The Insignia 7.2 Cubic Ft Top-Freezer Refrigerator is the perfect size in between a mini-fridge and a full size refrigerator with the convenience of a standard 115V plug. I have the perfect place upstairs in our family/playroom area.
- Unboxing -
The refrigerator is ready to go right out of the box. Be careful with the top corners, they can be damaged if not handled correctly. The 115V cord is tucked neatly into the back of the fridge and the glass shelves are protected well inside.
- Design/Build -
The design is clever. The refrigerator opens from left to right, but if you want to switch it, they give you instructions on how to do so. It has a classic stainless steel look with black on the sides. There are two wheels that help it roll along the floor and you can adjust the balance/height slightly in the front to accommodate your floors.
There's one shelf in the freezer and no light. The refrigerator has two internal glass shelves and one fruit and vegetable drawer at the bottom. They feel like good quality and are easy to adjust up and down as needed. There are two small shelves in the door and one larger shelf with more depth. I measured the usable freezer space at about 16" wide x 14.5" deep x 10.5 tall. The usable refrigerator space at 36" tall by about 16.5" in depth by 18" wide. It weighs about 80 pounds and is easy to carry for two people.
- Performance -
This unit requires manual defrosting, but after several days the freezer looks good with no distinct levels of frost. The refrigerator did have a noticeable layer of frost starting to build up on the back wall. This is more likely to happen when warm air enters the unit, leaving the door open, or if you have something blocking the air outlets. Most importantly, I put a thermometer in the fridge and it consistently stayed at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. You can set the temperature of the refrigerator with a button and 4 LED indicator lights. If you long press the temperature button for 3 seconds it will "Super Cool" the refrigerator and indicate with LEDs 1 and 2 coming on simultaneously. A 6 second long press will super freeze the freezer and indicate by LEDs 3 and 4 coming on simultaneously. This is good if you are preparing to load up the refrigerator or freezer for the first time. The unit is also very quiet. I measured it around 42 decibels. The doors are largely fingerprint resistant. I have two small kids that have tested it thoroughly.
- Pros/Cons -
-Pros-
- Operates on a standard 115V wall plug
- Energy Star Certified (Approx $48/yr)
- Reversible Door
- Glass Shelves
- Plenty of Refrigerator Space
- LED Lighting
-Cons-
- Manual Defrosting
- No Freezer Light
- Needs a couple of adjustable levels in the door
This is a great value for a refrigerator/freezer in an extra room. I found it to be perfect for our upstairs Family/Play room. It performs well, operates quietly, and has a ton of space. Even though it's not perfect, I'll give it 5 stars for some exceptional features and consistent performance. I highly recommend it!

MINI FRIDGE, BUT NOT REALLY!!!
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This refrigerator was an upgrade for me from a 3.3 cubic feet mini fridge that i had in my office.
There were a few reasons why i had upgraded from my 3.3 to a 7.2 cubic feet. First of all was the stainless steel look, yes, its not actual stainless steel, but it still looks much better than my plain old white mini fridge. The second, is the amount of space this one had to offer. It features a 1.5 cubic feet freezer compartment and a 5.7 cubic feet refrigerator compartment, honestly this is almost as a big as a normal size refrigerator, offering plenty of room for anything. The refrigerator offers 3 glass shelves, a crisper drawer and full width door bins.
This mini fridge is the perfect size for small kitchens and even to serve as a backup refrigerator for excess items. Also, on the inside you have a bright LED light and push button temperature control.
Lastly, the reason i decided to go with the insignia brand refrigerator is because based on experience, they are built to last. I have owned multiple insignia appliances and they yet to die out on me and they are priced right. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a mini fridge thats not actually mini.

