I bought this fridge as a stopgap when my main fridge was out of commision for 10 days (for the 2nd time in a few weeks). I have therefore only used it for a short period but I was very pleased with it. The fridge obviously does not hold a great deal although you can fit more in if you pack it carefully. However, it will store the basics. It is probably most useful for anyone living in a very small space - student bedsit/hall of residence or perhaps for use in a caravan. There are 6 temperature settings. I used it during very hot weather. With the thermostat set to 4 it chilled food very efficiently. It was also quiet in operation. I cannot comment on its longer term reliability but it seems to do pretty much what it claims to. Worth buying if you need something very small and compact.
