Terriffic Small Fridge . . . especially for storing meds!!

Jul 2024 REPLACEMENT REVIEW: I ordered the exact same fridge, but the blue model. Delivery was on time, but upside down. This is NOT the same product that I had previously, but none of the changes impact functionality for my intended use, namely: -The outside of the 2021 red fridge was smooth and shiny. This 2024 blue fridge has a textured, grime collecting surface for the box, but a much preferred shiny door. -Note that the top product images show different inside door styles from the rest of this website. My 2021 red fridge had wire shelving; this one has plastic. Either should work just fine, but note that the plastic soda holders have holes in the bottom of each holder. Laying the meds down covers the hole. -2021 red version lacked an interior light; this one has a light. -2021 red freezer door was solid plastic; 2024 blue is vented plastic. Based upon other reviews, this newer style results in colder top shelf and warmer bottom of fridge temps. I haven't had it long enough to test. I hope that the new one, like the old one, does NOT freeze my meds. -2021 red freezer came with a mini ice cube tray. The freezer made ice just fine. 2024 blue model lacks an ice cube tray. -2021 red maintained refrigerator temperatures, per my thermometer. 2024 seems adequately cold; I haven't unpacked my thermometer yet. -2021 red had a shorter cord than the 2024 blue fridge. -2021 red had a thin plastic film on the fridge that made it look like the fridge was badly scratched. 2024 blue had no plastic film or bag wrapping it. -BOTH DELIVERIES were fine. No damage to boxes or refrigerators. Even though this 2024 blue fridge is NOT what I expected, it should still store my meds without a problem. IF young children were using this, then I'd prefer the wire shelving because plastic breaks too easily. That said, I bought trays to hold my meds in the door because they slipped under the wire and fell out. I do like the colors of both the red and the blue refrigerators. Apr 2024 UPDATE: I gave this away when I moved (advertised it as not working, ideal for a tinkerer); it worked when the recipient plugged it in. Apparently this was an electrical issue at my apartment, so I moved this back to five stars. Dec 2023 EDIT: It is dead. It worked for 2 1/2 years. Feb 2022 EDIT: This product was delivered in June 2021. It's now Feb 2022 and my lovely red refrigerator is still doing a fantastic job!!! I ordered this to keep my refrigerated meds cold without taking up space in my kitchen refrigerator or having the meds packaging absorb food odors. I also store beverages in it to take my oral meds. The door can hold one 2 quart bottle, or two 1 quart bottles, but not a 3 quart bottle. A 3 quart bottle fits lying down on the middle shelf. I don't happen to store beverage cans in it, so I cannot comment on that. My thermometer confirms that this product keeps within a normal range of refrigerated temps properly. This is important for my meds. Note that a number of reviews complain about scratches all over the exterior. This problem is resolved by removing the thin plastic film from the outside of the refrigerator. Tada!!! No scratches! Note that it is NOT frost-free. Plan to defrost every 4 to 6 weeks. Simply remove products from the refrigerator and place a couple of kitchen towels on the top shelf. Unplug for an hour or two. Wipe down the interior and the freezer drip tray. Plug in and return items to the refrigerator. I don't use the freezer section. I opted not to install the bottle opener. I tend to open the refrigerator using the finger indentations conveniently molded into the top of the door, so I cannot comment on the durability o the handle. However, the handle does match the style of Frigidaires from my youth. Delivery was much earlier than scheduled. I had to scramble to get someone to take it indoors because it arrived a week early and I was out of town. I had selected the slowest delivery available. Note that delivery is an AMAZON issue, NOT a manufacturer, seller, or shipper issue. I would absolutely buy this again for myself or a gift!

Love it!!!

Love! Everything that I hoped it would be. After reading many reviews of this make and model, I initially had buyers remorse because I was concerned with some of the reviews. I worried for nothing. 1. Delivery was extremely fast and arrived to my home earlier than the estimated delivery date. Which I was thrilled with. 2. The fridge was packaged to perfection. Not a ding anywhere. Every corner and/or delicate area on the fridge was reinforced with Styrofoam, and the shelving inside were taped so that they stayed in place during transport. 3. It is quiet. I am not sure why people had said it was loud. It's so quiet that I have literally had to check to see if it was on or not. 4. It holds so much!! My favorite drink is Bonsai. Basically, it comes in a size of a soda can. This fridge holds at least 32 cans on the second shelf, plus 3 bottles of Snapple tea, 24 slim cans on the top shelf (Alani Nu's, Celsius, Sanpellgrino type cans, plus 6 cans (Olipops, Bloom, Poppi, etc.) on the door, the bottom shelf on the door, holds 9 chobani yogurt cups, the 2 small shelves hold, snacks of any sort. The bottom portion (bottom of fridge) has room too, I have (2) 6 pack large pudding cups and can still close the fridge...and if that is not enough. It holds 3 packages of sliced turkey meat, hummus, mini non breads and the freezer is large enough to hold one pie, or a box of ice cream sandwiches or a box of toaster strudel, or anything within that size. Clearly this fridge is for our snacks. 5. The only con I have is the handle is not metal, but it is also I believe to be decorative, because the top of the door has this groove which is clearly there for opening the door. This fridge comes with a bottle opener which you can add to the side. I opted not to use it. All in all, it's a wonderful mini-fridge and I wish I got it a long time ago.

Exactly What I Wanted

I wanted a mini fridge n my office, preferably one that had a bit of a retro vibe to it. I saw this one and was drawn to it but it was out of stock. A few weeks passed and my wife was placing things in the cart when she saw it was in stock and told me to grab it. Glad I did. This thing is sweet, it looks great and works even better. I had it cranked up and put a thermometer in it, by the end of the day it was at 19 degrees. So I turned it down a couple of notches. Everything is nice and cold. Size wise I can get a lot of drinks and snacks in there. I expected it to be much heavier but it's relatively light so yeah it can move when opening the door. Moderate noise level from the condenser, nothing that becomes to crazy, kind of white noise like. The shelves are plentiful and adjustable so big plus there. Outside of having to connect the bottle opener and handle, it was plug and go. Pretty easy to use. If there were one issue it's that the handle is plastic. I mean I would have loved a metal handle that actually unlatched the door than a plastic one that has to pull a bit to open. And really how much more is the cost for that over the plastic stationary handle? Probably a couple of dollars. But it would have taken this mini fridge to another level of cool.

Cute, retro, roomy!

I saw all the reviews about receiving dented fridges, but I took a chance and ordered it. Mine was delivered in perfect condition. I waited nearly 24 hours before plugging it in (I got impatient lol). So far so good. I stocked it up mid-afternoon, got a water around 9:00 pm and it was nice and cold. I'm using this in my office/exercise room upstairs. It's so cute and has lots of room! I stocked it well and still have room for more items. It runs quiet - typical mini fridge background noise. I love my new little fridge!
