Product review (4 stars): JUST DON'T EXPECT ICE
If you ever bought a mini-fridge with a "shelf freezer" the expectation is pretty much the same.  They are horrible at being freezers.  The only ice you will get is around the freezer coils.  Thus this is a manual defrost unit.  I keep two medium sized desiccants in the freezer unit in hopes of preventing frost, and not deal with defrosting the unit.  Only time will tell if it works.

This unit includes a 10 cube mini-ice tray. I left it in the freezer compartment over the weekend only to have three ice cubes form.  Turning up the 'fridge dial from the recommended 4 to 5 (out of 7) yields about 5 cubes a day later. The rest is still liquid water - not even frost.  It does not keep anything frozen inside the box.  Items must keep direct contact with the freezer coils and plate.  It did not keep a frozen fruit bar intact even when in direct contact with the plate.  The other side shows signs of mush.  My frozen burger with bun only stays frozen on one side.

On the plus side it has a soda can rack which also holds my healthy and delicious coconut water.  You can keep quite a few things on the door and inside the fridge with the expectation of a proper chill.  I keep a small box on the bottom filled with oranges which remain nice and cold.  Never cover the racks with paper or otherwise block the flow of air to prevent warm spots in the unit.  This depends solely on the concept of cold air falling to refrigerate and has no fan. Thus why the freezer is a bust.

The instructions say when you first turn on the unit to set it to the max of 7 a few hours until it reaches the proper cooling temperature.  I only did so a couple of hours and wonder if I did not "prime" the freezer function as a result.  I gave up on it being a freezer and set the dial back to 4 to keep the compressor from overworking for little return.  The manual says the lowest temperature you can achieve is 27 degrees F.  But I am not willing to freeze my regular food for the sake of ice.

I can not complain as it was bought for me in exchange for a big I.T. favor done for a work friend. All in all it runs very quite and is a great little 'fridge, just not very much of a freezer.
