ARCTIC CHEF Mini Refrigerator, Compact Freezer Compartment, Adjustable Thermostat Control, Reversible Door, Ideal Fridge for Dorm, Office, Apartment, Platinum Stainless, 3.2 Cubic Feet

I've had this fridge for around 9-10 months and its served me very well and kept everything I needed at the temperature needed. The 2 issues I would have is that; 1. The temperature control is confusing to use and I didnt wanna risk losing products so I kept it pretty high 2. The "freezer" compartment isn't great and worst of all, the moisture keeps sticking to the metal tray, freezing and creating a huge block of ice over time, blocking the plastic "door" from moving, making it near unusable. So you have to let it thaw once every few months. For the price I paid and the convenience I dont think its bad at all though.

I purchased this fridge last August (2015) while I was working on my rental house in Southern California. I had tenants bail on me after doing much damage that I had to tend to from 500 miles away. I had initially started my trips in May and I brought a large ice chest with me. I was making trips every two weeks...two weeks home and then two weeks at the rental. When I was at the rental I had to buy ice every other day to keep the ice chest cool. It was really, really hot and the ice melted quickly. I literally drained water out of lunch meat packages and had to blot my cheese just to make sandwiches. I was walking through Home Depot with my handyman one day to get supplies for repairs and there was a mini-fridge on display. It looked nice but was almost two hundred bucks. Later I went on Amazon and found this fridge. I only wish I had looked sooner! By the time I bought this fridge in August, I had literally paid more for ice since May than what this fridge cost me. I did read the reviews first and was concerned that most purchasers had received damaged items and stated the packaging was very poor. I held my breath, crossed my fingers, and placed my order. It arrived promptly...really quick! I have to say that yes, the packaging is really bad. Really bad. The box covering the unit seems original with the item nicely photographed and your standard descriptions of the unit. However, there is literally no bottom to the box!! There are shipping straps affixed that wrap the unit to hold it into the 3/4 of the box. Styrofoam "planks" are under the unit so that most of it won't touch the ground. I snipped off the straps, pulled the box up and inspected my fridge. Thankfully, I had no major dents on the exterior of the unit as some customers reported, but one if the leveling legs was broken. Remember, there is literally no bottom to this shipping box! NO BOTT0M! Okay, so...I placed this unit in the garage and followed the included instructions as far as plugging it in, setting the temperature dial and waiting for the unit to be ready to place items into it. The instructions said to plug it in and wait three (3) hours before placing items into the fridge. It arrived at about 11:30 am. I had it in place in the garage and plugged-in at about 12:00pm. The compressor fired right up and I was putting my stuff inside by 3:30 that afternoon! No more soggy sandwiches! Also, the freezer did freeze! I went to the store a couple of days later and bought some small frozen dinners. Mind you, I was sleeping on an air mattress in a totally vacant house. Spending tons of money on repairs so going out to eat was not an option! Being able to put a couple of frozen entrees into the freezer was epic! The exterior of this unit is just frankly gorgeous. I got the stainless steel version. I has a black glossy top and sides. It looks like a million bucks! It's sturdy but not unmanageable. I carried it myself from the garage into the house while the garage floor was coated, albeit slowly and carefully. I carried it back into the garage when I left. My new tenants are aware that it is to remain in place for my personal use. If you follow the included directions you cannot go wrong with this unit. I am super thrilled with mine!! I give the actual unit 5 stars. The packaging however, rates only one star. I have no idea how these get packaged the way they do but it is a concern. I would advise to make this purchase. Even if the exterior has damage, for the price you simply can't do better. Oh, and you can configure the interior as you wish. Real shelves! More room than you might think at first glance.

Was really excited to receive it early. Got really worried when I saw that the box was damaged. Then was truly disappointed when I saw the huge dink on the back left corner, the one on the right side and several others on different place. The packaging is inadequate for something like this. Will not order something like that on any website again. Amazon was amazing in dealing with this. Too bad cause I found this bar fridge really sweet and perfect for what we needed.

We use this for camping. As a second fridge outside the camper. Load it up with drinks and it gets ice cold inside a couple of hours. Works great!

Ideal space for my room. Fits beautifully. It gets really cold too. I just use it for drinks since I usually don't have room in my kitchen refrigerator. The previous mini fridge that I had broke so this is what I purchased to replacement. I really like this one better. I miss that it doesn't have a drawer at the bottom, but there is still room to put a row of cans at the bottom. I do like the can holders that are in the door. My previous mini fridge had a vertical spot for the cans, and you had to pull from the bottom to get to the drink. If you had a drink you wanted in the middle, it was hard to get to. I really like the setup this fridge has. It has individual spots for cans or a couple little mini shelves as well. Everything is much easier to access. I also like that in the door there is space for taller bottles. Like I said earlier it gets really cold especially on the top shelf. I have had cans freeze, some to the point of slushy, some to the point of frozen solid and I even had one explode in the fridge. I need to adjust the settings. I don't mind if some drinks get a little slushy, but I do not want to have to clean up after exploding cans. Overall though, this was a great purchase. I really like the layout and the size. It was a great value for the price.
