Compact Refrigerator Reviews

We really love the Weber Chill and have not had any guest to our home who hasn't asked where we got it and even how much it cost! We ordered the silver and would recommend to anyone ordering to get the two wire baskets (extra cost) to go with it. This allows you to stack many 12 oz. cans of soft drinks/beer, etc. Also would recommend keeping cooler out of harsh sunlight and turning up when stocked completely full. We entertain outdoors all summer and have used the cooler every day. Highly recommended!

Keeps the beer cold! I could stop there but I'll continue! Had party 2 weeks ago and moved the chill out on the patio so people wouldn't have to be going in and out the door every 5 minutes. Worked out great!

I keep all my can pop (soda) and beer in it so I have more room in my fridge. Everyone who has seen the chill loves it and 2 of them have even bought one for their home.

This thing rocks!! It comes packaged nicely and secure and sets up in no time. It cools down fast and is the must have patio item for your summer. Baskets are a must get. I will be chillin and grllin a lot with this badboy come summertime!!! Go load it up with your favorite brewskis!!!

Just as good as a electric coffee maker. I use a small bunji cord that goes around the pot and unit during transit

I really love my Coleman coffee maker. After cold, sleepless nights, sliding down my sleeping bag, it's wonderful to wake up to a good cup of coffee. Say good-bye to weak coffee with grinds floating around from those inadequate percolators. We camp with 3 other families and the adults are all hanging around my coffee maker for their morning cup o' Joe. For those of you who love coffee and only sort of like camping, this is a must have.

This is a great gift. Not many will go out to purchace for themselves, except perhaps the true wine lover. Excellent show piece and yet functional!

It looks good, it is simple to set up and use, and it keeps my wine perfect. Make certain you buy the 42 bottle one anything else is too small. Great starter wine cellar!

I purchased this item 2 years ago and had it mounted in my basement bar.... soo kewl. Everyone who comes here wants to know where i got it..
Only problem is....the interior light went out.... I CAN NOT find a replacement.. We have taken the burned out light to dozens of retailers... can NOT find a new one..and of course I threw out the original hand books.
so if anyone knows how to get a replacement bulb.. let me know..
email me at Mfrank010@comcast.net
I love this product. fully recommend it....
It is so classy.

I'm a "kit" kinda lover, and this is the ultimate as far as I'm concerned. It cooled up from UPS package to plug within about 2.5 hours -- Admitted, I added a couple of those freezer-ready soft-gel thingies that you can place on a sore back, etc. just to make it cool up more quickly. Of course, I won't leave them in there now that it's cold -- Quite cold.

The motor is virtually silent (at least at this point, and I did get a refurbished model, so this is a Very good point, in my mind).

The unit truly is spacious, and I love the light that comes on, just like with a "real" fridge. If you love fun gadget stuff, this is for you. I Know it's for ME! (Thank you Amazing2002 from Amazon.com)

This wine "cellar" was a great buy from Amazon.com especially with free shipping! I purchased it at only a little bit (just under $...- on clearance) more than the 42-bottle cellar and as such has a great bottle-to-dollar ratio. It looks nice and fits great into the room it is in.

There are a couple of things that are detractions to the product. 1) It is noisy. When it kicks on it is rather loud and stays loud until the compressor turns off again. I am a bit worried about possible excessive vibrations but I don't know enough about the effects of such on wine and its storage to justify my fear. 2) The temperature range is supposed to stay within ten degrees but I find that on occasion it fluctuates a little more than that.

With all that said. I can't complain. I am not a connoisseur, just an enthusiast, and so this wine "cellar" is good enough for me.

This modern wine cellar is an excellent choice for someone for whom a mini-unit storing 20 or 24 bottles wouldn't be enough, but a refrigerator-sized unit would be overkill. We're very happy with our Haier, with its space for 46 bottles, and a sleek black-and-gray design that would blend in with many home decor choices. Standing more than four feet high, it's not for someone with very limited space (or someone who minds a very quiet hum from the unit once in a while), but if you've got the room and you care about how your wine is stored, this would be an exceptional value for your money.

Functions as advertised. Instructions were complete. Could be upgraded by having Sanyo install a thermometer.

The unit visually is the equal of other hardware in the kitchen annex where it sits on a counter.

