    I had read multiple reviews on Amazon of this product arriving damaged and Amazon reportedly being non responsive to attempts to return. This is what led me to looking into Best Buy instead and the reviews there indicated far less incidents of damage as well as more customer friendly return and exchange policies. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. The product arrived intact and has been running efficiently and keeps the items cool not to mention it is totally cute! I have always been satisfied with my Best Buy purchases.

    Bought this for my new outdoor kitchen where it's covered & not exposed to the elements except temp changes. It has held up very well & keeps the beverages, etc... cold! I've had another Frigidaire mini fridge from old home that after 15 yrs still works great. I ONLY bought this one for the newness & love the color & retro look. I get a lot of compliments on it. The pic shows my setup during build, please excuse the mess. But it's a nice feature.

    Neat looking fridge, but listed width is wrong

    Neat looking fridge. The description dimensions are wrong though: it's listed as 21.5" wide, but the unit is actually 18" wide x 18" deep x 33" tall. (Maybe they're including the width of the attached bottle opener? But even with that, the unit is about 19" wide.) So I replaced my old fridge with one that is smaller - a bit of a bummer, but oh well, it looks cool.

    I originally purchased the moonbeam edition and it arrived, but was damaged. I thereafter ordered the white edition, hoping it came from somewhere else and wouldn't be damaged, but the quality is much lower on this one. Instead of the pretty smooth design, the top and sides look like any other cheap standard mini fridge. Overall disappointed. Unsure if I want to order the moonbeam again.

    Color Blind or Not Paying Attention

    The pink fridge was a Christmas gift unfortunately the wrong color was delivered the coral color was shipped. And instead of the person hustling to return it they just kept it. Its call paying attention ESPECIALLY when someone paid for something and its someone's job to do very careless! That's why items really need to sold in the store and I requested for the fridge to be shipped to the store and I was told it couldn't maybe the mistake could've been caught ahead of time. I dont think I'll be ordering anything else that would have to be shipped.

    The fridge works great but it has physical damage upon arrival, and not because the carrier but because of the companies lack of foam to protect it. I was aware of the problem because of the reviews but I thought Best Buy would have addressed this issue already.

    This is a cute little fridge perfect for beer and soda. it did, however, arrive with a couple minor dents. Customer service was very helpful in offering me solutions to remedy the unfortunate situation. Color slightly different from online photo… I expected more of a turquoise color, but it is more like a sky blue . Not a big deal. It will serve its purpose just fine.

    I love this fridge, it's perfect for a small room or office and is reliably cold... but there are a few drawbacks. The freezer compartment is an afterthought, unless you really crank up the coldness it'll do little but keep already frozen things frozen, and end up just building frost. The handle is fragile, so make sure to screw it down tightly, as it was a bit wobbly when first assembled. Otherwise it's definitely worth the price, especially since it'll set off any room you put it in.

    The handle was difficult to put on as it does not just slide right in. I had to use a hammer to get it on while I had the refrigerator on its side. Doing this cost me to put a little dent by the handle. The color seems like a brighter turquoise than the picture. Plan to use it to store my cakes to cool before decorating them and to store my small decorated cakes. Both shelves are about 15.5” L x 10.5” W inches.

    Disappointing color choice and Best Buy stock

    We ordered this mini fridge so that we could run it off of a solar generator during power outages. Received the product damaged with a dent in the door. Also, the color is significantly different than pictured as it is a baby blue. This fridge turned out to be a disappointment, and an ever bigger disappointment is that Best Buy is no longer selling any Fridgidaire mini fridges, so there was no option for replacement or exchanged.

    Purchased this for my wifes office, who loves it! And is the perfect size for what she needs. Would give five stars as there are a few things I wish it it had; adjustable legs for both sides and a handle that actually opens to open the fridge (the handle is just a plastic arm and was disappointing to learn it wasn’t like the old fashion handles). Otherwise a great buy!

    Super cute. And appearance was everything was I could ask for. However, the Fridge came heavly damaged. Dents. Dents were to bad it affected the door use. I even tried leveling the adjusting the door hinge but it was no use. Tried to get support from Best Buy and that was a joke. Just beware. I really wanted this fridge but I ended up having to return and buy a competitor fridge from another business that i really like!

    Wrong color

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I ordered the bold pink color and received this paler pink shade instead. A little confused because this shade wasn’t even an option, nor was it was I ordered. Still super pretty and I might prefer it, works well and it’s actually pretty nice. Gotta take a star away for it being the wrong color though.

    Very cute and looks good in the bar. Unfortunately arrived damaged inside of the box. The people that work in the warehouse need to be gentler on the merchandise. This one was replacing one that was severely damaged and had to be returned. The second one had minor damaged.
