Good Refrigerator

Reviewed by Harry from Chicago, IL area on Nov 25, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I like this refrigerator a lot. The compressor is abit noisy but otherwise I'm satisfied. Be careful about getting cans of soda too close to the metal shield in the back covering the refer coils -- I had a soda can freeze and burst; now I leave an inch or so space in the back. Harry

Cons:	Noisy
Best Uses:	Office Fridge, 2nd Refrigerator
Pros:	Space For Tall Items, Customizable Shelving, Holds Temperature Well, Attractive Design

Big room & frost free

Reviewed by Fridge King (Casual Cook) from Plainfield, Il on Jul 17, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Not having a freezer is a great benefit since it gives you more room. The freezer in most mini-fridges are worthless; so I think it is better to not have one. The self defrosting is worth the price premium.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Space For Tall Items, Quiet, Energy Efficient, Frost Free, Holds Temperature Well
Best Uses:	Wet Bar

Great little Fridge

Reviewed by BBQJohn (Casual Cook) from Downers Grove, Il on Nov 27, 2006

Bought this fridge to keep beer and wine cold in the bar. It was the largest size I could get into the cutout opening in our bar. Seems like a quality unit compared to other small fridges. Fits 2 bottles of wine in door and about 2 cases of beer in cans and bottles. Took a while to get the temp set correctly but once set running fine.

Best Uses:	Beverages
Cons:	DIfficult to set temp
Pros:	Door Shuts Securely, Space For Tall Items, Quiet, Frost Free, Adjustable Shelving

This is a good unit

Reviewed by BAL (Casual Cook) from Iowa City on Sep 14, 2006

[...] No marks or blemishes on the unit I received. Keeps beverages cool, even on door. Shelves are somewhat difficult to remove and re-position but this is not disqualifying.
