About Frigidaire EFR176-BLUE 1.6 cu ft Blue Retro Fridge
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
75% found the shelves and compartments convenient
I like the door storage as it fits my shakes perfectly.
82% appreciated its compact size and ample storage
The dimensions were exact to specifications and I had to measure different angles exactly due to metal supports on my shelf. There was no issue with my measurements and the size of the fridge.
The size of the refrigerator is just right for me. It's compact enough to fit perfectly in a corner of my room without taking up too much space, yet spacious enough inside to hold all my favorite snacks and drinks.
82% found it quiet to operate; however, 18% experienced occasional loud noises or buzzing sounds
The fridge is as quiet as every other mini fridge I've used. I had to move some wires to keep them from vibrating at resonance with the compressor when running.
The refrigerator runs quietly at a low hum.
I am happy to report that the compact-refrigerator is virtually silent, which was initially a concern for me.
I sleep fine with the compact-refrigerator coming on as its sound is not loud. I have no issues with white noise like fans and AC vents.

79% liked its energy efficiency; however, 21% noticed higher energy consumption than expected
I bought the unit because it is an actual refrigerator unit that uses less electricity and can freeze ice.
I personally measured the energy consumption of the refrigerator using a watt meter and found it to be energy efficient. The refrigerator was empty the whole time and turned on 6 times per hour for 5 minutes. The watt peak was 213 watts for only milliseconds and settled at 40 watts before turning off. Based on my experience, I can say that.
I am facing an issue with the compact-refrigerator where I can't get the freezer to near 0 degrees without the fridge area freezing liquids.
During 95f+ days, the fridge activates too often when the cold setting is at 2 out of 5.
85% appreciated the design; however, 15% found it less attractive in person
The retro design of my refrigerator is adorable with a fun and playful touch of vibrant blue color. It's like a blast from the past with a modern twist and perfectly complements my decor.
I like the design and aesthetics of the compact-refrigerator. It has a slight retro look and looks like the top half of a fridge.
I was disappointed that the teal color of the refrigerator did not match my comforter.
86% liked its cooling performance; however, 14% experienced occasional temperature fluctuations
I found that the compact-refrigerator cools very well even at a low setting and I had to adjust the cold setting to my needs. Based on my experience, I can say that it is a user-friendly refrigerator.
I am facing an issue with the cooling performance of the compact-refrigerator. Specifically, I am unable to get the freezer to near 0 degrees without the fridge area freezing liquids.
