I needed to be able to lock away my adult beverages and this fridge allows for that while keeping my libations as cool as the other side of the pillow.  it cooled down pretty quickly and stays chilly willy.  you can make your space look groovy with the blue mood lighting or not, whatever floats your boat.  it's as quiet as a smooth summer breeze whispering in your ear;  sometimes i have to check to make sure it's still on, but i'm always reassured by the frosty sensation as i wrap my hands around my favorite beverage.
