Large and cold, but not deep.
My model is the 1.6 cubic feet fridge.The refrigerator can cram a surprising number of things inside, but there are some substantial caveats to that. As is easily seen from the pictures, the fridge has an upside-down L shape volume, i.e. the back side is a raised shelf. This is unfortunate in many ways, because* You cannot fit a full gallon of milk anywhere (as far as I can tell at least)* Anything plate-sized is a challenge to fit in the fridge. Obviously it must go on the back shelf, but by itself there is a chance it'll topple off balance because the shelf is barely deep enough to hold the plate. The included rack or a short object in front would of course solve this issue, but then there's no room for tall objects like half gallon milk jugs.* Certain fatter objects (but not as fat as a gallon of milk) will prevent the door from closing if there is also a large-ish object in the door shelf (the rod that you can see holding the 2 L soda in the Amazon image rotates to accomodate space). There is a reason why all of the Amazon images are shot at a low angle, so it's hard to see how deep the front space isn't. Other customer images demonstrate that the bottom shelf is like 2.5 cans of soda deep when the door rod is swung out (interesting unit to measure things...).Thus, don't expect to fit a pizza in here. Most takeout containers are small enough to cram into various spots in the fridge, but it's not guaranteed (especially pasta containers).I considered doing a systematic study of the temperature gradient in the fridge at different settings, but I found that the temperature didn't change much between the pseudo-freezer compartment in the top right and the opposite corner in the door (that is, the entire fridge is fairly even in temperature). Thus, I leave my fridge in the middle cold setting. At this setting, milk sitting in the door will not spoil faster than expected, and things directly under the pseudo-freezer will experience some light freezing sometimes. The pseudo-freezer itself is not much colder - you can freeze water in here, but I would not recommend storing ice cream.As for other aspects of the fridge - it's compact, quiet, and easy to clean. In the beginning it might seem loud, but that's because it's starting up for the first time at room temperature. Note that you should leave the fridge open for an hour before plugging it in to get rid of the smell - after that it's odorless.Ver másVer menos
