Danby Deluxe Mini Fridge with Freezer (4.3cu.ft.) Review

Danby Deluxe Mini Fridge with Freezer (4.3cu.ft.)

I bought this from another retailer almost 9 years ago! Since then I've broken the freezer door off, but that's the only thing that has gone wrong. Every year or two you'll need to defrost the freezer, which is a pain. But that's not too bad considering the life of the product. The built-in can dispenser in the door is great and partially why I picked this model.

Haier HNSE05BB 4-3/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Refrigerator/Freezer, Black/Stainless Review

I purchased this refrigerator for my office. It is to be shared by a group of 5 people, so I wanted one that was a little bigger than the typical compacts. I paid for overnight deliverly as others had suggested. The unit arrived in a box that had been previously opened. I was a bit worried when I removed the item from the box. It had some large dents on the side, but was otherwise ok. Once I plugged it in, I realized there were bigger issues. The motor was very loud and was cycling constantly. It would run for seven minutes and then would be off for four minutes, then on for seven, off for four - yes I actually timed it. Everytime the unit came on it startled me. At first I thought that once the motor broke in, that it would become quiet. That did not happen. After having the unit for 24 hours and spilling a cup of coffee on my desk from my rattled nerves, I called Amazon for a replacement unit.
The new refrigerator arrived the next day. Once again, it arrived in a box that had previously been opened. The replacement had a large dent on the door, but otherwise works great. It is so quiet. I barely notice it when the motor is running. What a difference! I actually check it on occasion to make sure that it is working because I don't notice it at all. I switched doors with the first refrigerator and now I have a unit that has no significant dents and it doesn't interrupt my work environment. The actual refrigerator is nice looking and has a lot of interior space. After the experience with the first one, I am a bit concerned about the reliability, but for now, I am satisfied.

Small enough for a college dorm room, a studio apartment, or an office or workshop, this compact, freestanding refrigerator/freezer, with its 4-3/5-cubic-foot capacity, makes it easy to keep food and beverages properly chilled and neatly organized. The unit's half-width freezer compartment includes a handy ice-cube tray, while its refrigerator space provides three, adjustable, full-width glass shelves for storing fresh food. The refrigerator also supplies a full-width convertible drip/storage tray and three door shelves (two full-width and one half-width) that accommodate 2-liter bottles, gallon-size jugs, containers of yogurt, and more. For added convenience, its Dispense-a-Can storage space keeps a variety of favorite beverages easily accessible. Other details include manual defrost with a defrost drain, a rotary thermostat, adjustable leveling legs to balance the appliance if it sits on uneven ground, and a reversible door (can be hinged to open from the left or right side) with a recessed handle for a sleek look. Compressor cooled with a space-saving flat-back design, the compact refrigerator/freezer measures approximately 22-1/4 by 20-1/2 by 32 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator, Black and Stainless-Steel Review

Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator, Black and Stainless-Steel

... foregoing the two reviews about shipping damage, I thought I'd try ordering this product for several reasons:
1) The hi-res dealer images of it from Sanyo.com made it look like one sexy fridge
2) The energy rating was good
3) I knew if the product did arrive damaged, Amazon would replace it, or refund my money anyway
4) I have Amazon Prime, so I figured paying $3.99 for overnight shipping would also make the delivery people think this was a special product, since it was going overnight, and not being sent across the country via Ground shipping, and abused in the process.
Well, the product arrived today, and initially, I thought, "This can't be good."
The box was extremely tattered... and the top was ripped open. I also heard rattling as the FedEx man helped me carry it up the stairs. Then he left, without even getting a signature. Oh, and at my front door the FedEx man just dropped the box on the ground in front of me.
I opened the box upstairs, and saw horrible, horrible packaging, as others have mentioned. The box was all beat up, and several of the inch or less thick padding was cracked and damaged.
Luckily, the fridge seemed to make it through intact... no dents, and it worked. The rattling as I carried it was the compressor... I still don't know if this is normal though.
These fridges are indeed shipped on a pallet, you can see that from the shipping sticker from Sanyo to Amazon's Nevada warehouse. Three fridges per pallet. All Amazon does is stick a FedEx/UPS sticker on these boxes, and ship them off. If I didn't get this sent overnight, I can almost guarantee the fridge would've beat beat to hell going ground from Nevada to New York.
As for this part of the item description,
"To keep the refrigerator looking brand new, its stainless-steel door has a clear acrylic coating that eliminates fingerprints and is easy to keep clean."
Well, it won't be happening for me, as the clear acrylic coating came ripped halfway down the upper right corner of the fridge, so I really had no choice but to rip all the rest of it off.
The fridge works, and it DOES look amazingly sexy, but unless you have Prime, or want to pay for expedited shipping, this will almost certainly come damaged until Amazon decides to start packaging these adequately. And really, I don't see why they don't, because it's just a hassle for the end customer, and an expensive dime on their end to pay for return shipping, and then shipping again for a replacement.

Haier 3.9 Cu Ft Fridge W Full Sz Freezer Black Review

Haier 3.9 Cu Ft Fridge W Full Sz Freezer Black

To prolong the life on your fridge, you should read what must be done. This fridge has to be unplugged for 24 hours if it is EVER horizontal, probably with the liquids inside for the cooling system. Since the delivery men could have had it horizontal (assume that they did) or if they had it diagonal going up the stairs or whatnot, you should have it unplugged for 24 hours. After that, you have to have it on '4' setting for 24 hours.
Beware that the back can get pretty hot as its meant to take heat out of the fridge.
After that, the fridge seems to be working GREAT. Had it for about a month or so now and it is cold enough to make ice and freeze my ice pack on the '5' setting as well as keep my drinks cold. NOT a disappointment like the so called mini-fridges which are really mini coolers.
