Product review (3 stars): Perfect for small kitchens. Noisy. Fit and finish issues.
Ok folks, I love the style, the size and the fact it forces you to buy smarter at the grocery, however, it has some real problems. I have lived with this unit for at least 4 years and bought it through A.J.Madison.
- it is noisy. It has a tap,tap,tap that could drive you crazy. I solved the issue and you can read the solution under the review by Alison B Alison.
- The power cord should have a 90 degree tap on the end so as to allow you to push the fridge as far back against the wall as possible.
- The plastic bins in the freezer fall apart quite easily. Regardless as to how gentle you are, they will come apart and you will then have to snap them back together.
- The drip tray in the back needs a better design. It is somehow suppose to sit on top of the compressor but it flops around like a dead chicken neck.
- The glass shelves are fastened inside a white metal frame which is then coated in an enameled paint. The metal frames break. I went to Home Depot and bought 1/2 inch aluminum channel stock and slid the glass shelves into the channels. You find the aluminum stuff at Home Depot in the screen door repair department. It can be cut with a hack saw and then file off any burrs. Yes, I know it is a Hillbilly solution, but it works.

I am giving this unit 3 stars because 4 is too many and 2 isn't enough, in a perfect world I would give it 2.5 stars. We really like the style of the fridge and redesigned our entire kitchen around the idea of a narrow fridge. We are a pair of empty nesters and the size fits our needs, but I seriously doubt an American family of four could get by with such a small freezer compartment.
