Silver stopped cooling after 1 year
Currently waiting to hear back from magic chef. After a year of Use it stopped cooling. The ice build up in the freezer takes a few month to build up (3-4 months) but thats easy to clean/ fix . The upkeep guild states to clean it every few months due to this . I liked my fridge I just wished it was still working. I’ll update after the issue is solved and let you guys know what was wrong and what todo. Then it will probably get a better review.

    The worst fridge EVER. The quality control is very bad and it is actually dangerous to use this fridge. The fridge gets frosty from inside wall even on the mid level setup and ruins every thing that touches it especially fresh vegetables and fruits. The fridge cracked from inside spontaneously after only a year and Magic Chef can't care less about the customers' safety by such manufacturing quality. Customer service is non-existent. I am so disappointed in Home Depot as it was my first purchase from them. This has become the last one too. Hope someone at Home Depot reads it.

      Working great, perfect height and width for our limited space. Nice looking and easy to switch door to swing on opposite side, a must for us considering our placement. Shelves all adjust and refrigerator has a light not many minis do.

      Inbetween moves so perfect size for basement im in and will be perfect for mancave or garage when i move. Shelf spacing not set up right for certain things-not very well thought out(12oz cans-gallon of milk)but nice and workable with. Like the seperate large freezer-good amount of room in both compartments

      Small chip in top cover after taking it out of the box, but it doesn't impact the use. I love having a separate freezer door and it's a big upgrade from my previous fridge in my travel trailer.

      Love the size, separate freezer size, shelves and drawers. Wish instead of soda can racks, it was for eggs. My biggest complaint would be that there isn't a separate temp dial for the freezer and stuff in the fridge freezes even on low so for almost $200 that should've been included or tested. Would recommend even with these side effects because it is very quiet and energy efficient but make sure you put fridge baking soda box in it.

      Nice mini fridge, feels solid. The freezer actually has space and keeps food frozen; refrigerator stays nice and cold. Silent operation (it's in my bedroom) apart from a small click when the compressor turns on/off. Glass shelves are nice as are the door shelves and the inside light. Definitely a cut above the small cube refrigerators. I'm impressed by the quality, esp. at this price.

      The size of it, it holds a lot of food. I like it. Its cooling great. Haven`t had it very long. Works great in a old mans mancave. Don`t remember the price I paid for it, but it was a good deal. I don`t have a photo handy right now.

      The Mini Refrigerator Magic Chef is just OK. The problem I have with it is there's always has ices built up on the back wall inside of the refrigerator, these ices really bothered me when I saw it, and also these ices sometimes got stuck to my food, and drop everywhere in the refrigerator, and made the inside of the refrigerator wet. Then I have to spend time to clean up all the water in it. I felt so sorry to buy this mini refrigerator without knowing this problem. I tried to attach 4 pictures of these problems but did not know how to attach it.

      We bought this refrigerator for use at our small town art gallery. Since we often run in the red we all chipped in to purchase it. After researching the possibilities we decided on the Magic Chef for it's size, space and value. It certainly out shined other brands in customer reviews. Color not being important to us, we were able to save some money by buying the white one. The freezer is nicely sized to hold a bag of ice for receptions, etc. The refrigerator can hold drinks, appetizers or lunches. We are all very pleased with our purchase.

      I think that I was expecting something a "little" small even I looked the measures. But it is cute and fit inside my dorm. The space on the freezer is super nice (you can put a pizza medium size, ice cream etc) and till this moment the fridge is keeping everything well refrigerated - not the same kind of power that a regular size fridge would have, but enough to hold for a good amount of time a good amount of food. The space is inside is also practical and realistic for the size. So, yes, I am happy with my purchase!

      So far so good. Works well. Bigger then my 3.1 cu. ft. fridge (duh). Taller items fit well in this one. Keeps my ice cream frozen. Working off my inverter/battery/solar system. Doesn't seem to use much power. I liked the low price and free ship to store. Picking it up wasn't a lot of fun. My customer service desk doesn't seem to care about servicing the customer. They would rather help other associates and take phone calls then wait on the customers waiting in line for help. Probably be worth paying the extra shipping to my home next time.

      Perfect lil' fridge!
      Great product for a single person or even a college student. The greatest feature is that there is not a lot of wasted space with those dratted can chutes that are found on nearly every other product out there. As you can see in the photo I uploaded, I'm a big time fan of bottled tea, so heads up to any folk looking for a small fridge, be painfully aware of all the space wasted by can chutes if you don't drink canned beverages. The freezer space capacity surprised me as you can see I really got that thing crammed. I'm very satisfied with this fridge and highly recommend it to those who just need storage for one person.

      One Cool Fridge!
      I bought this as a replacement refrigerator for my fifth wheel, which is now my new home. It was only a couple inches narrower and a couple inches shorter than the $1600 fridge that had failed. LOVE the separate freezer, which is absolutely large enough for ice, ice cream, frozen food and popsicles! The fridge part is large enough for one woman who has ALOT of condiments. One small drawer on the bottom holds veggies or cheese. Wasn't too sure about the 6 can holders on the door (never used 'em before), but I'm sold now. I have small bottled condiments in the can holders. It's soooo quiet, I keep checking to see if it's on. I had to adjust the temperature down some, I froze my seltzer water the first few days. The door holds 4-5 tall bottles and there's 2 easily adjustable glass shelves, so you can see what's where without crouching and craning. The price was incredible, the shipping was soo fast. My shiny black little fridge is my best find this month!

      Just what I needed
      I bought this unit to use in my office at work, it runs so quiet I hardly know it's there. Like most fridges you start at #4 to cool it down, I have reduced the setting to 2 1/2 and it keeps everything cold and frozen. I would recommend this fridge to everyone.

      Great for one room apartments
      The Vissani 4.5 c.u. mini fridge works great in a small room apartment where a larger fridge would not fit. It operates quietly so that you barely notice when the compressor kicks in and has a lot of space for my sodas, beer and other bachelor essentials. And one of the cool things is that it features an inner light inside the fridge. So on those nights when flicking on the light switch would disturb your over night guest, you won't wake her up! You don't want to do that. Then, she's grumpy and in the morning leaves early. Anyway, the fridge has a lot of cubic space for food and the freezer, though a manual defrost, also has a lot of room for ice cream, frozen food and other bachelor/bachelorette staples. The unit is 71 pounds and easy to install though my first delivery it was damaged. The shelves can be adjusted and the food stays at the right temperature. I keep mine on 6 or 7 but that is too high for salads but just right for beverages. The side door can keep a liter of ice coffee or water, beers (of course!), and a quart of milk. The veggie/fruit tray is small. I keep my cheeses and deli in there, etc. The fridge is quiet and I imagine in six more months I will need to defrost it but there is barely any ice build up in the freezer. It comes with a cute plastic ice chipper and two small trays. I place a microwave on top and it is wide enough for that!

      Nice compact fridge
      Great compact fridge. Nice size interior. Works great and the separate freezer compartment is an excellent option. Other mini fridge models with internal freezer always ice up. This one stays frost free. More room than a mini fridge, but in the same size footprint. Love it.

      Great value
      I bought this fridge almost 2 years ago for my tiny house on wheels. It's worked out great for me so far. The only draw back is the freezer accumulates frost and needs to be scraped frequently. Other than that, I've had zero issues.
