I purchased this fridge about 10 months ago. It works quite well, keeps everything nice and cold. However, there's one issue that leads me to question long term reliability.
When the compressor turns off, it's accompanied by an annoying loud, metallic "click". When I first got the fridge, the sound was a fairly quiet, muffled "thump", but it grew louder over the next 10 months. In my experience, refrigerators develop a loud click on compressor turn-off only after quite a few years of use; then, it's just a matter of time before a part failure occurs.
I had chosen "Super Saver" delivery, but since the stated delivery time , after I placed my order, increased from a few days to over a month, I emailed Amazon about this and they then amended my order to have the fridge sent via overnight delivery, at no extra charge to me. I received the fridge soon thereafter, and without any of the dents or damage that others have mentioned. I've found Amazon's customer service to be, in most cases, excellent.
UPDATE : September 10, 2006
Well, the metallic click on compressor turn-off stopped several months ago and the fridge has been working pretty well since then, staying pretty quiet. True, there's some slight icing in some food stored on the top shelf, but it's not bad enough to cause me any aggravation.
The tiny freezer compartment doesn't keep ice cream firm, it stays somewhat soupy. (Yes, the freezer will fit pints sized containers of ice cream). But it does keep my bottles of aquavit and gin nearly icy cold, and ice cubes frozen.
Everything in the fridge still stays well chilled, nothing to worry about, there.
So overall, I'd say that this fridge does a more than adequate job. I've no regrets about purchasing it.
