Q: Is the compressor line inside the actual freezer & if damaged will that cause the fridge part to no longer cool

submitted by whirlpool - 3 months ago
  • A: The compressor lies at the bottom back of the whole fridge, not inside the actual usage part of the fridge, and if the compressor is damaged, it will cause the whole fridge to no longer cool.

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 - 7 years ago
  • A: 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 - 6 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 - 7 years ago
  • A: Due to potential safety issues, we do not recommend removing the wires that hold the 8 soft drink cans.

SoldALemon - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I received the fridge and it came without an official bottom to the box. You can see the outer cardboard was manually cut. Target resold this lemon to me. Shame on them. It doesn't cool at all and the compressor runs very hot; so hot, it seems like it will explode. This is a fire hazard! Stay away from this item. Listen to the 1star reviews. There is no way this is a 5star review in the long run. It will eventually fail and fail catastrophically.

LK - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This little fridge does everything it’s supposed to do. It is in my garage where the temperature is hot, but it keeps the extra groceries very cold. I love that it has the can organizer in the door. Everything is quickly accessible for grab and go. I had set it on the coldest temperature since the garage gets very hot, but the drinks were actually starting to freeze, so I bumped it down a notch and is perfect. My extra eggs and produce that I keep in there will be just the right temperature. Since my daughter is going away to college, I am ordering another one for her dorm room. It’s definitely light weight and will be easy to transport in the car to move her in. She and her roommates will be able to share it and keep their snacks cold. The freezer compartment is a definite plus for them to put a few breakfast sandwiches to pop into the microwave. It seems like a durable fridge and I’m not hesitating to buy it again!

Ours failed less than two years from purchase after light use. The thermostat failed and repairing, if possible, will cost more than a new fridge. It's made by Galanz-Zhongshan Consumer Electric Appliance in Guangdong, China.

Purchased to replace Avanti mini fridge, honestly it looks exactly the same on the inside only difference this has a big crisper tray on bottom and freezer compartment which I initially did not want again, actually keeps frozen items nice and frozen, only suggestion is not to over pack it. Only downside is items on top shelf will freeze but that’s easy to tweak if you adjust height and of course lower temp. Personally due to hot/humid weather, I prefer not to lower the temp, so not sure how this will affect the freezer. Also like that it’s stainless steel. It’s Cuisinart, so hopefully it lasts.

Do not buy this fridge. Died on me within 4 months and had problems even aside from that. Was loud, and wobbly. Mainly used to keep drinks cold. There’s a 1 year warranty but I don’t keep receipts past 4 months so it’s completely useless. Avoid this fridge. I can’t believe Target actually sells this piece of junk.

Minifridge - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I'm a 19-year-old college student, so I have enough problems on my plate. Having too many problems to be going through this, when I got the fridge, the door wouldn't shut. I had to grab a screwdriver, loosen it, then pull the door slightly away from the fridge and tighten the screw (I had no problem with this). The legs were uneven and would always rock from one leg to the other. Again, I grabbed my screwdriver, loosened the leg, moved it lower until it was even, and tightened it back up (again, no problem). My last straw for typing this review was when the fridge just flat-out stopped working. The light would turn on when I opened the door, but it was not getting cold whatsoever. I did some research and found out it could be the compressor or starter; for some reason, this is somewhat common among minifridges, as I seen There are a ton of videos talking about the same thing, so I bought the same piece for my minifridge off of Amazon and am waiting for it to be shipped as of typing this.
