Pros: Great functionality, reliable, roomy, well organized, good price.
Cons: The packaging is mediocre- Probably not a major concern for most.
The Bottom Line:
At this price, can you find a better one?
What makes a good refrigerator? Since many if not all refrigerators are capable of the basic function of keeping food cool without spoiling them, the criteria comes down to interior organization, energy usage, aesthetics, and of course, price.
First of all, I have to say that this 2.7 cu. ft. refrigerator has enough space to store most common items such as gallon milk cartons, egg cartons, packages of meat, or vegetables. Although it is not possible to stock a large supply of food, it is understandably not this refrigerator's purpose. Its presence in an office, a college dorm, hotel room and such provides a sufficient cooling room for a good volume of items.
The interior organization is actually quite flexible, with removable racks so to allow customization of space. In addition to the main storage area, there is a rack on the back of the door that is very useful for holding items such as bottles of soda, packages of deli meats, etc... There is a "freezer" area at the top right corner of the refrigerator and an ice tray is provided.
There is an energy usage chart that comes with the refrigerator, stating that this is one of the most energy efficient refrigerator of its class on an energy usage spectrum. I don't suppose the manufacturer can get away with lying about things like this so I take it as truth. It costs about $25 of electricity annually if it is constantly plugged in.
The refrigerator is almost all white, which I don't find a problem with. The top of the door looks nice (gray) and there is a little curved handle on top to open the refrigerator. In other words, you don't have to worry about this refrigerator being the ugliest item that stands out in a room. It won't be.
The price is very reasonable. It comes at $87 or so from Walmart. Although there are probably clearance sale at local stores that may occasionally offer a similar product for cheaper, the $87 is a great everyday price.
All in all, this refrigerator is functional, well organized, efficient, and economical. What more can you ask for?
