came in great shape, no dents or issues that I saw in most complaints, but I also had it delivered directly from the store to the 2nd floor bedroom where it now lives. The 0.5 star markdown I gave it is due to a minor issue with the bottom of the freezer where the cooling coil likes to pop up a bit. It still cools properly and although it looks like the drawer wont close properly, it does, especially once you've closed the door. So there are no physical issues with this product, just one minor gripe about it not being "perfect". Purpose of this minifridge: This minifridge was bought for a bedroom in order to store cool drinks and ice packs in close proximity to my bed as I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and cannot regulate my own temperature well. As a result I overheat often, and going downstairs to obtain ice packs and cool beverages often makes it worse rather than better. Having the cool items practically at my fingertips has been a gamechanger in my daily life. I intend to store water and sodas in the fridge, with ice packs and otter pops in the freezer. I do not have a ice vest yet however so I have a decent amount of ice cream in the section intended for the ice vest. I do not intend to store any perishables in the refrigerator section, and aside from some ice cream the same holds true for the freezer. This is in part because of the items I plan to store within it on a regular basis and in part to cover for the potential of it breaking, or power outages, etc. Pros and Cons: Pros: - It has lots of space, quite a bit more than I was expecting which made me extremely happy since I can hold more beverages in it. I usually store about 24 (16.9 fl oz) water bottles, 4 mini cranberry juice (10 fl oz) bottles, 12 (12 fl oz) sprite cans, 11 (12 fl oz) coke cans, and a fridge-n-freezer box of baking soda inside the refrigerator section. I have not used the drawer at all and I have all of the top section of the door itself empty expect for the baking soda box. At current (as shown in the picture) I replaced some water for some gatorade and a large cranberry juice due to the heat outside. Usually I have water there, so take that into account when looking at the number of water bottles I generally store. I have no restocked the coke cans recently, but I have noticed that I can comfortably fit 24 cans of soda on that row, not 24. - It barely makes a sound aside from the first 10-40 seconds of startup. In fact it is so quiet I thought it broke, only to realize it is simply quiet outside of the initial startup. - It doesn't warm up my bedroom, which already gets hot from a gaming PC (more on this in the cons). Cons: - You will get a little frost buildup in the back of the refrigerator, but this isn't really that bad. Just be mindful of how often and how long you open either the fridge or freezer and it will not be an issue at all. If anything, it is there because that is the area where the cold air from the freezer comes in. - The bottom drawer of the freezer is hard to get stuff out of if you have it completely full or if you have big items in it unless you pull it completely out. For me this isn't much of a con since I made a habit of taking the drawers out if it is going to take me more than 5-10 seconds to grab an item. This helps prevent frost buildup in the long run. - There is no light in the freezer, but it isn't really that necessary unless you plan to open and close it frequently. If you plan to do this I urge you to get a proper full sized fridge/freezer unit. - The sides of the unit get warm every so often as it cools items or continues to keep the items cooled off. This is normal, and unless you have it close to walls you shouldn't notice a difference in your room temperature at all. I personally keep about 3 inches on the left, 2.5-3 on the right side, and 7 inches on the backside from the surrounding walls and objects. This negated the heat issue I have seen other people have with any minifridge. - If you or someone else accidently leaves either the fridge or freezer open you are likely to get frost buildup and a huge influx of heat into your minifridge. This happened to me recently, and it created some frost. I believe I caught it fairly quickly but was not home at the time it was left open. It is important to be careful with closing it all of the way. End result: Overall I love this minifridge, and it is very much fulfilling its intended purpose in making my life with a debilitating health condition much easier. BUT it works because I took my needs into account just as much as the capacity and capabilities of this specific minifridge. When deciding to buy this product you should consider how often you plan to open it, what you want to store, and why this size rather than a larger or smaller unit. Those will be key in how well it works for you. If I had room for a second one, I would consider getting one just for snacks but alas I only have room for the 1.

    My wife and I love the new fridge it’s definitely a quality upgrade from the normal small ice box we had in our room. It’s super light weight too and has so much space. I love how the freezer is on the bottom it will make it so much easier and less messy when it’s time to defrost it. Plus I encourage you to become a Best Buy plus total membership ($180 a year) which sounds like a lot but it covered apple care for my apple products I bought this year ( air pod pro max, 2 6th gen iPad minis for our kids and I upgraded from my iPad Pro 11 in to the new 12 in pro ) and what surprised me was even the ice box is covered all for two years plus you get extra discounts on different items, free shipping and discount with geek squad… I’m updating all my apple products from them now for sure lol if they sold groceries I’d be there every day. The apple care alone sold me now I gotta buy the wife a iPad mini too so I’ll be back soon. Thank you Best Buy and crew! Side note my wife regrets rushing to buy her iPad from target for the points although she won’t actually say it out loud around me lol Best Buy FTW!

    It's actually really quiet really nice a little smaller than what it appears to be in a picture but I do like that the freezers in the bottom so one of my favorite parts but for a fifth wheeler it's actually perfect. If you're a drinker and drink beer this might not be the right size for you it'll probably hose to 16 oz six packs or you can buy cold cuts then will be perfect. I put it in my fifth wheeler and build a frame around it it actually looks like it comes with the fifth wheeler

    I needed a new fridge from my new place. I didn’t have a way to haul a normal size fridge. This one is perfect for me. The size is great and it is well organized and the freezer space is awesome. It cools perfectly!

