Was delivered on time and seems to be working well. However, it arrived with two serious scratches on the top, and the door did not line up. I fixed the door alignment myself by loosening the two hinges and adjusting, and am living with the scratches because the frig is in the garage. The scratches are a puzzle because the frig was double boxed (impressive) and the boxes were not damaged. So, it was scratched when it was boxed - not great quality control at the factory.

Great Little Fridge
Had this fridge for about a month now. So far, no problems. Keeps all my beer ice cold and works great. I have it in a built in BBQ island and it's covered so hopefully I won't run into any problems soon. My last fridge that I just replaced was about 30 years old and still ran great, but the rust was getting so bad that the door wouldn't shut correctly anymore. Let's just hope I get another 30 years out of this one. :-) I do know that these little fridges still need a lot of air flow, and my bbq has vents on the side to allow for this. Don't box in your fridge in a really tight spot where the air can't flow in the back and then expect it to work great for very long. Pro's: Light weight, lots of room inside (no ice compartment), has a light inside. Keeps things ice cold. Con's: Non yet.

At the 5 setting, the best the fridge gets is 50 degrees. I could get it in the 40-49 degree range at it's highest setting. It is outside on the lanai out of any direct sunlight.. So it really can't be used for food storage for any extended time.Other than the inside temperature, the rest is good.

A frostless mini fridge in this size is hard to find. This one fits the bill. It is a great maintenance free addition to the island in our kitchen!

This was a nice mini-fridge for indoor/outdoor use; however...... the shelving inside the door was almost totally useless for bottles and cans. The wire keepers fell down too low and let the cans and bottles fall out! Plus, the two main shelves were rather flimsy wire, not glass. For the money, we expected better shelving. My fault, I should have reviewed the fridge more, I returned the unit within a few days and bought another product. Home Depot was great about the return process.

It doesn’t get the drinks very cold, but it is being kept outdoors and uncovered at present. I’ve only had it for a couple weeks so I can’t speak to durability.

The fridge that was sent was not “Bullet” brand it was “Urban Island”. Same fridge just rebadged.However, this fridge barely cools at all. The fridge I replaced it with (Danby)was in the same spot for 9 years and kept things really cold. It’s barely been 80 degrees out. No good. Do NOT recommend!

Works as expected. The extra fridge space, since there is no freezer, is a definite bonus.

wanted a refrigerator without a freezer so it would not get all iced up and have to be defrosted all the time.....this was a good price however it does collect frost on the back and it does not seem as cold when this happens?

This refrigerator would not cool below 40F and at this temperature the outside of the door displayed condensation. Manufacturer is sending a replacement unit and we hope it performs adequately.

    I purchased this unit to replace an identical unit that was 7yo & running great but the door was rusting (stainless steel, go figure). The new unit came with 2 large stickers adhered to the front of the door. One was the usual Energy Saving propaganda and the other was to tell the owner to remove the "Plastic Protective Film" on the front of the door before installing. Having dealt with protective film on other products we searched for a loose edge of the film to use to remove the film but after looking and trying everywhere we gave up and called the Bull support number and talked to 2 different associates who both insisted the film was there and to try picking at it near the edges as it is wrapped "very tight". That didn't work so I finally concluded that the film didn't existed. I guess somebody forgot to tell the guy at the factory in China to put the protective film on before he slapped the stickers on - or maybe they ran out of film on the assembly line that day. I then tried to remove the 2 labels that were on the front of the door and found they must have stuck them on with super glue. I finally gave up but after looking at the labels for a couple of weeks I decided to Google "remove stickers from Stainless Steel refrigerator door" and found that WD-40 was the recommended product. I spent well over 30 minutes spraying with WD-40 and carefully picking at the edges of the labels with my fingernails and was finally able to remove both labels with only minor fingernail scuffs on my new door. If there had been a protective film on the door believe me after 30 minutes of soaking with WD-40 & picking with my fingernail some evidence of it would have shown up. I ask you - if a manufacturer's production and quality people can't even apply the protective film, or detected it is missing, what other more important manufacturing items and defects did they miss or mess up that are going to show up a month, or a year, after the limited warranty expires? - And there problems then become my problems.

    Loving this fridge. The looks of the stainless steel door distinguishes this unit vs. others in it's class that have fake plastic looking material. I like that its just a fridge without that chinsey "freezer" compartment (that turns into a hassle with other models). Swapping the door "delivery" so it hinges the other way was easy. Very glad I spent a bit more and got this one! Looks and works excellent.

    Too expensive
    I was willing to pay a little more for an "outdoor" refrigerator, but this is nothing more than an expensive mini-fridge. The company logo peeled off within 36 hours of being outdoors. Once I changed the door swing from left to right over to right to left the door hangs up on the light switch. The feet are made of cheap plastic and are difficult to adjust. Only time will tell if it lasts outdoors better than any other mini-fridge.

    Shelves are worthless!!!
    The shelves are so cheap and flimsey the cans and bottles keep falling over. The frig fits perfectly and looks great. However, since the shelves are worthless, the frig becomes worthless.

    Repeat purchase of same product.
    I bought this because I bought one 7 yrs. ago and I wanted to put it in the outdoor summer kitchen and knew it would fit in the exact space the old one had be in. Measurements are not accurate. My expense is more then I paid for the refrigerator.

    Little adjustments make this a good product
    I have recently purchased this product for convenience in my room. I read all the other reviews and most of the things other people found wrong with it only takes a little thinking to overcome it's short falls. The door storage can be corrected by just shortening the holding bar to meet your needs. The shelving problem is easily corrected with some thin plexi glass cut to fit the space and a few holes drilled to provide ventilation.

      Not at described on-line
      I have previously reviewed this purchase and asked to be contacted, I have not been contacted. The advertisement for the product stated that it was an outdoor refrigerator and upon reading the owners instructions, it says that the refrigerator should be operated between 60 and 90 degrees, hardly outdoor. It also stated that the refrigerator was ideal for a BBQ station but the owners manual said that the refrigerator should be free standing and not exposed to the elements. Lastly, I stated that if the refrigerator fails, I expect a full refund since you sent me something other than was advertised.
