Ivation 126 Can Beverage Refrigerator | Freestanding Ultra Cool Mini Drink Fridge | Beer, Cocktails, Soda, Juice Cooler for Home & Office | Reversible Glass Door & Adjustable Shelving, Stainless Steel

I bought this fridge after seeing my former workplace have one. It seemed neat, and didn't make much noise so, why not!I can say after buying it, it's very much worth the money. To give you some bullet points- Fridge SpaceI don't know how they did it in the preview image, maybe they bought the extra small sodas, but you cannot stand up soda's on the shelves. I've tried. They must be laid like my water bottles, and you can do 2 rows of that each shelf. So about... 1 case of soda a shelf. Pretty good I'd say! Bit awkward to reach but whatever. The bottom is spacious enough to stand 1 can of Monster, or alcohol, however not tall enough to fit a Water Bottle. I would stand my Monster up, however you can only fit about 2 rows of Monster at the bottom, the third row being... Questionable!- TemperatureA lot of reviews mentioned drinks exploding at 5 on the thermostat. 5 for reference, is the highest. I haven't stored soda in the bottom rack, and I certainly haven't chanced it, but since I've had this thing day 1, I run it somewhere around or above 4, and nothing has exploded. Actually, it cools really, really fast. I go through a lot of water when I'm home, so I'll end up constantly swapping bottles out with new ones. In the time I drink 2 bottles of water, the bottles I have replaced it with will have already chilled, it's that quick. At one point, due to the visible depth, I had propped up a single water bottle behind the row, on all shelves. Just for temperature. After doing this, ice formed on the lowest shelf. It's still there actually, and this is what I mean when I say I haven't chanced it. If you put your drinks too close, on too low a temp, you risk ice, which will inevitably explode your drinks. So beware of that. Finally, lets talk about the temperature adjuster... It's a dial. And when you stack soda like I have in this image, you actually can't get to it... It's in the bottom right of the fridge which is an odd design. You can find other fridges with LED thermostats that allow you to change time. This is just numbers on a dial... Kinda iffy on that but, whatever.- NoiseThe fridge makes an audible, but not too annoying noise? Perhaps I am too use to white noise, however I want to say at the interval of 1-4 times depending on your temperature every hour it will cool itself. During this process, it makes a low humming sound, similar to a vending machine. This noise ambient enough to be drowned out by literally anything else, but is definitely noticeable if you listen into it. It does this for about 5 or so minutes before idling. When idling, the fridge makes about as much noise as my PC, this is to say... Very quiet. It actually rivals my PC with how quiet it is.- Closing thoughtsIf you're looking for a fancy or neat looking cooler, this definitely takes the cake. It has minor flaws like the temperature dial being positioned where it is, but otherwise I've been very happy with my fridge. It's well insulated, comes with an LED light inside it at the top, and again is generally quiet. I think there are more... utilitarian fridges regarding the temperature dial, but other than that I recommend it only on the exception you have cash to burn.

I got this as a kimchi fridge (and other vegetables). I bought it based on my thought, "Wow 4.5 stars out of >1000 reviews! It must be great!!"It's not.I should have read the reviews. People talk about wildly variable temperatures. Interestingly, a lot of people said it doesn't get cold enough. I had the opposite problem: WAY TOO COLD.I set it up correctly:• Let stand for 3 hours after unpacking it.• Set temperature control to zero and plug it in.• Wait 5 minutes.• Then turn control to desired temperature.I set it to 3, and put a thermometer inside. After about an hour, the temperature plummeted to 28 degrees Farenheit. Holy cow.So I set it to 2. Two hours later: 29 degrees FarenheitThe I set it to 1. Two hours later: 32 degrees FarenheitThis is ridiculous. So I set it to 5 (the coldest setting) to see what happens.Welcome to the Arctic: 17 freeking degrees Farenheit.The item description says its lowest temperature is 34 degrees. Wrong.Great freezer. Awful refrigerator. It would have absolutely killed all my veggies if I didn't test it first.Needless to say, I'm returning it.(side note: Who was the brilliant engineer who thought it would be a good idea to put the light switch on the INSIDE of the fridge?)With all that said, the fridge looks nice and it was quiet.

awesome refrigerator so far, had it for a little over a month, I put it on my work boat, it stays fully stocked pretty much 24/7 with 5 crew members stocking theyre drinks daily, it will keep a fully stock fridge of drinks cold on just the number 2 setting, and it goes all the way to 5. And its so quiet yo I can't even hear it unless you put your ear to it. Plus it adds a little class with its front glass and inside light.UPDATE iv had the refrigerator almost a year now and it works amazing still. It gets very cold so you have to keep it between the 3 and 4 mark on the temp, or the coils will freeze up. But it keeps a fully stocked fridge of drinks nice and cold. Does exactly what you want in a mini fridge

I got this about a year ago for a new house. It was OK, and seemed to do an allright job. We had problems maintaining the temps-it would get into the 20s in the summer mornings, and burst cans-not a lot of fun. On top of that, it was NOISY. SO NOISY. Oh my god it was bad. I'd hear it kick on and rumble and vibrate and whine, and figured I was going to have to replace it when it prematurely died.Then I went on the internet and searched for causes of noisy drink fridges and I saw a few references to levelness. I looked at it and realized it was *way* high in front, tipping it back. I leveled it out and...just like that, the noise issue is 100% resolved. Not partially resolved, but it almost never makes a noise, and never makes enough noise that I'm worried about it these days.I don't know if the fridge will freeze over like it did last summer, because we're just entering into the hot months, but I haven't lost any cans due to freezing since last summer. It's pretty much in the upper 40s at all times. Not quite 40, but I don't wish to have to mess with the temp controls for months to get it closer to 40 for risk of freezing things again. 45-48 is pretty decent for drink temps.

This unit can get quite cold -- I has to turn the thermostat up because beers in the back were freezing. Nice unit for the price.Prior to this 'fridge, I had a similar unit from Whynter. It died after only 2 1/2 years. Very disappointing. The compressor units on both looked identical. Who knows how many beverage cooler brands are made in the same factory in China, with identical components.So, time will tell. I will report back on any premature failures..
