Day #3, all working as it should.  Easy enough prep.  Instructions written clearly enough. 
Temp set at midpoint creates 36*F empty frig environment.  Likely will change setting to maintain 39-40*F.  This will be a wine/beer/snacks frig outdoors (central FLA), a place for the extra 3 bottles needed for a party, and that extra 6 pack.  For a 2x price over the "regular frig", we expect performance and longevity.  More on that point as time goes by.
