Becca - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
All the things about this fridge you will like. The only reason for my rating is because I ordered it and it came dented in the right back corner. I reached out to target and did an exchange, took the first one to UPS store, then got another one. Well, that one was dented in the exact same spot. The fridges had different codes on the back so it wasn’t the same one sent back.

I bought this July 24th of 2024 (currently June 2025) and so far it’s actually been working great for me. I made sure to read the whole manual before setting it up. If you tip it during transportation, make sure to let it sit undisturbed for a few hours (I did 24). The only problem I’ve really ran into is the fact that I had the temp on 5 for coolness which the manual says is more cool, and I’ve noticed I think some things are spoiling -I’m guessing it’s too warm? I had a mush overnight oats in the bottom drawer for maybe a week (if that) and it completely bloated!! That’s really the first problem I’ve had with it so far. I’d also say that it’s kind of small- I can’t fit a coffee creamer upright on the shelf unless I take one shelf out. Other than that I have actually really liked it and it’s been working. It’s not very loud at all. My only complaint is sometimes it’s not as cold, and it’s pretty small.

Read the 1 star reviews and trust them. I read afterwards. Freezer won’t freeze unless it’s on the coldest setting but then everything in refrigerator freezes. No separate controls. We tried adjusting it 1/2 setting and ice cream melted. There are better out there!

Jess P - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
Absolute garbage. -advertises ability to swap door sides, but if you follow the instructions, the doors don't line up and don't seal properly (see photos) -the holes in the exterior of the fridge do not line up with the frame, so the screws can't hold it in place (see photos) -ships in "original packaging" means that it will arrive damaged and dented. The box it ships in literally lifts off of a shallow, cardboard base- nothing was holding this thing in place during shipping.

The fridge part of this unit was freezing everything on the lowest setting possible. It even exploded a few cans of soda/seltzer water. Very disappointing because it was perfect in every other way.

I saw this advertised on a Target website for my local Target store selected from a Google search for $139.99. I decided to pick this up as they were in stock. When I checked out the price was $209.99. I went back the next day and was told that was on a Google site, even though I selected the correct store. No refund allowed. That is my last purchase at any Target store. Lousy customer service.
