It is very quiet, just a faint humming noise that you have to get right up close and bend over it to hear. I have it in the pantry, but could easily put it in my office.
It certainly gets cold enough. I like my beer cold, and, I have the unit set around 2/3 and it is nice and chilly, with plenty of control left to go colder. Items in the bottom shelf and door are cold too.
(I don't know what problem the other reviewer was having with items in the door not being cold enough. I do keep the fridge pretty full, so maybe that helps stabilize the temps, or, my unit is just not having that problem. So far, I haven't tried the freezer, e.g. for ice or ice-cream, so I can't comment on that).
Also, as far as I could tell, instructions didn't say anything about leaving it stand for 24 hours before running the first time (or after moving it and especially tilting), but I've seen that on other fridges, and I thought it was a good practise to follow, so I did.
I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered it with 1-day shipping, which seemed to have the desired effect as it came with no damage. $3 for 1 day shipping of a fridge is quite a deal - you have to love Amazon Prime!
I thought the packaging was basically sufficient as long as treated ok by the shipper, though it doesn't safeguard much against rough handling such as poking something into a side panel.
My wife said she could detect a faint smell at first, since it is in a small walk-in pantry where we usually keep the door closed, but I think that's all gone now.
I bought this one because of the energy rating (low enough), the size (big enough), and, the door wasn't dedicated to 12-oz cans like many of the others.
I'd buy this again!
