Jul 2024 REPLACEMENT REVIEW: I ordered the exact same fridge, but the blue model. Delivery was on time, but upside down. This is NOT the same product that I had previously, but none of the changes impact functionality for my intended use, namely:
-The outside of the 2021 red fridge was smooth and shiny. This 2024 blue fridge has a textured, grime collecting surface for the box, but a much preferred shiny door.
-Note that the top product images show different inside door styles from the rest of this website. My 2021 red fridge had wire shelving; this one has plastic. Either should work just fine, but note that the plastic soda holders have holes in the bottom of each holder. Laying the meds down covers the hole.
-2021 red version lacked an interior light; this one has a light.
-2021 red freezer door was solid plastic; 2024 blue is vented plastic. Based upon other reviews, this newer style results in colder top shelf and warmer bottom of fridge temps. I haven't had it long enough to test. I hope that the new one, like the old one, does NOT freeze my meds.
-2021 red freezer came with a mini ice cube tray. The freezer made ice just fine. 2024 blue model lacks an ice cube tray.
-2021 red maintained refrigerator temperatures, per my thermometer. 2024 seems adequately cold; I haven't unpacked my thermometer yet.
-2021 red had a shorter cord than the 2024 blue fridge.
-2021 red had a thin plastic film on the fridge that made it look like the fridge was badly scratched. 2024 blue had no plastic film or bag wrapping it.
-BOTH DELIVERIES were fine. No damage to boxes or refrigerators.
Even though this 2024 blue fridge is NOT what I expected, it should still store my meds without a problem. IF young children were using this, then I'd prefer the wire shelving because plastic breaks too easily. That said, I bought trays to hold my meds in the door because they slipped under the wire and fell out. I do like the colors of both the red and the blue refrigerators.
Apr 2024 UPDATE: I gave this away when I moved (advertised it as not working, ideal for a tinkerer); it worked when the recipient plugged it in. Apparently this was an electrical issue at my apartment, so I moved this back to five stars.
Dec 2023 EDIT: It is dead. It worked for 2 1/2 years.
Feb 2022 EDIT: This product was delivered in June 2021. It's now Feb 2022 and my lovely red refrigerator is still doing a fantastic job!!!
I ordered this to keep my refrigerated meds cold without taking up space in my kitchen refrigerator or having the meds packaging absorb food odors. I also store beverages in it to take my oral meds. The door can hold one 2 quart bottle, or two 1 quart bottles, but not a 3 quart bottle. A 3 quart bottle fits lying down on the middle shelf. I don't happen to store beverage cans in it, so I cannot comment on that.
My thermometer confirms that this product keeps within a normal range of refrigerated temps properly. This is important for my meds.
Note that a number of reviews complain about scratches all over the exterior. This problem is resolved by removing the thin plastic film from the outside of the refrigerator. Tada!!! No scratches!
Note that it is NOT frost-free. Plan to defrost every 4 to 6 weeks. Simply remove products from the refrigerator and place a couple of kitchen towels on the top shelf. Unplug for an hour or two. Wipe down the interior and the freezer drip tray. Plug in and return items to the refrigerator.
I don't use the freezer section.
I opted not to install the bottle opener. I tend to open the refrigerator using the finger indentations conveniently molded into the top of the door, so I cannot comment on the durability o the handle. However, the handle does match the style of Frigidaires from my youth.
Delivery was much earlier than scheduled. I had to scramble to get someone to take it indoors because it arrived a week early and I was out of town. I had selected the slowest delivery available. Note that delivery is an AMAZON issue, NOT a manufacturer, seller, or shipper issue.
I would absolutely buy this again for myself or a gift!
