Love It. This thing is perfect for my shop.

I bought this locally from Howards Electronics. I scored a floor model for $150. It had a little ding in the door, but I don't mind as its for my workshop anyway.

This is far bigger than most mini fridges. You could survive out of this if you were a bachelor or something.

I raised it up on an old end table that supports the weight well. I didn't need it on the floor, and bending over gets tiresome. Now its at the level of a real fridge but doesn't take up all that space and use that much power.

I have it loaded with a case of water and a couple 12 packs of soda at any given time. It keeps everything nicely chilled on a very low setting.

The freezer area is small, but could fit some frozen burritos and stuff. It's about the same size as a typical mini fridge freezer. You're not fitting a pizza in there unless its a tiny one.

Only complaint I have is the door doesn't stop from swinging all the way around. On other refrigerators, there's something built into the hinge mechanism that makes them swing out and stop. This one just keeps going all the way around. Not a really big deal, but you gotta be careful not to smack it into something next to it and dent the pretty stainless steel.

The front is actually steel, whereas some say they are and then you can't stick a magnet to the front of the door. (isn't steel ferrous?) This one holds a magnet just fine. I know we all like to hang crap on the fridge.. so go for it.
