I have ordered 12 of these total for a small motel. The handles break easily if used to open the fridge. 9 of the 12 arrived damaged either with dents, dings, or both. The are darling. If ordering one I would have it shipped straight to the store where you could check it out to see if it is damaged.

Fake handle is cheap plastic. I had to trim fitting mechanism to even get it to fit together. I fully expect it to break off eventually. Do not use it to open fridge. Having said that, I have purchased 2 of these. Other than the cheap exterior, they have met my needs.

The handle broke off the moment I first tried to open the fridge. It looks like metal but it is really flimsy plastic. The fridge comes with a warranty, but when I emailed the company they said that they didn’t have more handle pieces and there’s nothing they can do. Disappointed that the fridge broke before it even had food inside.

I bought it to place in my bedroom. However it makes too much noise... much more than expected and after reading all reviews... !!! I had to take it off my bedroom so I could sleep... However, even having it placed in the hallway, I really like the fridge and I enjoy ice cold beer any time...

Bought this for my daughter’s college dorm, she’s restricted to 5cf but the only place to put it is under her bed, which is on risers. This smaller 3.2cf is the perfect size to fit under the bed. It may still leave some room on top for other stuff. The entire frig is wrapped in plastic film to protect the finish during sniping. My daughter loves the color and it looks better than the photos. The interior is small but well organized. There is a condensation tray that slides under the freezer section to catch any water dripping from the freezer unit. It also comes with a cute little ice cube tray but the cubes are very small. The instructions state the freezer on this unit isn’t designed for frozen food but it can keep things frozen for a day or so. It will make ice cubes in the small tray but you have to change the thermostat settings to do this. The freezer section is very small so if you’re planning to keep frozen food, this model isn’t for you. The bottle opener and door handle come in a bag side the unit and have to be put on. The bottle opener feels like metal but the door handle feels like plastic and not very strong. You can also change which side the door opens from. Overall, it’s a nice little unit for a dorm, bedroom, or office and looks cool as long as you don’t need a real freezer section.

I really love the look of this fridge. It's running very quietly (for now), and it generally gets the job done. Some issues: Some parts of it feel really cheap. In the photo, the handle looks one of those old-fashioned, metal handles which, hinged so when you pull on them, they move out a bit and open the fridge. This one seems to be a chrome coating over plastic, it doesn't move, and it feels like if you pull it too hard it will break. The bottle opener is actual metal, but it doesn't work very well. You have to struggle to get the bottle cap to catch, and it feels like it may pull the fridge apart when you remove the bottle cap. So, while the retro paint and styling convey solidity, the actual construction is very, very flimsy, too much plastic, not enough metal. I worry that this fridge will not withstand long use very well. Then there is the space issue. There is a long column of can holders on the inside door. All it can hold is soda cans. This is really a bad idea. All of that space could be put to better use. one can store soda cans on shelves, but it's hard to store anything in a long vertical can holder. In a small fridge, every inch counts.

The mini fridge is attractive and seems to function well. Installation of the handle is problematic at the tolerances in manufacturing seem to have been off. I purchased three of these mini fridges and only one allowed for easy installation of the handle, the other three were extremely hard to get connected and I ended up scratching the finish on those two units in the process of installing. Material of the handle is plastic, which was a bit disappointing as well. Overall for the price I'd still call it a good bargain, but believe the handle issue should be investigated by the manufacturer and corrected.

We liked the retro look and size as we needed to have it in the dining room. In person, it is *very* lightweight So it needs to be filled to stabilize it. Also, it makes low, churning sounds akin to a washing machine. Lastly, still have not figured out how to attach the handle- poor instructions and long hold times with Frigidaire

I think this unit is an absolutely stunning retro addition to my kitchen. Love the color. Cons are the bottom of fridge. It sits on an aluminum ledge which will scratch your kitchen floor! The handle is made of plastic. I elevated the fridge by placing it on a small table. Cut a piece of padded vinyl and placed under the fridge. This way I don’t need to bend to looks for drinks, and clean. I can also place a case of pop or water underneath for refilling. The vinyl keeps the fridge from scratching table.

My fridge works very fine over all I love the look. I know some rolls were saying the freezer doesn’t freeze but with mine it froze popsicles but not ice cream bars so I’ll have to try again but it’s a very good fridge over all. However I see that’s the rice went up my boyfriend got mine for me a little after Christmas for only 170$ after tax and shipping.
