NewAir Beverage Refrigerator Cooler - 126 Cans Free Standing with Right Hinge Glass Door, Mini Fridge Beverage Organizer Perfect For Beer, Wine, Soda, And Cooler Drinks

The media could not be loaded. First things first...my box did arrive damaged. AND therefore, so was my refrigerator. All along the left side of it. I didn’t even notice it at first because it was late at night and it was dark. When I tried returning online it said that the item was not eligible for return. So, I went to chat with a representative on the app. And here is my reasoning for the 5 star rating...it took me less than 5 minutes to resolve my issue. I let them know what happened and they said, “okay, do you want a refund or a replacement?” Of course I wanted a replacement! This fridge is so darling! Their response was, “Your replacement has been ordered, is there anything else that I can do for you tonight?” And that’s how quickly that conversation went!! lol I was in HR for over 21+ years, over half of that, I was in management. And that is the type of service I prayed I could get out of each of my employees!! :) An exceptionally consummate professional! Never have I had anyone take care of anything for me that quickly. And to make matters even more convenient, I don’t even have to return the one I have! I’m like—WHAT?! I feel like I’m stealing. I’ve never had to return anything before and I’ve been shopping forever with Amazon, and I can honestly say, this was such a pleasant experience, to say the least!So, for the fridge itself...haha! It’s such a perfect size for a small area. I needed to replace my small old one that I had in my bedroom. I hate going to the kitchen at night when I am thirst and I saw this and couldn’t pass it up. I love that you can see everything inside. Makes my OCD work overtime, but it’s okay. lol Completely worth it.I’ve seen complaints about the noise, I can barely hear mine. However, I did READ THE MANUAL. lol You do need to let it sit for at least 2 hours prior to plugging it in for the first time. And allow the temp to stabilize for 24 hours before using it. And finally, after it’s plugged up, let it run for at least 30 minutes before filling it OR changing the temp! I think I’m doing these things, you’ll find that this refrigerator is literally quite as a mouse! You may need to trouble shoot if you have noise. Like maybe making it level by adjusting the feet or moving it away from the wall, if it’s too close. (I had to do both of these things to mine!) Basically, it needs ventilation and cannot be too close to another surface. So, you need to allow for proper air clearance around it.Sides: 3/4”Top: 4”Back: 2”The manual does state that it should NOT be built into surrounding cabinetry. So, proceed with caution, if you plan on doing this. If it’s not level or not getting enough ventilation, it WILL MAKE NOISE! And a lot of it! lol Otherwise, it doesn’t make ANY NOISE AT ALL!Also, if things are not getting cold enough, make sure that there’s enough ventilation. Same thing applies here too. Not inside, but outside the fridge! And you don’t necessarily need to put the temp higher. Inside, make sure you store your drinks away from the rear wall and don’t overfill it.Overall, I think this is an amazing price for such a good looking fridge. I’m really glad I made this purchase! I have nothing but great things to say about it and even more amazing things to say about Amazon!

The fridge looks and works great! Has anyone else noticed that the side surfaces feel hot? Is this normal, or should I be concerned?I posted above comment; I got the solution and I would like to share it:Fridges get hot on the sides because they use condenser coils to release heat removed from the inside. These coils, often located along the fridge's outer walls, dissipate heat into the surrounding air. This is essential for cooling, preventing the fridge's interior from overheating.

UPDATE: 1 year laterI love this cooler. I know I could have bought a dorm fridge much cheaper and got the same results, but I like the way this one looks.One thing I noticed is that having a light in a cooler is unnecessary unless it is in an unlighted space.Most importantly, after almost a year the unit needed to be defrosted (ice builds up on the back wall). So I emptied it, unplugged itand put a towel in the bottom to soak up the water. Surprise! There was water all over the floor. Apparently as it defrosts the water drains out of the back somewhere. So after it was done, I dried it as best I could, let it sit over night to eliminate any moisture and plugged it in. I let it cool 24 hours before loading it up again. I put in 40 16.9 oz bottles and a 12 pack of soda. It is comfortably full.REVIEW FOR: NewAir Beverage Cooler and Refrigerator, Mini Fridge with Glass Door, Perfect for Soda Beer or Wine, 126-Can Capacity, AB-1200I have had this beverage cooler about 6 weeks now, so I thought I would give a preliminary review.After reading reviews about a LOT of brands, I found 3 main complaints that people had.1. The 1st complaint people had was that the fridge was damaged upon arrival.>>>>> So, When I got mine I looked it over and the box was NOT damaged. I unboxed it and found one rear corner on the top was bent/crushed. This had to happen BEFORE it was shipped since the box was not crusher.2. The 2nd was that they would not cool. >>>>>>>When I got mine unboxed I read the little booklet. It suggested that you let it sit upright for several hours BEFORE plugging. The plug had a sticker attached that said to let it sit 24 hours. So I went with 24 hours before plugging in.3. The 3rd complaint I noticed was that they do not get cold enough. >>>>> my cooler has a dial that goes from 1 – 7. I set it on 5 and let it cool for 24 hours. Then I put all of the drinks from my fridge into the cooler.MY thoughts: I ended up putting the dial on ‘6’ to make it a little cooler. I THINK the drinks are pretty much the same as they were in my regular fridge. They are NOT ice cold. But my regular fridge is not ice cold either. They are fine for me to drink without ice, but for beer drinkers it may not cool enough.126 can capacity???????? Possible??? Yes maybe, if you want room temperature drinks. This is what I have in it. I decided to leave all 5 shelves in and that limits capacity. I also make sure the bottles do NOT touch the real wall so air can circulate freely.25 – 16.6oz water bottles,8 - 8oz water bottles5 – 16oz Orange Juice4 – 4oz ginger ale4 single serve fruit cups4 – 10oz grape juiceSo, about 50 items total. If everything was the size of a soda can, it would hold more, maybe 75 items without being overcrowded.It is supposed to be freestanding, but I have a space that it fits in and still have the proper clearances – 2” and the sides, 4” on the top and 8” in the backWould I buy it again? Yes. I got it on sale, saving $50.

This was a gift to my sister and brother in law for Christmas. It took me awhile to review this because I wanted to get their input. One of the reason why I got them this was because I wanted them to have a place for their drinks. Usually my brother in law would just put his beers in a small cooler. When I saw this…I knew this will be the perfect gift for them.When they opened our gift to them. They were so excited and blessed. They even said why they didn’t get this themselves sooner. It saves so much space and helps them keep it organized and clean. It’s very quiet. Sometimes you don’t realize it’s even there. It’s just how amazing how much drinks you can put here.This really made us very pleased to give them this year. Seeing how much this helped make us really happy. So happy we can make a difference.Thank you Amazon for making me feel like Santa and you as the elf.
