So cute and compact and it keeps beverages and food very cold. The refrigerator is really helpful because I had foot surgery and I am unable to go up and down the stairs. It’s perfect :)!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice fridge with that retro look. I like the size of this one over the smaller cubes. The footprint is the same as the cubes but this has quite a bit more space. I also like NOT having a freezer. It makes things simpler and gives you more interior storage space. The retro look is a nice touch and even includes a bottle opener on the left side.

My wife is a school teacher and needed a small refrigerator for her classroom. she's only had it for a month but so far she is very happy with this unit. Here are the Pros/Cons:
Pros:
-Tiffany blue and semi-retro (she's into that). She likes the bottle opener attachment but will probably never use it. You do not have to install it.
-Quiet running (a must for her classroom)
-No freezer unit, which means no defrost/dripping problems and extra room for other refrigerated things)
-Glass shelves adjustable to some degree
-Temperature seems to hold well
Cons:
-Door handle is just for looks. It's a solid piece of plastic with no articulating parts. Functional but cheap.
-Limited inner-door space. You can fit soda cans or mustard bottles but taller or thicker items like bottles will need to lay down on a shelf which means you'd better be sure you've screwed the cap on well (lesson learned).
All-in-all, very happy with the purchase.

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! Stores her pop, water and guinea pig food! Just wish the handle wasn't made out of plastic but other than that, it's perfect.

This fridge fits a surprising amount for being so small. Although the description says there is a freezer, there is not, it is just fridge space. I actually think that makes it better than other mini fridges I had in the past, since there is no freezing/thawing there are no leaks. It is also SUPER quiet. My only negative is that the bottle opener was somewhat difficult to attach, and feels a bit flimsy. But you could just leave it off. Would definitely recommend.

Description/sizes/photos on website are not accurate. Does not have a freezer and space on bottom is limited by the compressor. Handle is cheap plastic and keeps popping out of place. Would have bought an alternate if known. However does look retro and cools good. I do like the longer cord. I do wish it had the freezer space as advertised for ice cubes.

Bought this mini fridge for just water and pop, space in the fridge is nice however we only have the temperature set to about 4.5/5 and our cans of pop and bottles of water keep freezing. Also wish the door handle was actual metal and functional like a retro fridge, instead it is made of plastic and feels pretty cheap. Over all it is a pretty good little fridge.

This mini fridge is so cute. I use it at work and everyone notices it because of the color. The price was great as well. Plus it has a bonus bottle opener to mount on the side.

Works well and good size. Cool color as well. Only thing is the door is rather weak and easily dented.

Unfortunately the door was dented, but the 14 year old who was so thrilled with a fridge for her room was defiant in returning! She loves the look, the (OMG) glass shelves. Best gift ever....but as the purchaser, wish it had arrived with no damage.

The fridge itself is excellent and perfect for a game room, office, garage, etc. 3 stars is because it arrived damaged. Just enough to irritate but not enough to go through packing it back up and trekking it back to the post or to the nearest BestBuy. Personally I love the color too

Great little beer frig. It'll hold at least 48-12oz. cans, plus a little more. I've set mine a tiny bit below 3, and the beers are nicely chilled. I've noticed a little frost building up on the back wall, but I don't consider it an issue. Wow, I'm thinking if you turned it really down, it might temporarily serve as a small freezer in an emergency.
