It had a burning smell as soon as I turned it on. I presumed it was new startup burning off manufacturing oils or coatings and just let it stay. Unfortunately the return period has expired but the smell is still as strong as ever. I am concerned of the fire hazard this may be indicating. It does cool well which made me think all was ok but now getting scared.

NO it will not hold 128 regular soda cans. The top can only hold one row on either side of the top vent. You could lay the cans down but it messes with the air flow and won't chill the rest of the cans. There is a rounded back where I am guessing the compressor is located that does not allow a row of 6 cans as it stated in the manual. The compressor is loud and gets very hot especially after loading the cans. Took nearly 2 days to get it down to an optimal temp. No, I do not recommend and I am still on the fence about returning it. We did buy a stand for it so we didn't have to crawl on the floor to get a drink.

-arrived earlier than expected -well packaged -easy set up -37 degrees. not Alaska but it does the job -purchased at $219 i didnt notice it was $20 cheaper at the club. i was able to get a price adjustment via the customer service chat -planning on installing in place of where the dishwasher goes. due to its dimensions, its a little smaller than your standard dishwasher so there will be gaps so there goes another diy project -i will try and go back and place another review or update this one in a few months but so far so good

It's a nice small wine refrigerator It keeps your stuff very nice and cool I have it in my front room I don't have to walk through my fridge.
