Product review (4 stars): However when I unpacked it there was a pretty good dent under the cardboard that showed no signs ...
If Avanti plans on making more of these, I hope they will deal with the shipping damage.  My boyfriend and I had a huge fight over this refrigerator.  When it arrived, the UPS driver and I went over the package.  I could see damage to the packing.  The driver said he thought it was just a slice on the foam at the bottom from forklift.  Looked about  right.  When I unpacked it, the flimsy packing sort of fell off, never to be repacked in that material.  I had examined the cardboard on the sides and none of the cardboard had taken a hit.  However when I unpacked it there was a pretty good dent under the cardboard that showed no signs of being hit.  Not nice.

So, the shipping is an issue and cost a star.

That said, the unit is perfect size.  It is the same body that comes on a more expensive Summit unit.  Very well designed.

You must follow instructions, which I had not seen this way before:
1.  The unit is not kept upright from the factory to you.  Avanti suggests waiting two hours before plugging it in.  I waited 3 days.  The oil needs to settle.
2.  This is the only instruction printed bold, all caps and underlined:  leave five inches space from any wall.  This was no problem for me.
3. Run the unit on high -- 7 -- for 24 or 48 hours.  I'm at 24 and going for 48.  Of course everything is frozen solid.  What I am noticing is that the unit is getting quieter and quieter by doing this.

At this point, you couldn't take this away from me.  It's what I needed.  But my boyfriend is still mad at me for accepting it. : (
