Customer Reviews

This is an electric cooler - NOT a refrigerator3

I bought this as a refrigerator (and it was advertised as such) to keep water and juice cold upstairs in the bedroom for use after exercising. (Yeah I know, after exercise I'm too lazy to go back downstairs to the real frig). This really is an electric cooler and as it states in the manual will cool items to 25° below room temperature. That means if you have it in a 80° room, the internal temperature will be 55°. Don't store meat or dairy in this unit! In my air conditioned bedroom, juice and water are kept at 40°, which is OK. It also runs continuously without cycling off. At least that is what I am observing based on the noise. I had originally set it next to the bed, but it made too much noise (whirring/whining) and I had to move it across the room. Now I think my wife wants to move it into another room.
I bought this unit on sale for $49 and it is doing the job for which I bought it, but if I had to do it over, I would buy a real refrigerator.
