Love love love my mini frig , I had bought a different one before this one from somewhere else,  it literally quit in less than 2 months,  this one now is almost a year old and still works amazing , perfect for my new kitchen , I did put it in between cabinets,  but left plenty of space around it to allow for air flow , its next to a blind corner cabinet and and I left that cabinet open on the back area so there is plenty of air flow space,  I will buy another one to put in our basement by the bar !!!
