Ordered online and picked up this item from my local Home Depot 3 weeks ago. I was able to lift the fridge up the steps into my home myself and set it up quickly. It is relatively quiet (a gentle hum when cooling) and very efficient (#3 setting is even able to supercool anything around the freezer compartment, which I find handy). Looks good although top tends to scratch (I'm using it as an end table, to be honest). Plenty of space for my fresh foods and beverages. Magic Chef Mini Fridge is everything I hoped for to solve my tiny home needs.

Arrived in perfect shape. It has a pressure plastic cover on it that you peel off so the finish is protected. It's light. I'm 76 and had to get it downstairs by myself. I just pulled it to the top of the stairs by the strapping and let it sit on my back and then just went down the stairs and since it's not heavy, no problem, it just slid down with me and I unwrapped it at the bottom. Also easy to unwrap. I bought the half can size of sodas and juices and filled it. At a 5 setting, it keeps ice cubes. It's quiet and for my needs as a drink holder, it's perfect. I even put a container of iced tea in the door. The can dispenser on the door holds regular sized cans

    I've owned this mini-fridge for about a month. Quiet, cools well. Mini-fridge isn't too heavy to lift by oneself. The freezer compartment has a translucent door and comes with a tiny ice cube tray that makes the cutest tiny ice cubes. Very pleased with this purchase.

    Mini Fridge is a bit noisy when the compressor is running but seems to work well. It is laid out well to get typical large refrigerator items in Milk, Eggs, ect. I wanted a mini fridge for awhile in my home office. I have only had it for less than a month but so far so good. I wish it had a thermometer in that you could see exactly how cold things are so I will be picking one of those up soon.

    Great refridgerator for our small AirBnB apartment
    Although I bought this because of the price it is perfect for our small AirBnB. Switching the door to open the other way was easy and simple. It doesn't seem to need defrosting very often. Great value.

    Great mini fridge for the office
    Quick delivery and easy to install. I bought it to keep lunch at work. Temperature adjustment is fast and the freezer gets cold enough to make ice even though it's not a separate unit.

    Design Flaw
    We have the unit in the garage to keep drinks cold. This unit is not designed for lots af drinks. The shelves aren't adjustable and the top shelf is the only one that will allow for can drinks to stand upright, but it's too short for bottles. If you are going to use it in a dorm or small fridge for misc items it would be fine. If you want one just for drinks, buy the 3.5 cubic inch unit.

    Great Mini-Fridge
    So far, so good with this purchase. The glass shelves are very nice, and there is a lot of space, we use it for a beer fridge so bottles fit very nicely in there. Lots of way to arrange the shelves to accommodate your needs. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

    Great little fridge ;D
    We bought this to keep in the Lab after the community fridge bandits struck for the last time. The reason this one was picked is because a lot of the reviews mentioned how quiet it was while running. Which it is. This one has a real compressor so it's reliable. The ice tray's a joke but the freezer keeps ice cream bars perfect.. On mid setting (4) the contents stay at 37 deg F. And since it's Black nobody knows it's in the room. Delivery was sooner than expected.

    A 5 star product!
    I am very happy with this little fridge. It is in a small conference room. It is sleek and minimal in design; very roomy too. Very quiet (which was a concern). Works very well.

    Great Refrigerator..efficient and quiet
    Purchased this at the store. Salesman opened the box and showed me the refrigerator..at my request. Very good condition. Boxed it back up. Laid it down on the back seat of my Buick Regal..Got it home and positioned it in place. I did not plug it in for 3 hours..just so refrigerant will settle. Plug it in and turned it up to 7...Three hours later I turned down to 5. I put beer in refrigerator and popsicles in freezer. Next morning beer was nice and cold and popsicles were still frozen...it works great. it is also very quiet. I got the "chrome" door version ...Great deal for this size..This is working great for my man cave.

    Fits Great with Office Décor!
    I got this Magic Chef 2.6 cu. ft. Mini Refrigerator as a Christmas gift to take to work and was delighted with how it fits in my office. Simple and clean with an all-black exterior, it fits perfectly under my desk allowing me to store food easily and discreetly. It also is space-efficient so I can fit a lot and quiet so it doesn't bother me while I work.

    Exactly what I needed
    Yes, this was slightly dented, on the upper left side panel. But it works perfectly, is nearly dead silent and keeps my beverages cold. Seeing the dent makes me smile because it reminds me of the 50% I saved off the everyday price!

      This is the epitome of a disposable appliance
      Bought this less than a year ago and it worked just ok but didn't seem very cold and never froze anything in the freezer section which made food spoil quickly. Now the compressor doesn't turn on. Not sure how I'll be able to get warranty service since I can't find my receipt.

        A perfect fit for my studio. Plenty of room for a gallon of milk, if you remove the middle shelf. I love it and it was 40 percent off. What a great deal! ?

        Great price on a good little fridge. It was delivered with external damage and NO ONE has responded to me. But the product is well worth it. Just don’t use the delivery service.

        This refrigerator is quiet and very large inside. It holds exactly 6 cans across each shelf and you can stack them, too. It holds ALOT of beer, which is why I bought it. The freezer is large too.
