Amazon.com Product Description
With its 1-2/3-cubic-foot capacity, this compact-size refrigerator/freezer works great for an office or dorm room. The unit provides a full-width slide-out wire shelf, a full-width and a half-width door-storage shelf, and a half-width freezer compartment with an ice-cube tray. Its adjustable thermostat can be controlled by the rotary temperature-control dial mounted on the back of the unit, which offers seven settings plus "off". The refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature level selected. The appliance comes with a recessed door handle that makes the unit flat and space saving in the front, while its coil back works as a condensor to release heat trapped inside the refrigerator. Even more, its reversible door can be set up to open from either the left or the right side, while two front leveling legs make it easy to stabilize the unit even if it sits on an uneven surface. Other highlights include a manual defrost system that helps save on energy costs, a convenient defrost drain, and a quick-clean drip tray. The UL-approved refrigerator/freezer measures 18-5/8 by 17-1/2 by 19-5/8 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with a five-year warranty on the compressor.

Customer Reviews

Just right5
This is a dependable, well-built mini-refrigerator at a good price. It looks and performs exactly as advertised.

Good Enough3
I bought this Haier fridge for my smallish office, so I could have cold drinks all day (soda, juices). For the price (and the free and convenient shipping), it can't be beat. That's not to say it's perfect. Mine arrived damaged (the purely cosmetic triangular plastic cap for the door hinge, located at the top corner of the unit, was cracked and separated from the fridge itself, though it kind of clicks back on, though it's prone to falling off, as the greenish goo that holds it is kind of smeared off). Also, the cardboard box it's shipped in isn't really that well-made and was falling apart, so I wouldn't be surprised if the fridge doesn't work for the longish haul (never mind the long haul). The fridge is also pretty dirty and needs a wipe-down; there's a dusty film in places and it has a chemical odor to it. But again, for the price, this made-in-China fridge is just fine. Cold acai juice on the hour, every hour, here I come.

This refrigerator arrived in the poorest package I have ever seen for a product of ths type. The packaging had virtually disintegrated. The box was very poorly made and did not properly protect the product. There was damage that clearly was not the fault of the freight company. The result was the product was scratched and dented. To return it I would have had to find a box and completely repackage it so it wasn't worth the trouble.
The refrigerator works well enough.
I would not buy this product again due to the poor packaging.
