Product review (4 stars): Yes, A Great Beer Fridge
Have owned this unit for a bit over 3 yrs. Yes, it's a great beer fridge & we used much like an ice chest for parties; so it got heavier use than average. Many of the issues of the 3 star reviews are right: the outsides get hot in Summer (almost enough to fry an egg on), it doesn't feel like it fully closes sometimes, it's been difficult to find sweet spot on the temp control dial. Recently had an issue where the unit stopped cooling effectively; even at coldest setting it only got to 40. Called about having it repaired; it would cost as much as I paid for it. I unplugged it figuring we'd be getting a new one. For some reason I plugged it back the next morning, within an hour it was back to new again = it had to reset = an electronics issue. Overall, a decent (larger) compact fridge at a decent price. I recommend a refrigerator/freezer thermometer (Taylor makes a good one). Expect some issues. Giving it 3 + 1 stars b/c this little fridge "redeemed" itself.
