My decision for a compact refrigerator was a double door design. Separate freezer and refrigerator.
I highly recommend this product and this brand (Air Purifiers USA). After ordering the product, I contacted the manufacture (via the email confirmation details), and asked about the color options. White on white vs. Stainless on black. (I read them on the product description page, but was not able to make the selection during checkout). The gentlemen suggested putting the order on hold for 2 hours, he then contacted the warehouse, determined availability, and called me back and I selected Stainless on black. The order arrived in 3 days using regular shipping and the box was very well packaged. In fact, the original packing carton was inserted into a slightly larger carton (with good padding) and the entire packing was first rate.
The refrigerator is a thing of beauty. A full size look in a compact size unit. Stainless front with black box. The top has a convenient molded tray, designed to be used as a 'spill proof' counter top. The topside is large enough to hold coffee maker, cups, etc. and will never scratch.
Time will tell if this unit will perform as expected. My confidence is high and I am a very pleased customer.

I bought a slightly different model 1 year ago. It has worked superbly all the time. So, why do I bother to write the review NOW ? Because of Customer Support. I needed to move the fridge to another location, and re-hung the doors from hinges-on-the-right (the way it came from the factory) to hinges-on-the-left. When I was done, the freezer door was slightly misaligned and did not close properly. I called their 800 number; it is busy much of the time (it is either busy, or a person answers, no waiting), but it was worth retrying. When I got through to a person, HE ACTUALLY WALKED ME THROUGH THE STEPS NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM on the phone; no charge, no hassle (and he spoke flawless American English, as opposed to me). I am so impressed that I felt compelled to write this review. These guys can sell me any of their equipment any time.

After lots of research, I decided to get a fridge with separate freezer and refrigerator components because I read that having a freezer inside the fridge compartment will make either the fridge too cold or too warm depending on how you dial the setting. This fridge got compliments for its looks in my office, and works great! So quiet, I don't notice it's there! The freezer freezes ice cubes and the refrigerator keeps my food cold. The dial was easily set so that the fridge is not warm but not so cold that it freezes the food. I was even impressed that the dial could be set so cold that my food got frozen in the fridge section!

pros
-stainless steel front
-2 doors
-very quiet
-larger than expected/roomy
-keeps items cold
-light inside
-comes with mini ice tray/holder

cons
-can holder is useless to me
-doesn't hold a quart of milk in the side door
-doesn't have a lock

Great controls over temperature for the fridge. Lots of fridge space and quiet operation.

I bought this fridge in spring of 2004 for a camper.

As such, I used it for 6 months of the year, in season, and then it sat idle for the other 6 months.
It is well laid out, doesn't seem to frost up excessively, and, overall served us well
The compressor froze up in Oct. of 2007. That's 2 years of actual use.
That kind of life span is totally unacceptable. Maybe the other choices of this class of fridge are no better, but I'll never buy a Sunpentown again.
Totally disappointed!

a truly great product. Real cold from a small unit. great freezer, great price and good looks....

I am a college student and I got this fridge freshman year. It works great and I enjoy the separate fridge/freezer. Does not draw a lot of power either.
It recently decided to stop working on me only after 3 years. It just stopped cooling inside.

I have used the product since I bought it about a year ago. Anytime I want a cold turkey sandwich while in my room, it's there. I don't have to walk all the way downstairs to get it. A little night-time snack and a cold drink is an arm-stretch away. Even popsicles and ice cream stay frozen and don't get freezer burnt.

I bought the Sunpentown double-door refrigerator for my son who just moved into his dorm at college. I asked him what he thought and he gives this product great reviews. He is very happy with it and said it keeps everything cool. He is able to keep things for in-between meals or for those moments when he barely has time to make it to class.
