• ★★★★☆Buy extra ice trays

  Bought this mini fridge a few days ago for my media and room too hold beer, cokes, cold snacks and such so I wouldn't have to keep running up and down the stairs to the kitchen. Works great so far. Came only with one mini ice tray that freezes quickly (but they are mini ice cubes) Also bought the protection plan but in hindsight that purchase was probably unnecessary. Its pretty quiet.

• ★★★★★Good quality and looks good.

  Good design, and the stainless steel looks nice. It is fairly quiet, keeps drinks cold in the fridge, and ice in the freezer. This is in our basement, and having the separate freezer compartment to actually keep ice was more important to me than having more room in the fridge section. There is still plenty of room in the fridge for our needs. This is my second SPT mini fridge; I have one at my office that I have had for 5 years and am still very happy with it.

• ★★★★★It is the perfect size and because it is stainless steel is allowed ...

  I bought this fridge for our shop, more for a present for my husband but I use it myself as well. It is the perfect size and because it is stainless steel is allowed in our shop. I love that the freezer is separate from the refrigerator, it seems to be more roomy and I believe will keep the temperatures separate better. We did have to leave it plugged in and running for 24 hours to get a true temperature reading of the refrigerator. When we first plugged it in, the freezer got cold fast but the fridge was making us nervous by not cooling down fast but the next day the temperature was close to freezing so we had to turn it down a little and it now works great!! We would recommend this to anyone!

• ★★★★★All's Well + 1 Year Update

  Update: 3 28/16For some there may be an unacceptable cosmetic problem. Top of the unit is covered with a plastic film and after a few weeks a bubble formed around one of the rivets. Also, I sat a couple of bottles on top of the unit and noticed they scratchs. Today that bubble has spread widely and there are several scratch marks. If it were in a bright room where guests would see the refrigerator's top it would look unsightly and you would need to cover it with a cloth. No problem for this bachelor hermit, but for a family home's party room....I remain completely satisfied with its performance and the noise factor may have increased but not enough to be noticeably annoying as it is with other brands. Aside from the bubbles, one of which looks as if it may go down the side, this is a fine cooling unit and the freezer works great. Defrosting is the usual hassle.------------------------------Original review 3/18/15My greatest concern was shipping damage. I looked at all the compact refrigerator's 1&2 star reviews and most common was a damaged dented product. Same for window air conditioners.There is a problem with shipping large heavy items and most especially a problem with the hassle of reboxing and returning them. I don't have a way to do that and so I held my breath. First relief was learning the shipper was Amazon and they were using FedEx and not UPS for their free delivery. UPS is not as reliable in Austin, Texas and a visit to both company's shipping offices will tell you why. This unit was securely double boxed and had no damage to either box. Whew!I plugged it in and so far everything works as expected --except, it's quieter than I had imagined.My only criticism is the can rack in the door. Shows how far I am from the average compact user in that I haven't bought canned liquids in decades. I am a beer drinker but it's bottles only around the home, draft in a restaurant. So there's no space for upright 12 oz bottles and no way to get rid of the race which for just takes up space. I knew all that when I ordered.FYI, the other part of the door rack will hold two bottles of wine.The refrigerator I received is as advertised.

• ★★★★★Excellent Small Refrigerator

  I have a spare bedroom with a separate entrace and wanted a small refrigerator in the room for convenience. This refrigerator is great for the purpose. First, I checked the temperatures of the freezer and refrigerator sections with a high quality thermometer used to measure temperatures on refrigerated trucks. At the medium setting, the freezer temperature measured 0 degrees, both full and empty. The refrigerator compartment measured 40 degrees at about half full. Both of these are ideal temperature settings. Second, the unit is absolutely quiet. Even in the silence of the night, with my bed only a few feet away, there is never any sound. I never hear the compressor kick on or off and don't hear any circulation sounds from the refrigerant. Third, it puts off very little heat. This is important in a small room in Arizona. Fourth, there has been virtually no ice build-up in the freezer compartment; just a thin coating of frost. As for size, I am using NutriSystem and the entire month's shipment of frozen foods from its standard assortment fits in the freezer. Just barely, but it fits. The one negative is that the shelves in the refrigerator section are not adjustable. They are either in or out. But there is can and tall bottle storage on the door.One bit of advice: If you want the unit to run silently and efficiently, do not plug it in for 2 hours after moving it.UPDATE: Due to my moving out of state, I decided to sell this unit. However, ending up in a similar situation, I bought another one. The good news is, I still give it 5 stars. This one seems to make just a slight bit more noise than my first one, though it is not noisy by any stretch of the imagination. It could be that this is due to the fact that this one is sitting on hardwood as opposed to carpet and that the house A/C has not been running. Still, it is also in a smaller room and it still is almost silent.
