Answer This Question

A:  Can’t answer on shipping. I did the store pick up. It’s surprisingly light weight and I could handle it myself. I can say it’s a great little unit. We’ve had are on the lanai here in SWF for a year. Works great. Keeps the Frappuccino and sodas ice cold. Also pitches in as an overflow frig when needed.

                by|May 5, 2023

                    A:  No, it isn't supposed to do that. Mine does too. I cannot put anything on the top shelf in the back because it freezes. If you turn the temperature of the fridge down to stop the formation of ice, then other things placed in the fridge are not cold enough. I did not buy an extended warranty so I can't do anything. If you did, I would call and ask about service.

                    A:  Mine does this also. I just defrosted it. I thought it was a frost free but it is Manual defrost.. it doesn’t take long to defrost it.

                    by|May 5, 2023

                      A:  it is normal for small amounts of ice droplets on the inside back ,if it becomes too much ice in the freezer its time to clean

                      by|May 5, 2023

                        A:  Most mini refrigerators and freezers do not have circulation or exhaust fans. The heat is released through the sides and rear of the unit. Did you allow 5 inches of clearance on both sides and the rear? If not, this can be one cause of the situation you find yourself in.

                        A:  Inside or outside? Inside the temp may be set too low but please there needs to be room around the things in the fridge for the air to circulate. Mine does not have this problem. Hope that was helpful.

                                        A:  It is plastic panels that look very much like brushed stainless steel, but are not affected by fingerprints or stains. They easily wipe clean with just a bit of soap and water or household cleaner.

                                                  A:  Sorry, I am not sure. It runs on 120 VAC in our bedroom. We used the freezer post surgery for ice packs and have kept it for convenience. As long as you are on 120 VAC, I would say you would be fine. It works perfect and will get extremely cold if you want it to. Barry

                                                                      A:  The freezer is small 1.2 cf total capacity. The refrigerator is a total of 3.1 cu. ft. for a combined total of 4.3. This unit is small but can handle a couple of bags of groceries and the freezer will handle a couple of containers of ice cream and an ice tray or 2. Not a big unit, but for the need I have with these units they are great. I've purchased 6 so far and will purchase more as I need them.

                                                                        A:  There is a mistake: refrigerator capacity is only 3.2 cubic feet, plus 1.1 freezer = 4.3 overall capacity. Actually interior refrigeration is 12" x 16" x 24", with an additional 4" on door. Good features are 6 capacity can rack on door, and .4 cubic foot vegetable storage. 2 ice cube trays included, if you like mini-ice cube. Quiet, semi-self defrost..

                                                                          A:  The freezer dimensions are as follows: W:12 in D:10.5 in H: 8 in. And the refrigerator dimensions are: W:12 in D:11 in H:21 in

                                                                            A:  The numbers are correct...the freezer is obviously about 1/3 the size of the refrigerator section. I would recommend buying it assembled, with the door hinge on the side you want it to be. Changing the door, at home, to open the opposite way takes a real master mechanic!