    This is a fantastic personal fridge. The freezer is a door opening and thus would be difficult to get things in and out of, except the genius who designed it put three drawers in it. Voila, easy to see and grab things. the fridge part i waist and chest level so you can see exactly what is in there and actually reach it with no problem. I have this in my room and because I have carpet we had to put a couple of small pieces of wood under it (see picture) so that the freezer door could open easier.

    Very happy with the purchase so far, will update if things change. Needed a part time fridge while i emptied out my main fridge to give it a deep clean, to my surprise i was able to save a good amount of groceries than i thought. It cooled within 4 hours of being plugged in, all the shelves and drawers seem of good quality, the lighting is great also. It fit so well in the spot i placed it that we decided to keep it in the house as our kids personal fridge. Like it so much i may just buy another for the garage

    Product arrived safe and sound with not a scratch or dent on it. I was concerned by some of the other reviews, but I was pleased with just how well packaged it was. Nothing was left unsecured or free to rattle around. Actual performance has been fantastic. I keep mine set at 3. The fridge keeps things cold and the freezer keeps things solidly frozen. I purchased some mochi as a 'sacrificial test' and when I pulled them out they were hard as rock. I'm actually very impressed with the design - it's built to be energy efficient. The freezer is segregated into drawers, with cooling racks between them. Most people are probably familiar with the 'cold air is heavier than warm air' etc. So every time you open your freezer door, all the cold air comes spilling out, essentially, almost like a liquid. The drawers are set up so that the the cold air is preserved like baskets. Opening the freezer door causes no significant drop in temperature, which means less work for the unit to maintain the temperature. I keep mine set at 3, but one thing you DO want to be careful of, is that while you *can* set the fridge 'above' 3, all that does is make it run constantly. I don't recommend this. You'll wear it out and it won't get any colder, and frankly doesn't really need to in my experience. Just keep it at 3 and let it do its thing. The unit is very well insulated. I've not noticed any room heating from it running. In addition, the unit is quiet. I've seen a few reviews complaining about noise. Frankly, it's so quiet it barely even counts as white noise. I've been keeping frozen dinners and deserts in it, along with drinks and food in the upper fridge part. It's spacious. Frankly, I was a little surprised at the size. It's not your average mini-fridge that does 'psuedo cooling' with a fan or anything like that. It's basically a regular fridge shrunken down. I've had no issues. I'll update this review if there are any, but thus far I'm very happy with it. It's the perfect size for me.

    Compartment freezer at the bottom Solves problems!

    This is the best I thought freezer on the bottom was just trying to be trendy but it allows you to put the compressor in the freezer compartment and allows the refrigerator compartment to be a cubed shape and hold more! Something much important is that items do not fall out of the freezer and onto the floor. The other models do that and there is nothing that can stop it. The other manufacturers won't tell you that there freezer can't be filled up but . It is also colder than any fridge /freezer I have owned and it a mini , this 4.9 cubic is next level! has a tremendous three compartment freezer 100% usuable with a separate slide in drawer for ice cube tray, which is actually frozen beyond any levels that you'll ever hope in a freezer!

    Nice compact refrigerator/freezer. Big enough to accommodate slightly larger items. Love the large size freezer with drawers at $249 it’s a very good deal. Mine arrived dent/damage free thankfully.

    It’s a normal modern fridge scaled down, it looks very good and has the best freezer in a mini fridge out there! If you get this shipped expect dents, they have gotten better about packaging these but I still got one right on the top back corner but you would never notice it, I was able to get 10% of the price back to me so the dent ended up actually helping me out. Also the “recommended” cold setting is not that cold, don’t get me wrong this fridge can get extremely cold and even freeze your drinks if you wanted it to, just don’t keep it on the recommended and keep it on the 3 setting.

    This mini fridge is perfect in size and function. The freezer section is big enough for ice cream, ice trays, and more. The top holds more than a case of soda, as well as liter size water bottles in the door. We’re very happy with this purchase and would buy again.

    Works well but had a dent in the upper door when we took it out of the box. Unfortunately, we hadn't unboxed it prior to driving to campus and the boxed refrigerator had already been carried up 3 flights of stairs into my son's dorm room when we realized it was damaged. There was no damage to the shipping box. So, now we have a brand new refrigerator with a dent.

    One can’t tell by looking online exactly what their getting. I was pleasantly surprised how well it looks and works just like a full size Refrigerator. A little pricey for a mini. The freezer keeps ice frozen as well as ice cream and other freezer items. The refrigerator is spacious enough to meets our love one needs in the skilled facility. Pop, water, juice, pudding, gelatin, jelly, fruit and veggies.

    Bigger than I thought, but still a good size for my cubicle. I try to bike to work at least a couple days each week, and this lets me keep food/drink stock at work rather than packing them on my bike. The recommended setting of 2 is still quite cold. Some of my drinks at the back of the fridge partially froze, and a tray of small ice will freeze in a couple hours.
