Dented, all well.

I bought this for my room because I didn't want to have to go to the kitchen all the time to grab sodas etc. That's what I think the best use case for this is. Lots of mini fridges have a small freezer section in the main fridge section which I have found to be completely useless in most cases. Frosts over real fast and never gets cold enough to freeze properly. This one is great as a freezer. Decent size and gets real cold. But that comes at a price of a small fridge section. I would not buy this for anything but as a supplemental fridge. The fridge section is simply too small, I think even for one person unless you want to go to the store multiple times a week. It'll hold a couple of gallons of milk if you take out a drawer and a few things in the crisper. It will hold a lot of sodas in the door. I actually think this is a great beverage cooler and that's probably the best use case.

With all that is going on right now with the pandemic I wanted to get an extra small fridge just in case we needed to stock up or our other fridge broke down. I was looking for something a little bigger than a typical dorm room fridge and this one I thought was great for a really reasonable price (I paid just under $200)

I decided to get the black one because while I have stainless in our kitchen it's constantly smudged and I thought the black would be better.

After reading the reviews about dented items, I was nervous but mine arrived in perfect condition. It comes in a box with a ton of foam to cushion it so it has to be really thrown around to get bashed in like that. One thing that would have been nice is if they had put unpacking instructions on the outside of the box but I figured out that I needed to peel the paper away rather than trying to turn it sideways. I probably should have brought it to the basement and then unboxed it so I'd suggest moving it where you want. There are some sharp edges at the bottom and when we lifted it to carry it down the stairs I put a small scratch in my wood floor. So be careful of that.

I took the advice of some reviewers and let it sit overnight before plugging it it. FYI the instructions are inside in the drawer. I could not see the booklet because it had plastic around it that just looked like padding. Not much in there but it does tell you how to set the temp. It comes with a small ice tray. When I plugged it in the next day it started right off and was super quiet. I put some water in the ice tray and a couple hours later I went down to check and it was mostly frozen.

I really love that this has a separate fridge and freezer. Also the freezer is a good enough size that you could keep a few things in there. Also I like that there is a drawer in the fridge portion. It's perfect. You can also take the drawer out if you want to. I think I could put a medium sized turkey in there to thaw. It's really roomy.

The compressor is located at the bottom in the back. That is completely open, but be aware that it cuts into the space inside the very bottom of the fridge.

I am really happy with my purchase and feel confident recommending this to anyone in need of a small fridge.

Thanks for reading my review

It suits for a Class A motorhome. It is a good back up for the rv fridge, which needs a new circuit board.

I like the refrigerator a lot, except the can dispenser bars in ours are mounted upside down, with the opening at the top instead of the bottom, and the freezer is not self-defrosting.
