5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Small Fridge EVER, May 20, 2010

Every other small refrigerator seems to come with a useless tiny freezer and frosting problems. Not this one!!! It's high-tech, inexpensive, and absolutely perfect for a small dorm room or office. Apparently it uses a different cooling system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avanti 1.7 cu ft superconductor refrigerator, May 23, 2010

Let me just say that this little frige is well worth the money. I purchased mine at an appliance store and the sales person tried to talk me out of it. He said it probably wouldn't get things very cold. We did not find a lot of feedback from customers on-line, but I decided to trust my luck. I am glad that I did. Even on the medium setting my pop and water are kept very cold. The frige is very quiet. I wish it was a little smaller, but it is very light weight and since there is no compressor the inside space is maximized and it fits a lot of stuff.

Great little frige!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as quiet as I thought, April 19, 2011

This review is from: SHP1700W Refrigerator (Kitchen)

I bought this fridge for work because it is supposed to be really quiet. Even though it does not have a compressor, the noise from the fan is noticeable (certainly louder than what I expected). The back of the body is cheaply made (the bottom is even worse), it is made out of a sheet of soft metal, so sometimes the vibrations from the fan will make some really annoying metal noise, and the pitch changes every time. It is hard to stop it because the metal is so soft. I tried to hold it to stop the vibration, but it did not work.

I compared my fridge with my coworker's traditional fridge, without the vibration noise from the sheet metal it is still not quieter than the traditional fridge. But if a traditional fridge is made out of cheap material, they may have the same problem. So, I don't want to give this fridge a bad review. I think 3 stars is fair.

Space: I am impressed how spacious the interior is because it does not have a compressor.

Cooling: I was using "Medium" setting and I was happy with it. Then I tried "Low" setting, it is not much different than "Medium" setting.
