Good to Go Out of the Box!

Nice, compact little fridge, light and easy to lift. It arrived in great condition with zero damage, door gasket in perfect shape. We followed directions… started with level 7, went a stop lower every couple of hours, and settled on 4 overnight and have left it there. We put a few little beverage cans in there the next morning, a small bottle of champagne in the door, and filled the little ice cube tray for a test. Temperature when set at level 4: When the compressor cycles off, we get a reading of about 39º at the inside back wall, 43º in the door, and the chiller compartment is below freezing (around 25º). But that's only for a brief time. Shortly before the compressor cycles back on, we get readings that are an average of 10º higher in all three spots. It's good that they refer to it as a "chiller compartment" because it's not a real freezer; there's only room for a small frozen dinner at best, or an ice cube tray. And though ice cubes stay mostly frozen, they're obviously melting a bit in between cycles. After only 24 hours, there's already a thin layer of bumpy frost on the under side of the chiller compartment, so there's your freeze thaw in action. We'll have to keep an eye on that. Compressor and noise: There's the typical brief click when the compressor starts and stops, and a very quiet hum when it's on. Not noisy at all. It doesn't cycle on and off very often. The compressor is exposed in the back, and while it looks a little rough, our HVAC neighbor said it's typical, and that the dimple we see in the front is by design. It's only slightly warm to the touch when operating and at rest. Aesthetics: The blue color is slightly less vibrant than is shown online, and is more like a slate turquoise—we LOVE the color! It's a really attractive little thing, sleek with a nice retro look to the front, and we're hoping the function is as solid as the design. All this said, out of the box it's plenty sufficient for us, because we're using it for beverages and water in our office (nothing that could spoil), and to make more room in the main kitchen fridge and hopefully open those doors less. We do recommend it for this purpose, but not to people who expect a fridge that will hold at 38º max, or if people think they're getting a legit freezer compartment. If performance continues in this manner, it's a perfect little beverage fridge! (Will edit/update if things go awry.)

I'm in Luv! ❤️

I love! Love! Love! My new mini fridge, it's the cutest little thing I tell ya! I purchased the slate blue and it is a really beautiful color, not loud or flamboyant at all. It's moreso of a pale blue, but I love it. It works extremely well. Everything gets very cold in there, my cans of soda are almost freezing to touch, as well as the water bottles, the food and everything else that I put in there. I added pics of food just to show the capacity and what it can hold, but I'll be using it for meds, some food & drinks and my cosmetics, to keep them cool. The freezer works very well! I put water in the little ice tray and it froze it with no problem. I also put some of those frozen burritos in there and they froze up pretty quickly and stayed that way. A lot of reviewers have been complaining about items falling from the lower shelf on the fridge door. After reading so many reviews, I did some research and found the perfect solution! Plastic food storage containers. It's exactly 12" on the bottom shelf and I used alien tape to secure the bottom of the plastic container to the fridge door and it is stiff and not moving anywhere! I'll leave the link for those plastic containers at the end of my review. But this refrigerator is amazing, mine didn't come with any dents at all and I just love the old school look! I had previously purchased the Cooluli and ended up sending that back because why pay $109 for a "cooler" when you can get a fridge that actually gets cold - not "cool", and freezes things as well if need be. Also the EcoFlow Power Source works very well with it. The most important thing about my lil baby is that she WORKS & does exactly what she's designed to do, and that's refridgerate! So, if you're on the fence about this like I was for a long time, get off the fence & just go for it! Worth every penny. Clear, plastic containers 👇🏾 BINO Drawer Organizer https://a.co/d/eNmvXck

Surprisingly Silent

So far, this mini fridge is a perfectly silently and cools very efficiently. Even the ice cube tray freezes perfectly without freezing items on the shelf below it. PRICING: Beware of the dynamic pricing. The four colors change prices daily or sometimes intraday ranging from $181 to $94. I missed the bottom price but was able to purchase close enough that it seems worth it. Suggest checking daily and / or using a price tracker like 'Keepa' to be notified when the price drops. I did a lot of research and this size (a bit bigger the usual small, square fridge) is perfect. MINT: The mint color is very retro and polished - a true statement piece. Looks great. Works great. And sounds...none to speak of! Note: My office is an interior room about 100 sq feet so the fridge really needed to be silent and it is! Even when the compressor is on, I don't hear anything. Hopefully, the unit will continue to function for a long time to come.

Works better than expected

First off it’s not a refrigerator so don’t expect one, however it does get things cold. Cold, not just cool. I use it for medication and it’s absolutely perfect. It doesn’t take up much space, it’s quiet, inexpensive, looks cool, well put together )for light occasional use anyway). I think you can Jam Pack a six pack into it but you gotta place the cans strategically and may have a hard time getting one out the first time you go for a beverage but it is what it is. If you want something that can freeze what’s in the back of it or something with more space get the larger mini fridge model. The mini cooler works great, I’ve had one before and this one is way better.