Great as an Over-flow Fridge
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was in the market for a larger "over-flow" fridge for the basement and the Insignia 7.2 Cu. Ft. Mini fridge with top freezer checked all the boxes. We had another mini fridge but it was slightly smaller and didn't have a separate freezer, which meant every year I would have to unplug it and melt all of the ice off the coils on the inside - this was a massive pain. This insignia has the freezer and fridge separate so there's zero maintenance.
PROs:
1) Weight - This fridge is much lighter than I expected. I would still recommend two people to move this, but my wife and I were able to get it into our basement with no issues.
2) Features - While this isn't the most feature rich mini fridge, it does have sturdy glass shelves and a crisper drawer at the bottom. The fridge does have a bright LED light but the top freezer does not.
3) Separate Freezer - This feature is ideal for those who want a larger mini fridge without having to maintain an ice mass every year. The back wall of the fridge does collect condensation but there is a drain in the bottom that allows excess water to collect and evaporate under the fridge.
CONs:
1) Packaging - The outer packaging is not very robust. My fridge arrive damaged but it did not bother us because we were putting it in the back room of our basement. If you plan to keep this fridge in an area where appearance matters, I would recommend picking it up from the store.
2) Too Cold - Because the coils run up the back of the fridge, Items that are close to the back have a tendency to freeze. This is not really an issue for us but I can see where people might get upset having to keep things 2-3 inches from the back - this can render a good amount of space useless.
Aside from shipping damage and frozen beers at the back of the fridge, this Insignia mini fridge with top freezer worked out perfectly for our family. We are a family of 5 and our counter depth fridge in the kitchen sometimes isn't enough - if this sounds like you, this mini fridge is the perfect over-flow solution.

Quiet, Small Footprint and Plenty of Storage.

For the last week, I've been testing out the Insignia 7.2 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Top Freezer. Overall, I like it. It's a great mini fridge with lots of capacity and a small footprint.
Setup was easy. Moving the fridge from my garage to my basement was a two-person job but not a heavy lift. The dimensions are perfect for fitting through just about any doorway or staircase. From there, I plugged it into the wall to turn it on.
The refrigerator features 4 cooling levels. In my use, the third setting was enough to quietly and quickly cool the refrigerator to the perfect temperature. There are two glass shelves that can be repositioned based on my needs; however, it could fit a third shelf. Each shelf can easily fit 28 cans, and the top shelf easily fits 28 12-ounce bottles. There's also a good-sized crisper for storing veggies or more drinks, and three shelves on the door for storing butter, eggs, tall bottles, or—in my case—more drinks.
The only drawback was that there was condensation building in the back of the refrigerator compartment. It's not a big deal, but just something to mention.
I'll end by saying I would probably recommend picking it up at the store or getting professional delivery. The protective packaging didn't do the best job of protecting its cargo. The inside of the fridge was securely protected by some tape and foam. However, the exterior was protected with cardboard and flimsy styrofoam. Mine was shipped via FedEx, and they dented a few of the corners. Luckily, the damage was on the back of the fridge and didn't affect the functionality.
With that said, I would recommend this refrigerator for anyone needing a small footprint, plenty of storage, and silent operation.

Perfect Size and Efficient
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve been really pleased with this fridge overall. The size is perfect, spacious enough to hold plenty without taking up too much room. It’s also low cost to run, which makes it budget-friendly in the long term. (less than $50/yr) The interior light is bright and useful, and the controls are simple and easy to adjust push button style. The temperatures are perfect right at the default setting, so there’s no need to fuss with adjustments.
On the downside, I did notice a small ripple at the bottom of the freezer door (cosmetic issue, but worth mentioning). I also wish it came with one more shelf, since that would make organizing cans and smaller items much easier. The bottom drawer also simply slides on the bottom, so no side rails to ride on. Does the job, just unusual.
That said, I’ve always had long-term luck with Insignia products, and this fridge continues that trend. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a reliable, energy-efficient mini fridge with a freezer. A few minor design tweaks would make it perfect, but I’m happy with the purchase.

Even knowing the dimensions, the fridge aspect was bigger than I expected. Three adjustable glass shelves with plenty of space and multiple rows on the door for various cans and bottles. The freezer is a touch smaller than I'd assume compared to the rest but still decent for odds and ends. Comes with 4 different temperature settings for the bottom in a little dial on the inside, has a light making it easy to rummage around in any time of day without needing to turn on another light making it very convenient

I purchased this refrigerator to use in a breakroom at my worksite. Getting a household size refrigerator would have been a huge waste of money: The unit is much larger than I anticipated and is perfect for storing daily lunches for the employees on our security and cleaning team.

Purchased this refrigerator to replace a 23cuft that was in the garage. We needed a smaller one to allow more space in the garage. This refrigerator is perfect for our needs. The refrigerator keeps water, and soda. The small freezer perfect size for extra frozen foods.

Overall a decent smaller fridge but there is a hump that is in the back bottom shelf that hinders from putting anything there without it being pushed forward.
