First of all, this is a BUDGET beverage refrigerator under $200. We all know we get what we pay for...People who want an automatic light and a whisper quiet motor need to purchase a more expensive model. That being said, for less than $200 this refrigerator is a good deal. We liked it so much in fact that we ordered another and were willing to pay $15 more, as we ordered the first one on Prime Day at a lower cost.
If you compare this to other models in the same price range, you will find that this one is not lacking in features. If loaded properly, it gets cold and stays cold. (Unlike the Danby model, similarly priced...Those reviews say people actually had to hack into the thermostat and manually change it to get a cool temp.) This refrigerator is not what I would consider noisy. Occasionally you can hear the motor running, but it is barely noticeable. (Our Bosch dishwasher is 3x as loud as this refrigerator. As I type this review, I am 10 feet away from the refrigerator and it is silent.)
The shelves are sturdy. *I compared this model with the next pricier model and the only difference I could see was that the $250 refrigerator has many good reviews and 5 shelves while this model has 4 shelves. This model works fine for my needs with only 4 shelves. Yes, the shelves are metal, but one would expect that in this price range.
The front 'legs' of the refrigerator are adjustable to obtain perfect leveling.
It doesn't bother me that the light switch must be turned on and off manually...The switch is conveniently located and it's easy to turn on and off. For this price, it isn't a deal-breaker. (And for the reviewer who was upset about this...The light mechanism is clearly described in the product information.)
I did not have any problems registering the product like one of the reviewers had. The model was listed on the website and the whole process took 90 seconds. (I will say that you need to upload a JPEG file of the receipt. I initially took a screenshot of my Amazon receipt and tried to upload the screenshot, but it wasn't JPEG. I took a picture of the receipt and uploaded that, instead.)
I will update this review if we have any problems, but I couldn't find a better value and look for the price. If this product stops functioning after the warranty expires, I will consider purchasing a model in a different price range...But for less than $400 we got two decent looking, well-functioning beverage refrigerators.
