5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good, September 6, 2008

I just got this fridge and plugged it in last night. I loaded it up with six vials and it's working fine. I bought it because my insulin was freezing in my fridge. I assume there's something wrong with the fridge, as it's also freezing the eggs. Not good. I've thrown away about $100 worth of insulin since then (and only about $2 worth of eggs), and my BG has been too high for a month or two, probably thanks to the slightly frozen insulin. I've checked the vials a few times to see if they're freezing in the Medi-Fridge IIx, but they're not. Thank goodness.

The bottom plate inside is painted metal, which is the part that gets cold. The black foam insulation that you see at the top of the door had already fallen free from the double-sticky tape that was in there, so I pressed it back into place. I'll probably have to get some more tape to make it stay. It's a little bigger than it looks in the advertising picture, but it fits fine on my bathroom counter.

I was not expecting the fan to run as often as it does. It seems to be on more than it's off, even with the AC running in the house and the temp at 72 degrees F. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a nuisance. It's not too loud, but I can hear it running while I'm in the shower, which also isn't too quiet. Slept through the night without noticing it, though, so time will tell.

I'll be using the Medi-Fridge IIx on a trip to Europe soon, so if it doesn't go well, I'll post again. Meanwhile, the first 24 hours have been just fine. My wife says, "It's cute," and the kids agree. I don't know about cute, but I have hope that it'll save me continued trouble with frozen, ineffective insulin.

Also, I want to find a thermometer that I can put in there to gauge the overall temperature, perhaps one I can stick to the foam on top of the unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Medi fridge Micro Refrigerator, August 8, 2008

By	M. Dittmer "Ditt" (Keokuk, IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this fridge in anticipation of a trip to visit family. The fridge was great in the car for the 700 mile trip and great in the hotel. At home it allows us to keep insulin in the bathroom close to all the other supplies i.e. syringes, test strips and testing meter. Saves time and steps.

5.0 out of 5 stars medi-fridge IIx Micro-Refrigerator, April 26, 2009

By	Med-User "MU" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

Micro refrigerator does just what was promised. It keeps my meds at about 40 F when plugged into the wall. I havn't tried it in the car yet. It is great for my peace of mind on trips, since I have a fall back if the "promised" refrigerator in the room doesn't materialize.
