Product review (5 stars): ... shipping package was the first thing that I really liked; it was pack sturdy
The shipping package was the first thing that I really liked; it was pack sturdy, but after cutting the two strong straps that were wrapped around it, you can slip/pull up the first outer box because there is no bottom.  Then, the second box has two more strong straps to cut, and again, you can slip/pull the box up because the bottom is a separate holder for the base of the frig.  Wonderful! I followed the directions as to placement and how to use...such as leveling, placement, and how long to wait to plug it into the electrical outlet, and how long to wait before adding items that you want chilled. The motor is quiet, and it cools down quickly.  I love it!!!
