Customer Reviews

I am generally overall elaborate with my reviews, but I'll be short on this certain one due to the fact alot more than probably if you are reading this, you are in all probability acquiring this fridge on clearance or it is coming to its finish of life cycle.
First the positive elements of the fridge. Emerson has accomplished what a lot of could not effectively do with other brand models, in that you have a fully functional True freezer space inside a compact fridge. It really is amazingly sizeable and can essentially fit normal tubs of half gallon ice cream. (The horizontal cartons anyway. Vertical cartons can be laid down on their sides) It can maintain issues in a solid block of ice if necessary, and due to the low volume space of the freezer, it acts as a much better ice cube maker.
The fridge has a Correct FLAT back. No wires are exposed, you can literally sit it against the wall. The trick is that Emerson ran the cooling coil around the fridge, so that the heat sink is actually on its sides and bottom. They then covered it with thin plastic on all sides. The fridge is warm to the touch, but never hot since of this.
With positives come negatives of course. The fridge itself would be comparable to 3.9cu Ft models, but because of the enclosed freezer door, it is cut down to total three.1cu Ft. (two.2cu Ft for space, .9 for freezer)
The fridge is HEAVY. It really is 57.5lbs is not entirely accurate. Even though I don't have an exact measurement, it most certainly is a lot heavier than related compact fridge models. Commonly other models would be about 45lbs.
The refrigerator space is surprisingly weak compared to the particularly highly effective freezer space. I am assuming the motor that it makes use of is the similar a single on other fridges, so they implemented even more study onto keeping the freezer cold, but not the fridge as cold. If you happen to be a person who likes ICE cold drinks, you are going to be in for some disappointment.
Neutral items that you can see positive or unfavorable are follows.
It runs quiet, but runs consistently. The freezer requirements to be kept in check and given that it utilizes such a tiny motor, it has to maintain operating.
It has essential locks. This can be helpful if you want to preserve alcohol in the fridge, but if you LOOSE your keys. Properly, good luck.
Its unusual weight is placed onto 4 peg legs. If you have sensitive flooring, this can cause dents.
In the end, I like the fridge but do not enjoy the fridge. It is without a doubt fairly, quiet, and has very good freezer space. It is also heavy, runs constantly, and has restricted fridge space for its size. This is a accurate MINI FRIDGE. Take that for what it is.

Although I reviewed this fridge back in November 2008, I really had the fridge in Could possibly. Now is past the two year point and I'm happy to say the fridge is nevertheless going powerful. I decided to update the assessment considering that I saw how a large number of individuals found this useful and I wanted to make sure my words didn't loose which means over time.
First of all - this fridge is available in retail chains. So for those of you who are receiving bad shipments, I recommend you simply go choose it up. It is a shipping issue among you and the vendor not Emerson and their fridge.
Second - At all times bear in mind that this fridge's big selling point is the freezer space. The fridge space isn't any different from other mini-fridges you occur to come across.
For those of you who have actually e-mailed me about the "flat back" - yes, this fridge actually has a flat back. The cooling coil you acquire on most fridges (take a look behind your huge a single in your kitchen for instance) was covered up by Emerson on this model, so it runs around the fridge but is covered by that black thick plastic material you see in the image. It is seriously sleek, and extremely valuable for those who want to shove the fridge in a corner with it really is back facing outward. Keep IN Thoughts for safety causes, you need to nonetheless give the fridge some breathing room about the edges.
Nonetheless a fantastic fridge, nonetheless love mine. I would gladly pick up yet another one if I truly required one other one. This little guy is not an Energy Star fridge, but pretty much no mini-fridge is unless it's those horrible coolers they pass off as fridges now-a-days. Thanks for reading as continually.

I had a mini fridge in my room for a year and it broke so I replaced it with this Emerson 1. I like it, the Freezer gets extremely rather very cold, as nicely does the refrigerator part. You can retailer lots of points in it, and it even has its personal storage compartment for fruits and cold cuts!
