   makes a great drink cooler and ice cream hiddy hole….i can keep ice cream for over a week now because the kids have no clue where it is!!!! (was worth buying over just this HEHE)….this will hold many things IF you work with the space given (dont get the massive bottle of mayo or ketchup) and will be a killer set up for a college kidPROsfreezer holds a lot if you play tetris….drink rack in main door is nice and holds 7 12oz cans…bottom right corner of door holds a 2 liter….keeps temps well in normal to extreme heat (i have 6 thermostats in this with 4 in the fridge part and 2 in freezer) in 95 degree weather in Florida, it keeps a 5f temp in the freezer and stays right at about 36f in the fridge with my current setting of 4 on the dial…again this is a garage with NO A/C and the doors are open most of the day as i work out of this garage….CONs for most peopleWARNING when loading the can rack you must use 2 hands for the first 2 cans other wise it may shot out at you if you just drop the first 2 cans in without stopping them with your other hand (i slide my other hand in half way and only let them drop half the height to get the first 2 in, after that you can just drop them)….the shelf above the crisper has a stand off and is NOT flat with the glass shelf….things on this shelf will never sit flat if they are longer then the glass part of the shelf as the rise of the stand off is about 3/4 inch….unit needs to be at least 4 inches from a wall and really should be out farther if you can do it, compressor has NO fan and can get really hot if its covered…(do NOT cover the back, as it will burn out the compressor)….right and left side will also need space and should not have anything placed on them, not even magnets…sides of the unit have the condenser coils in them 1 on each side…..YOU NEED A THERMOSTAT to get the temps right and it will take a day or 2 to find the right settings for your placement of the unit, i ordered a 12 pack of them for cheap, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZDNP838/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1CONs if you want to use this outside or in a place with no climate controlin colder weather temps get off, when its 55 degrees outside my fridge will be at 45f but the freezer will stay at 5 to10f…freezer always stays frozen but fridge part can have temps that get over 42f and you do NOT want that when keeping normal food in the fridge part….(i only have drinks in the fridge part and please remember this is a OPEN GARAGE with no insulation, A/C or heat in the middle of winter) NONE OF THIS WILL BE A PROBLEM IF YOU USE IT INDOORS or do NOT let the temps get below 60f….i am posting this so people know when they use it like me in a garage or on something like a outdoor kitchen, they remember to watch temps on the fridge when it drops below 60f where the unit is placed when keeping food in the fridge partIN THE ENDhad it 6 months….so far its a great unit and i know i am using it in temps most people will not….yeah the handles are plastic but seem sturdy and the doors seal well… even with the quirks i would use this as a only fridge if i had to….love mine for what i use it for…YOU will be fine if you dont let it get really cold where its running

   I like it … so far. In a nutshell, here’s what it is:LOOKS:As I said, my unit was undamaged. Keep in mind that most of the people who are writing reviews here are the ones who had a bad experience. Most people don’t bother, so the number of people with dented items is going to seem much higher than it actually is. I think it looks great. The handles are plastic, so that’s a bummer, but everything else is great.DELIVERY:Great!TIP: Don’t pay for the “white glove,” delivery-inside-the-door service for the extra 10 bucks or whatever. I chose not to pay for it and they still delivered it inside my doorway. Just be sure to meet them in front of your home/office. You don’t have to, but a tip is always nice.HOW DOES IT WORK?It’s nice, for the most part. Most of the other reviewer complaints are valid …-Frost forms quickly on top of freezer/back of fridge and it’s manual defrost-It can be loud when the compressor kicks on, but not terribly loud. About the sound of someone humming.-It can be tricky to get the temp just right but keep trying. I found that just under “4” works well for me.-They put a white font for the numbers on a white background for the temperature adjustment. I took a permanent marker and wrote the numbers myself — otherwise, you’ll never be able to read it.-Don’t load too much in the top or it will throw off the temp. If you do have a lot of stuff on the top shelf, turn the temp up (cooler).-Fridge can get really, really cold.OVERALL?-So far, so good, but I always update my reviews if something fails or goes wrong, so if you’re reading this a year from today (July 3, 2022) and I haven’t updated it, you’ll know it’s working fine. Otherwise, there will most certainly be an update.I paid about $350 for it and it immediately went on sale for $300 right after I bought it. Dems the breaks, I guess. For $300 or lower, I’d say this is a great deal; for $300-$400, it’s an “OK” deal. I wouldn’t pay more than $400. If it increase over that, I’d recommend you go elsewhere.

   I unpackaged it the same day and let it sit 24 hours before plugging it in and let it cool overnight before adding anything into the fridge or freezer. I did put a drink in the door and back of the fridge and used the ice cube tray in the freezer, the ice froze and the drinks were refreshingly cold. Temperature of the freezer was at -2 and the fridge at 32 at setting 4. No dents or scratches despite the box only having a small cut through. So far I’m impressed with this fridge and I’m excited to put it to use. The only thing I think I didn’t love is the can dispenser but if you have cans about the size of a cola can then no problem!Edit: The fridge I ordered is not the exact fridge I got. The insides of the doors are different in the pictures and when the fridge actually does arrive. I thought I was getting a fridge without a can dispenser but I didn’t and none of the drinks I have will fit so it’s a little disappointing. I will probably end up buying a different fridge to fit my needs.
