SPT 2.5 cu.ft Compact Refrigerator in Stainless
Customer Evaluations
I've had this fridge for about two weeks now and it is been actually great. I purchased it for my workplace and largely to stop me from eating out, so I had a few criteria. 1st, it had to be pretty small footprint, but big sufficient to shop a decent amount of true food, such as leftovers, some fruit veg, and supplies to make snacks with such as PBJ. Second, it had to have a real compressor, one particular that will cool well beneath the ambient temperature as the office creating gets pretty warm in the summer and I actually hate when food goes bad. Third, I did not want the unit to give up a bunch of space to a can delivery technique, considering that I do not drink frequently have canned drinks about. So, that's how I ended up at the SPT, it's the only a single I discovered that fits all these criteria. I'd in no way heard of SPT prior to buying this fridge and rather honestly, if it had the identical attributes as all the other fridges I'd observed (researched for two weeks), I in all probability would not have bought it. But, given that it had almost everything I was looking for, I decided to take a chance and I am glad I did.
First, the aesthetics it's a vertical rectangular shape, modestly appealing hunting, basically it looks like a compact black fridge with a stainless door. I was a bit shocked at the size, it is very a bit taller than I was expecting and the black does makes it appear a tiny monolithic. The unit really looks larger than it genuinely is, I was shocked to uncover that it fits nicely below my desk. The Stainless Steel finish on the door isn't fairly as polished as the vastly a lot more costly full-size GE fridge I've got at property, but I was pleasantly surprised at how superior it looked, primarily considering the price! This unit is solidly built and is surprisingly lightweight, which was good for moving it around the initially day, figuring out where it will need to go. The door, as shipped, opens on the left, but it looked like a fairly uncomplicated job to switch sides (have not necessary to) and SPT included added plastic inserts for covering up the holes ought to this be necessary, a good touch. Door was protected with plastic film and all 3 shelves and the ice maker had been taped down to prevent them sliding about.
On to functionality the fridge operates! It got the four iced teas I put in it ice cold inside only a few hours of becoming plugged in and I've got the unit set at four, the factory preset median setting and it operates amazing. Stuff down low in the fridge was kept nicely cold, the ham I place up close to the icemaker had frost in the package, but the meat wasn't frozen. Note to self, meat goes lower in the fridge. The lower door shelf holds 4 Honest Tea bottles, but the wire holder swings out to hold bigger items. The top door shelf is a tiny shorter and has a fixed bar, so PB J go up there. Inside shelves are produced of white plastic-coated wire and properly spaced. The freezer holds at least a trio of standard sized juice boxes it is wide, but not quite tall, so low items work very best. One other highly cool issue is, the power consumption rating for this fridge is basically beneath the lowest range on the chart. This tends to make it particularly efficient, which isn't a element for me, but I can see this getting a plus for somebody being challenged about its power consumption. Given how well it keeps my food cold, it ought to be really nicely insulated to realize such low consumption.
Issues of note:
1) This unit only has one particular leveling foot, at the front perfect corner. This is likely not a trouble for most many people, but my workplace floor is as flat as a Ruffles potato chip, so levelling the fridge expected shims below the front left foot.
two) Power cord is only about 5Ft lengthy, as soon as once more, not a issue in most offices, but I would honestly have liked a longer one. Extension cord to the rescue.
three) Unit is not silent, but it really is not loud either. Some individuals have complained about other fridges being loud, I don't uncover this 1 to be unpleasant, it is like low-level white noise in the background. If I get in early, I can hear the fridge, but as soon as the workplace wakes up, it really is inaudible.
4) Unit came rather well packed in an enormous box, strapped and taped closed. I was impressed, but I did have to lie the fridge on its side to get it out of the box.
five) This hasn't been a issue, but the manual says that will need to the fridge shed power, it will not come back on automatically.
I just received my mini fridge a handful of days ago, and it has live up to my standards. It is relatively very really and the inside is developed to fit alot of items. I would advise this item to any one!
