If you're buying a mini refrigerator just to keep Beverage cold, this probably wouldn't be for you. If you think getting down to 34 or 35 degrees is good, there are plenty of units out there that will do just that at about a third of the cost of this one. If you're looking for something to keep Beer Ice Cold, this is exactly what you should have. Even though is will go down to 23 degrees, I have mine set at 30. (And at 30, the Beer is still more than cold and I can still keep other non alcoholic beverages in there without freezing. I Love this thing.
