Q: Are the wires that hold the 8 soft drink cans detachable? We don't drink soft drinks yet don't want to waste that space. Thanks
submitted by Betty - 8 years ago
A: The wires are removable but I don;t see how you can use the shelf for anything else. The bottom "lip" is rounded out unlike the "lip" to the right. No soda - drink water, holds water bottle fine.
submitted byDethshead - 8 years agoA: It should fit 16 oz bottles of water with little to no issues, however I wouldn't recommend the Hint bottles... they are too hard. They should be the flexi-bottles.
submitted byRocco - 7 years agoA: Due to potential safety issues, we do not recommend removing the wires that hold the 8 soft drink cans.

So far working. However, it makes weird sounds and a bit loud. Makes me think it’s not going to last long. I’m in the middle of deciding to return it.

Disappointed
Bad overall experience with Target. I purchased this mini fridge for work and had it shipped to my home since it was over 50lbs and I didn’t want to try and put it in the trunk of my car. It arrived damaged with a crushed corner so I requested an exchange and sent pictures. Target asked me to drop it off at UPS, FedEx or one of their stores. I told them I wouldn’t be able to pick it up and transport it in my small car so they scheduled a pickup from my house with USPS. I was super appreciative and had it picked up the next day. Unfortunately USPS didn’t update their tracking information so I had to file a missing package request. When they did locate it I had to call Target to let them know it was found. Target confirmed receipt, but said they need 10 business days to confirm the contents of the package before they will send my replacement fridge which will take another 5 business days to receive. At this rate I could have just stored my stuff outside since it will be winter before I receive my fridge.

The fridge is spacious and works well so far but the back came damaged. It looks smashed and mangled on the back corner, but it still works. I didn’t see the damage to the product until it was home and unwrapped.

Buyer beware! MICE INFESTED PRODUCT!
Target sold us this fridge and it was MICE INFESTED! Poo, urine and even a nest were at the bottom in the styrofoam! So gross! They’ve done nothing but refund despite us opening it in our house and mouse poop (which carries tons of disease!) went everywhere - ruining our brand new rug. Won’t even reimburse us for the mouse traps. Gross! Not sure if there are mice at our local Target or if this is from the warehouse but beware! Think twice before you buy any appliances from Target.

Arrived damaged
Purchased this mini frig online and shipped to our home. We took it out of the box and the bottom is damaged. Big dent in the bottom corner and will not sit level. The whirlpool mini frig our daughter took to college 25 years ago is still going strong with no issues. Hopefully Target will replace with one that isn’t damaged.

Extremely Disappointed
We purchased this item in August 2022 and it just stopped working on Monday, 5/19/25. This company should allow you to exchange this item for a new one at no charge. This refrigerator is in brand new condition and they should pull this item off the shelf if it is a defective product. The customer service is no help and a waste of time when calling 1-855-666-4477. I will never purchase from Whirlpool and I will warn others about the products and customer service.
