   Pretty nice
   While I absolutely LOVE this fridge, it doesn’t get SUPER cold, but cold enough. The part that really hurt my heart was that it doesn’t hold my waters. I’m an avid water drinker, like 10 bottles a day, and I can maybe fit three if I angle them in. I got this for my gaming desk and it definitely makes the perfect accent piece! I also covered it in stickers haha

   Great office fridge
   I bought this for a doctor I work with in his office. He had been drinking room temp pop for years! This machine is so amazing for the price! The fridge can sit on his desk, fits many pop cans in there, keeps them cold and looks cute in his office. The door closes shut, there is little noise, easy to navigate and lightweight. Quality is excellent! Very easy to clean. I recommend this for offices

   Decent for keeping drinks cool, not very energy efficient; bad caps on power supply
   Got this to keep at work to keep a few cans of soda cool. I’m in a shared multi-tenant office building, so keeping sodas in the shared fridge is essentially giving away free drinks to anyone who wants it. Since my office is two desks behind a locked door (and no one but me really goes there), it was a no-brainer to get something like this mini fridge.Upside is it’s cute. It is able to hold about 8 standard sized cans of soda. Less common sizes (red bull, monster, slim/tall cans) will affect how many can go in.Downside is it’s a little noisy, though that may just be the regular sized 80mm computer fan they used. It’s certainly not quiet like a Noctua branded fan would be).I purchased my Frigidaire mini fridge July 2023 and by June 2024 the power supply died. Upon inspection, two capacitors had swelled up, breaking the top seal, and the fridge stopped working. While I have the soldering skills and knowledge on how to fix this (It’s a 46-cent fix to replace 2 capacitors on the power supply), not everyone will be able to or be comfortable performing such a fix.The bigger issue is this is a warning sign when all of a specific type of capacitor fail simultaneously. This may mean it’s highly likely other Frigidaire mini fridges like this one also use the same parts from the same production run. This may mean a fair number of these mini fridges could suddenly stop working. Also, they used cheap no-name brand caps on the PSU so there’s not an easy way to identify the cap manufacturer. This could be due to bad caps, or the wrong caps for this application, I won’t be able to tell until after I repair it.This shouldn’t have failed like it did, but cheap and poorly chosen parts ultimately led to an early demise. For comparison’s sake, I own a Sega Genesis from 1992 with its original capacitors and with significantly more power-on time and those caps haven’t failed or leaked yet. Rest assured Sega was not aiming for 32-year longevity, but certainly they strove for enough time to make it through the years it was actively developed for.

   Worked well for me
   I bought the pink one after seeing the red one on a co-worker’s desk. Loved it. Lasted me for 2 years almost to the day I bought it. If you are looking for something to keep/get your drinks ICE COLD, this is not it. However, it DOES work as it was advertised…IT’S A COOLER, people…NOT A FULL BLOWN REFRIGERATOR. Kept my drinks and lunch cold enough for the day and that was perfectly fine with me. I would have loved it if it was a real fridge at this size, but alas, no.My husband took a look at it when I brought it home after it stopped working. Using his extensive expertise he had to break the news to me that it was toast. “Do you want me to toss it?” he asked. “Heck NO!” I said. “I want to use it for storage in my studio now!”This little fridge was super fun, so I may or may not get another one…not quite sure yet. Give it a try, it’s a fun accessory for your desk. Later, you can use it to hold all you little desk do-dads.

   Mini fridge for classroom
   This product works well, I am able to fit six small water bottles in it. It does put out hot air at the back, so be careful of what you put next to it.

   Worked for just short of a year. Then it wouldn’t turn on.
