    Love this mini fridge!
    I got my mini fridge yesterday & set it up in my kids church room. I read a lot of reviews where people said they received this fridge & it was dented or damaged in some way. My fridge arrived in perfect condition. It was packaged well not only in two boxes but surrounded by very thick styrofoam as well. This fridge is the perfect size & so far it seems to be keeping my sodas & waters cold. I'm pretty impressed with the amount of space inside too. I plan on filling it up to capacity. So far, so good.

    Fantastic fridge, fits perfectly in my room and the temperatures are really cold. At the coldest setting liquids will start to freeze. It can hold a whole lot of cans, bottles, containers etc. The price point is outstanding, it really is a steal for a high quality product. This is extremely quiet, I keep it near my computer which itself has quiet fans, and even those can't let me hear it. It's actually silent in this situation.

    The only problem I have is the reversible door. It came opening from the left side, which happened to be the opposite of what I needed. To swap which way it opens you have to unscrew a total of 10 screws to move everything around, which isn't too hard but can be bothersome. Other than that, I've had no issues. If you need a mini fridge this is the one you want.

    I bought this little fridge to put in our master bedroom's little en-suite half bath. There are probably a ton of similar models but I really like this one after having used it for over a year. The door organizer is nice for bottled water and there's a surprising amount of space in there because it doesn't have a freezer. The shelves are adjustable, sturdy and fit well. Runs quiet, doesn't seem to leak at all, has generally been super reliable.

    Great little fridge that we use in our travel trailer. I like that it is frost free and holds a fair amount of food. Runs very quite and is of excellent quality. I'm not overly fond of the can rack and would of rather of had door shelves. Have been using it for a couple of months.

    We have issues in the community break room fridge, so I wanted a personal one. This arrived quickly and slid under my desk in my work cubicle (check your measurements carefully, the amazon ad includes different sizes/models that have different measurements!) Storage is sufficient for 1-2 people. I like to stock up weekly on drinks, yogurt cups, creamer, fruit and cheese snacks, etc in addition to bringing my lunch daily. This has room for it all. Only complaint is the temperature control is on the top/back corner so you literally have to crawl under the desk or pull the unit out to adjust. For something obviously intended to fit under a desk you would think the manufacturer would make that more accessible.

    I work in the restaurant industry and I have multiple fridge and freezer thermometers and they are calibrated. My wife and I purchased this to hold breast milk for our kid, so food safety is critical there.

    Upon arrival we basically needed to keep it set to the coldest setting possible to hold a safe temp.

    Less than one year later, I can't even use it as a beverage fridge for some beers because not only cannot it not keep food safe, but it can't keep beer or wine at a cold enough temperature for drinking.

    Do not buy this! There was no damage to the box it arrived in; everything looked new and ready to go. There is no reason why this should not be working. We originally contacted Amazon and were told the manufacturer would be getting back to us, which they never did. Too much time has passed now to do something about it and that's our fault (kids are time vampires, FYI), but I'm still upset about it and want people to know.

    It can't even hold 50F reliably. This is useless.

    Works well enough.

    Pro:
    1) Is just short enough to fit under my desk at work, unlike most fridges this size which are an inch or two too tall to fit.
    2) Is fridge only, no wasted space on a freezer that wouldn't work well anyway.
    3) Decent can holder design on the door. It's a pleasant kind with a slot for individual cans instead of the sleeve that you fill at the top and remove from the bottom like other fridges have.

    Cons:
    1) Bottom shelf design is subpar, so I knocked off a star.
    2) The door doesn't seem to close well or be weighted to stay closed well. Once or twice I've come back to find it slightly open so now I have to be extra conscious that when I close it it closes fully.