I am going to install some exterior side wall insulation blocks covered with thin veneer hardwood to reduce cold loss. To the hand, the box insulation must not be quite thick enough to retain more cold.

Bottom line: I would do it again.

The Sanyo 24 bottle wine cooler is about the best on the market for this size. Construction quality is quite good. I managed to fit 27 bottles of cabernet (7 on bottom shelf). The temperature control was perfect with the normal setting measured by my thermometer at 55 degrees, ideal for long term storage of fine wines. I got tired of my wine spoiling after a few months, even in the basement, and the good stuff is getting outrageously expensive. I now feel much more confident in storing. Big thumbs up.

This wine cooler is certainly not top-of-the-line, but it is perfect for the average wine drinker (like myself). It is nice looking, and holds a consistent temperature. One small drawback is that it does not have a temperature gauge built in-- I had to buy one.

Definitely would purchase this again... the wine does taste better!

The picture is of the 3.2 cubic foot model

I just bought this fridge at the local Target because shipping off the website was ridiculous ($50). The one at Target was cheaper too, only $140 instead of $150 (or $200 with s/h). It's really good and really roomy. If you turn the temperature all the way down, you can practically turn the whole fridge into a freezer, it's that cold. It's a really good fridge for a really good price. The rental fridge which you have to return here at UCI is like $178. I got this fridge for only $150 with tax, and I won't have to return it at the end of the year. It's a good investment.

I bought this attractive little appliance for use in an airplane hangar where the occasional consumption of perishable food and cold drink storage is desirable. This quiet running compact fit the bill perfectly. Some designs in this class of refrigerator are barely capable of holding 2 six-packs of canned beverage. Why bother? This fridge with 4.3 cubic feet of internal space is generous enough to store a reasonable amount of perishable food stuffs. Just don't expect too much utility of the freezer though, as its capacity is quite small. The internal layout of the Danby is well thought out and the vertical beverage stack on the door is a welcomed plus. The upper portion of the door also includes a special clear plastic insert to accomodate up to 9 eggs, but is an easily removed option. You can even change the direction of the door swing by swapping out the reversible hinges. Sized at a reasonable 20" across, the top of my Danby refrigerator perfectly accomodates a small microwave oven and the combination of the two is hard to beat when eating a casual meal miles away from the full sized comforts of the home kitchen!

So I got the Cooper Cooler for my office. It seemed so cool and slick. And the description said it brings soda cans down to 34 degrees in a minute. Doesn't get much better than that right? WRONG!
The little detail the editorial forgot to mention was that you have to put ice-cubes (YES, ICE CUBES) in the device in order for it to cool down your soda. Well, I've got a news flash for you - if I had ice cubes handy I could put them in my soda and be done with it. And ice cubes are much cheaper than this device.

So bear in mind this cooler is only useful if you have a real fridge near by and want to cool things fast. That's the only valid use-case. There you go.

I received my Cooper Cooler yesterday with much anticipation.After unpacking the unit I took three of my favorite wines to test fit. I found that the Chardonay I drink does not fit in the machine and neither did the Champagne, the slender bottles did fit. Since it seemed like the machine was about a half inch too narrow I called the company and explained my problem. I was told that they were aware that most Champagne will not fit and some of the new special format bottles will also not fit and the company is looking into a solution(make it a half or three quarters inch wider would seem a no brainer).Since I did not test its cooling capabilities I can only tell you that since I could not fit the wine bottles that I normally drink in the machine it did not work at all. Also I am still trying to figure out why anyone would buy this thing to cool a can of soda?

I have been looking for a product to chill my wine and beer fast for a long time. We just don't have the room in our refrig. to keep all our beer and wine. I have bought a Peliter chiller before, but they did not work. They never chilled my beverage cold enough. I bought this item because their website was specific about what temperature it can chill beverages to. When I received it and tried it on my beer and wine, I was shocked to see that it really chilled it ice cold based on the setting. If you want a cold beer or glass of wine and you do not have anything chilled, your options are to wait a long time in the refrig. or freezer (because you don't want to add ice to your beer or wine) or add some ice and water to the Cooper Cooler and have a drink within minutes. The Cooper Cooler is easy to use because all you have to do is press the button for what you are drinking and the machine does the rest and shuts off when your drink is cold. This machine solved our problem.
