One Week Of Use (8/24/21):We’ll start with the good. As mentioned below, the unit arrived undamaged in original packaging, complete with scratch-resistant film applied to the exterior. I allowed it to sit upright for 24 hours (longer than recommended) before plugging it in; after powering it up it took several hours for the four strategically placed water bottles to cool down, but cool down they did and with little variation depending upon where in the refrigerator they were placed (one per shelf, including one in the “crisper drawer”). The (plastic of course) bottle placed in the freezer froze solid within 8 hours–I can’t be sure exactly how quickly as I was away at work for most of that time). The freezer compartment does its job well and is more spacious than I’d thought; no issues at all keeping a pint of ice cream at proper temperature, and easily enough space for a half dozen frozen meals (or more, depending on packaging size). The can rack included on the door holds 7 12-oz cans perfectly, and again I’ve noticed no variance in temperature between cans placed in that rack vs. those placed on the shelves. While the unit does produce some noise with the compressor running, it’s nowhere near a deal-breaker and probably wouldn’t even be noticed by most folks. Both doors close with a satisfying thunk, even with said can rack full.Now, the less than good. The shelf provided on the door for 2-liter bottle storage is precariously shallow; if you are storing an actual 2-liter bottle, this should be fine thanks to a swiveling bracket attached to the door frame, but if you’re trying to store other tall objects which aren’t as girthy they are not going to be stable. Nor is there space for any tall objects elsewhere in the fridge, at least not unless you store them on their side and/or remove the top shelf. The “crisper drawer” is nothing more than a small, very thin plastic tub placed on the lower level of the fridge compartment. No rails for stability, and not a whole lot of storage space either thanks to the machinery to the rear of the compartment and needing to leave room for the bottle shelf on the door. Quite a bit of condensation does form on the rear wall of the refrigerator, and does also tend to freeze pretty quickly. The manufacturer provides a small plastic scraper for removing it, and while I haven’t made us of it yet it appears up to the task. Finally, the placing of the temperature dial could be better–while it is easily accessible placed on an overhang to the right side of the fridge compartment and the numbers are printed on the side of the dial (making them visible when looking in through the door), said numbers are quite small and, given that most people will place this unit on the floor, can be very difficult to read without extensive bodily contortions.Overall I’m pleased with the product thus far, quite so with the freezer portion (and, let’s be honest, that separate freezer compartment is the main selling point for this unit vs. others in the price range). One week is hardly long enough for a thorough review, but the early returns are looking good. Four stars because, while there are shortcomings, they are all forgivable given the price point.Initial Impressions (8/17/21):Let’s just start by letting the cat out of the bag: if you’re considering buying this mini-fridge over another similar one simply because of the “RCA” brand, don’t. It’s actually a Chinese-made product sold by a Canadian company (Curtis International) and branded as RCA through a licensing agreement (and to be fair, that is spelled out above in the product description portion which everyone skips over, between the pictures and the reviews). This means that you’re in for such doozies as “Owing To Update Of Product Incessantly, Product What You Buy May Be Not Completely Comported With The Instructions”, and “When fixing refrigerator, the foaming package should be cancelled. (Including the foaming bottom)”. Any parent likely has stories already about “foaming bottoms.”Aside from the mangled English in the user manual I have few complaints thus far. My delivery date was estimated at 8/17/21, and it arrived on 8/17/21 (at 5:30 AM???!!!). No scratches or dents to be seen, and while the packaging hardly seemed bullet-proof it appeared plenty good enough to protect the fridge through normal handling. Oh, and speaking of the packaging–the item shipped with a thin protective film covering nearly the entire exterior surface, which was nice. Would be a whole lot nicer if there was any indication anywhere (other than the little bubbles under said film) that it was on there, or if a helpful pull tab were included anywhere to get it going…it literally took me twice as long to remove the film as it did to lug the thing up a spiraled staircase to the home office it now sits in (and I most definitely ain’t a body-builder).The manual recommends that “to ensure operation normally of refrigerator, by the long-distance moving, it must wait for 1/2-1 hour or so, then turn on it.” Reading other reviews before I bought it suggested letting this (or any other refrigerating/air conditioning appliance) sit in a level, upright position for 24 hours before first use, so I’m going with that. I’ll update this review as things progress.

I needed a mini refrigerator for my classroom. I thought this would be cute since it looked like a mini refrigerator with individual doors.As of today, it seems to be working good. It has only been several months.

This refrigerator advertises that it can hold many things, what it fail to advertise that it can hold many things, one at a time.The shelves have no slides to hold them in place, and are constantly rocking and making noise, the door drink holder will not allow the door to close if it has drinks in it of the standard size. You would have to disassemble and reassemble the interior in order to get, what you want in the refrigerator and even then only one or two items at a time. It is, however good for food storage, but the freezer barely holds a bottle of skinny liquor, and then only on a diagonal.Not a Recommended buy.
