5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for the dollar. Looks nice (even the wife likes it). Works as advertised.
I was a bit hesitant ordering an appliance online due to concerns of damage during shipping.I was pleasantly surprised to see that the beverage cooler was double boxed and very well protected. Unboxing was very easy: just cut the straps and the box will slide off over the top of the appliance. The cooler will then stand on a sturdy pedestal of styrofoam and corrugated plastic. I used that to slide it close to its final position in the kitchen and simply rocked it off of the pedestal and pushed the cooler to its designated location.The shelves were held in place with tape (that is easily removed without leaving any residue.) And are quite sturdy.After waiting the prescribed 24 hours to settle the refrigerant I plugged it in and let it run for an hour empty on the highest setting. This is the procedure described in the manual. The compressor is surprisingly quiet and has no noticable rattle during startup and stopping. It reached set temperature fairly quickly.The cooler is now fully stocked and all contents are evenly cooled. I keep it set at 40 degrees which seems just right for most beverages.The LED light is pleasant and just right in its brightness. The brightness is non adjustable, just either on or off but that is OK.The glass door keeps free of condensation and is slightly opaque.The door seal is very good.Overall build quality gives the impression of a well made product and I expect it to last for a few years without issues.
5.0 out of 5 stars Overall great product.
Much cheaper than a built in mini fridge. I left a little gap around the edges and have had no trouble with it overheating. It will easily hold a 40 pack of water bottles or whatever else you want to put in it. My only complaint is that the door does not stay closed very easily. If you swing the door shut it will bounce back open and likely without anyone noticing. You have to shut it all of the way by hand and make sure that the door stays shut.
5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good...
I was hesitant to buy this fridge based on the reviews about dents and noise, but further research showed that just about every manufacturer and model get the same complaints.So far it seems quieter than I had been expecting. There was one small dent, but so small I didn't even notice it until I looked for it. As it's at the back of a side panel, it will never be visible and isn't a problem.The unit was packaged very well inside of two cardboard boxes. Once you get it out of the first one, you can set it upright and the inner box can be lifted off the Styrofoam / cardboard base.The door is heavy and seals well - this fridge definitely feels well made. Unlike most other units where the hinges aren't reversible at all, or you end up with doors that are upside down and finger grabs are in the wrong location, this unit is actually well designed to allow the hinge to switch sides. There are inset grabs on both sides of the door so it doesn't matter which way you have it open.All of that said, my only complaint is that the instructions to switch the hinges lacked details. The manual simply says to remove the 3 screws and switch the hinge to the other side. It doesn't mention the hinge cover (pictured) which is quite difficult to get off if you don't know there are tabs on the inside holding it in place. I ended up lightly using a heat gun to soften up the cover and then pulled it off. You'll need to remove the plug covers on the holes that you will need to use and move them to the other side when you're done. They could also mention to place the fridge on it's back so the door can't fall when the hinges are removed, and you will need to swap a "foot" from one side to the other. None of this is hard and can easily be accomplished in 15 minutes with a Philips screwdriver and putty knife (to help remove the plugs). A level doesn't hurt either as the foot you switched is used to level the fridge side to side.All in all, if the compressor remains quiet I will be very happy with it.P.S. I added a picture from a temperature probe. Another big complaint about mini fridges is they don't get cold enough or stay at the right temp. In the beginning of the graph I opened the door for a minute while rearranging a few things. The temp is set at 36 degrees, This is pretty much spot on...
4.0 out of 5 stars Great drink chiller, would suggest
120 can size model. Manage your expectations, keep in mind this is a beverage refrigerator, not a food refrigerator. The temp isn't consistent enough to keep food preserved, but it works perfectly fine for drinks.Showed up double boxed, foam edge guards, extra packaging on the top and bottom. No dents or scratches. I'd suggested a 2nd set of hands if moving up or down stairs. Not heavy, just awkward.Put the fridge in its place and set for 24 hrs to allow refrigerant to settle. Then plugged in and set the temp to 40 deg F. It was chilled within 1 hour. Was able to load it with 60 cans (60 Oz, 475 ml size) with room to spare. I can see 120 12 oz water bottles or 12oz cans fitting in this one as advertised. No condensation on door, the more product you have in the fridge, the less it runs and the less likely it is to get condensation or leak. Will need defrosted at some point. A little is building up on the back wall already. It sits 5 feet from my desk and I can hear it run, but it's a low hum, not noticeable if listening to something or having a conversation. LED light works great. Shelving spacing and options are well thought out. Dimensions are approx 24" x 24" footprint and 36" tall.Overall I'd give this a 8/10 for value, features, and quality ($300 USD). Would suggest for office, garage, or home bar to keep drinks chilled.
