Good for the price
2 months, so far so good. First one I ordered was damaged. Second one was ok, though it did also have a very small dent in the back (not visible). For the price, hard to beat. It does occasionally make gurgling sounds which I've never heard from a fridge and it worried me initially. I thought there was something living inside. It helped me cut my electricity bill in less than half to take out a 40 year old fridge that was long overdue for replacement. I flipped the door hardware as well.

    worst appliance purchase ever
    First of all it took over a month to deliver. The delivery company calls stands us up 4 times. When the refrigerator shows up it’s obviously damaged so my wife refused deliver . The deiver says he doesn’t care we can return it. We live 120 miles one way from a Home Depot. So he drops it at the end of our driveway by the road 300ft from the house. Contacted home depot 3 times. Its still by the road noone had came to pick it up and we have no refrigerator or refund .

      The white one is nice!
      I’m impressed for the quality of this fridge for the sale price of $300! The white looks nice and has multiple shelves! The new version is garage ready! Make sure the box says it! The old box did not say it and I had to ask them to get the new box down from the shelves (I knew by reading reviews there could have been an older version) so happy with my purchase!

        Freezer sucks/see my pictures
        I bought this fridge due to its reasonable price and perfect fit for my basement bar. Ice cubes are constantly in a state of thaw and re-freeze, which caused the cubes to melt into one giant ice cube. Freezer goes from -8to +22 in a matter of hours, all day everyday! I’ve attached pictures to show what I mean. The little thin consistent line is my more expensive “main fridge/freezer” and the huge fluctuations are when I put the thermometer in the magic chef.

          Arrived damaged
          My recent Home Depot purchase ended in disappointment. The fridge I bought arrived with noticeable dents on one side, compromising its appearance. The customer service resolution was slow and inefficient. This experience questions Home Depot's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Caution to potential buyers: check products thoroughly upon delivery.

              Produce trays fall out and break
              The clear plastic produce drawers on the bottom of the frig. are not on a track and have no stops so when you pull them out to get produce out of the back of the drawer it will fall out and break the plastic. Creates a harmful situation in that if you aren’t carefully the cracked drawer will cut your hand once it is cracked.

                  Apparently not actually garage ready
                  I wanted a medium fridge for my garage. Home Depot's product description said this would fit the bill. But lo and behold, when the fridge arrived the manual says very clearly NOT to put this fridge in a garage. Strangely, the manual I received is different than the manual on the product page, so you couldn't even have figure out the product description is incorrect if you wanted to be thorough. Its keeping my things cold, but sure is disappointing I cannot be sure of its longevity. Buyer beware!

                    Swapped out RV refrigerator.
                    The 7cf Dometic refrigerator in our RV died and once I found out the cost of a similar replacement gas/electric refrigerator I started looking for options. This Magic Chef had the same width and only slightly taller, and being a third the price of a Dometic I decided to give it a try. In my case there was some space both above and below the Dometic that was just dead space. All I had to do was remove the platform the Dometic rested on so that the Magic Chef would fit.

                      Pleased with Purchased
                      Researched sizes, watched a video. Ordered, Hubby drove 150 miles & picked frig up @ Home Depot, Cordele Ga. (laided in truck)and unloaded standing up inside RV in Fla. He waited 24 hours to install. Good fit, went thru front door, installed by himself. Cooled quickly. Was on sale and happy its frost free. The doors open to the left, perfect. Saved a great deal versus 3 way refrigerator.

                      Very nice refrigerator
                      This is a very nice little refrigerator. We purchased it to have as extra room. Most reviews talked about it not freezing well. It freezes very well and its on regular setting. The freezer is deep and has nice room in the refrigerator area. Very pleased with the purchase.

                        So great we bought two!
                        We use this refrigerator for in-laws suites in a big house in the desert. We saw that they were slightly more expensive than most “countertop mini-fridges” that you would see in a little hotel room, so we got these instead and placed them on 36”x36” tiles. They’ve been phenomenal and they’re used daily. The only subtle changes we’d ask for would be a way to close the vegetable draws humidity’s trap individually, rather than simultaneously and then some minor adjustments to the door configurations, so that water bottles and two liters could be arranged in different way by the end user. But the current setup is phenomenal and those changes would only raise the price, so this setup is more than enough. It should be an industry standard at this point and I hope to keep seeing them in every Home Depot for years to come. It’s wild that a little fridge got us this happy.

                        Great fridge
                        We purchased this to replace a combination gas/electric camper refrigerator. It fit with just a small adjustment and it has loads of features. We like it so much that we are getting another one.

                          Great for small spaces and garage
                          The fridge is perfect for small living spaces and or a garage. Bought this after my very expensive whirlpool fridge (that wasent even 4 years old) broke. My expensive whirlpool fridge was in my garage (I put it on there after a remodel) This will work perfectly for what I need it for. Tried to go a few months without a garage fridge and it just isn’t working for our family. If you want something inexpensive that does the trick this is the fridge for you. I’m 5’4 and the fridge is just at my chin

                            RV Replacement Refrigerator
                            This was an exact match in dimensions to replace the refer in my 34 foot 5th wheel RV. It was about 1/4 inch shorter than the original so all I had to do was add a piece of trim to the top and a stop plate to the bottom to keep it snug in it's place. Very Happy..

                              I bought this as a garage fridge for water and freezer overflow from my kitchen. Works perfectly, I had the doors reversed to fit my garage configuration. Has plenty of storage, even has a butter/ egg compartment. Would work in an apartment.

                                  Went out right after 1 year warranty
                                  We had this fridge for about 4 months and had to call in a repair. The repair guy fixed the issue - it was getting ice in vent. Then last week it went out - blowing warm air! Warranty just ended - cheaper to replace it according to repair person!

                                    Perfect size for a drink fridge. I replaced a 3.8cf with this and I am very pleased with it. It fit in my SUV on it's side and was light weight compared to a full size. I had my friend help me and was able to put it in it's current location easily. The top freezer has a generous size, the lighting in fridge is super bright with room to spare for drinks and more.
