As advertised
This small refrigerator is quiet and doesn't have an icemaker, which provides a little additional space for sodas. Just what we needed.

Nice little refrig and very quiet
I didn't see anything about the door being reversible but it is. It arrived in perfect condition and put to good use immediately.

Great purchase
Nice, very quiet and cools great. We use in the office (~20 people in its area) to keep coffee creamers and other small items. No complaints. It's too early to tell if it's going to last but I have no reason to believe it won't. Even if after a year it goes bad the price point is not a killer and in our case it's acceptable to replace it. I may even buy one for home and use it as a drink cooler.

Not a real fridge or freezer. Gets only about as cold as a cheap "cooler". Pricey!
Not a real fridge or freezer. Gets only about as cold as a cheap "cooler". Too expensive! Looks nice but feels cheap and is very lightweight. Avoid and look elsewhere!

Would NOT buy if need to maintain constant temperature!
Although I'm sure the product is an okay product, I was unaware that Super Conductor refrigerators do NOT maintain a constant temperature. I bought this for a clinical setting for vaccines, etc that need to be at a constant temperature at ALL times. Before putting any of our medications in it, we decided to make sure that it was going to do okay. We have a temperature monitor that shows us the last highest and the last lowest reading. The lowest reading would pretty much stay constant---however, during the middle of the day / or night / (there was no rhyme or reason as to when) the temperature would shoot up 10-15°, out of the acceptable range. We played with the temperature control, setting it to maintain 36°. (between medium and high) so We hoped that by setting it at the bottom of the temperature range, it would still hopefully be in range when the temperature shot up. Result: No, it still jumped up to 48-52°, outside the acceptable range. My low score is purely for this fact of not maintaining temperature---AND the fact that they don't tell you this in the specs (of course they're not going to point out the cons, only the pros, but surely they could find a "positive" way of stating this fact.) NOT Home Depot's fault---I researched this product outside of Home Depot and couldn't find any difference in the reviews/specs. I really like the fridge, and really wish it would have worked for our application, but will have to send it back and find something different.

    Perfect for its intended purpose.
    I use it in my garage/workshop mostly to keep beverages cold. It replaced another 1.7 cubic ft. model when its compressor croaked. The lack of a freezer compartment creates more usable space and the shelving is much more flexible than the old one. It can hold and keep very cold 24 twelve ounce cans or bottles. I am also looking forward to not having to defrost this one. If you don't need a freezer compartment this should be your choice.

    Great mini frig Exactly what I was lookin for
    I wanted a mini fridge that I could use at the office that was light, small, and quiet. I do not even hear it at all. Its light and easy to move. The only down side to it is it doesn't have a freezer compartment but I really don't need one. I would recommend this fridge for sure......

    Perfect for under my desk
    Perfect for under my desk, quite running, great addition to my office. Keeps my lunch cold and I am able to keep sodas in it for my kids when they come into my office after school, saving me a lot of dollars each day. I went to the store to make my purchase, but there was no selection on the shelves. The internet had so many to pick from. I used the customer reviews to make my selection.

    Quiet - all the time
    This unit is nice and quiet - no compressor turning on and off. In use in my dad's room for his medical supplies and is working perfectly.
