Buyer Critiques

I truly like iced apple juice, but the ice was melting prior to I ever finished my drink. I was going through apple juice like crazy, but by no means certainly drinking substantially of it. I bought this personal fridge to cut down on wasting apple juice (don't like it all watered down from melted ice). It operates so well, that I can fill a 12oz glass with juice, place in a couple of cubes of ice, and seven hours later, the ice has not melted. Believe about it...seven hours! If I leave a glass of ice and juice out for 30 minutes, the ice has melted down to small bitty bits and the juice is as well watery.
I used the "Mastercool MSC52224A Infrared Thermometer in Case with Zero cost MSC52220 Analog Thermometer" that I bought from Amazon to check the temperature performance. The manual for the mini fridge says that it is capable of cooling to 32 (deg F) beneath ambient. I checked it on a hot day, a warm day, a cool day, and various occasions in between making use of the digital IR thermometer and it is consistently 32-45 degrees cooler inside the fridge than the outside temperature. Even on a 90 degree day the ice did not melt and I didn't have to replace my drink. The inside temperature at the warmest spot was consistently hovering around 45 to 47 degrees (F). My drink was at about 36 to 38 degrees, based on exactly where I measured it.
On the days that had been around 70 degrees, this fridge read temperatures close to freezing. In truth, I was amazed when I pulled out a frosty glass of apple juice. It happened only when, but nonetheless...worth mentioning.
I feel the trick to acquiring this to work optimally is to give a lot of inches of space for the back finish where it vents out the heat. I applied the thermometer there as properly- the vent on either side exhausts at about 90 degrees (F) but at a low volume so it is not pretty valuable as a space heater.
The unit runs quiet- particularly quiet. It comes with both an AC adapter, and a DC lighter-socket adapter for the vehicle. The power switch has 3 positions- Off (middle) to the appropriate is 110AC, and to the left is 12VDC (car). There is a single green LED to indicate ON operation, there are two warm air exhausts on every single side at the rear, and two cool air intakes- one particular at the back plate, and a single on the top at the aft finish. This is why ventilation and spacing is very important- due to the proximity of the hot air exhaust and cool air intake- there needs to be area for the warm air to dissipate and not be drawn in by the cool air intake. The manual says 6 inches space all about, I've found that about half that works in my situation.
I have not tried a six-pack, or tried utilizing it in a vehicle. What I can say is that if you like to have a cold drink handy to sip on all day even though you study, this unit is worth each and every penny. I have not had to waste a glass of juice for the reason that it was watered down considering the fact that employing this unit- for that, five stars without difficulty.

I purchased this for my cubicle at operate. I wanted to keep water or soft drinks cold sufficient that I didn't will need to maintain heading to the cafeteria for ice. It works fantastic for that purpose. CAUTION: It will only fit 12-oz cans of soda, and eight-oz bottles of water (these can be tricky to find). A single 16.9-oz bottle of water will only fit inside sideways, and will take up all the offered space. I hold it turned on 24x7. The fan noise is incredibly low (assume White Noise). I agree with other reviewers that the latch is flimsy and appears easy to break use it with extreme care. But general, the cost, size and functionality of this mini fridge make me a happy buyer.
