Client Reviews

I am often general elaborate with my reviews, but I'll be brief on this specific one considering the fact that more than likely if you're reading this, you happen to be likely getting this fridge on clearance or it really is coming to its finish of life cycle.
First the positive aspects of the fridge. Emerson has achieved what several could not successfully do with other brand models, in that you have a completely functional Correct freezer space inside a compact fridge. It is amazingly substantial and can basically fit frequent tubs of half gallon ice cream. (The horizontal cartons anyway. Vertical cartons can be laid down on their sides) It can maintain factors 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 Accurate FLAT back. No wires are exposed, you can actually sit it against the wall. The trick is that Emerson ran the cooling coil around the fridge, so that the heat sink is basically on its sides and bottom. They then covered it with thin plastic on all sides. The fridge is warm to the touch, but never ever hot simply because of this.
With positives come negatives of course. The fridge itself would be comparable to three.9cu Ft models, but mainly 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 is 57.5lbs is not entirely accurate. Although I don't have an exact measurement, it certainly is a lot heavier than related compact fridge models. Typically other models would be around 45lbs.
The refrigerator space is surprisingly weak compared to the particularly highly effective freezer space. I am assuming the motor that it utilizes is the similar one particular on other fridges, so they implemented additional analysis onto keeping the freezer cold, but not the fridge as cold. If you are a individual who likes ICE cold drinks, you will be in for some disappointment.
Neutral things that you can see positive or negative are follows.
It runs quiet, but runs constantly. The freezer demands to be kept in check and given that it utilizes such a tiny motor, it has to hold running.
It has crucial locks. This can be valuable if you want to hold alcohol in the fridge, but if you LOOSE your keys. Nicely, decent luck.
Its unusual weight is placed onto four peg legs. If you have sensitive flooring, this can lead to dents.
In the end, I like the fridge but do not adore the fridge. It is most certainly quite, quiet, and has beneficial freezer space. It is also heavy, runs consistently, and has restricted fridge space for its size. This is a correct MINI FRIDGE. Take that for what it is.

While I reviewed this fridge back in November 2008, I actually had the fridge in Might possibly. Now is past the two year point and I'm happy to say the fridge is still going powerful. I decided to update the review considering the fact that I saw how quite a few individuals identified this valuable and I wanted to make positive my words did not loose which means more than time.
First of all - this fridge is obtainable in retail chains. So for those of you who are receiving negative shipments, I recommend you simply go pick it up. It's a shipping concern amongst you and the vendor not Emerson and their fridge.
Second - Constantly don't forget that this fridge's massive selling point is the freezer space. The fridge space is not any several from other mini-fridges you occur to come across.
For those of you who have basically e-mailed me about the "flat back" - yes, this fridge actually has a flat back. The cooling coil you obtain on most fridges (take a appear behind your huge one in your kitchen for example) 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 really is genuinely sleek, and pretty valuable for those who want to shove the fridge in a corner with it's back facing outward. Keep IN Thoughts for safety factors, you should really nevertheless give the fridge some breathing room around the edges.
Nonetheless a awesome fridge, still really like mine. I would gladly pick up another one particular if I really required an additional 1. This little guy is not an Power Star fridge, but just about no mini-fridge is unless it's those horrible coolers they pass off as fridges now-a-days. Thanks for reading as normally.

I had a mini fridge in my room for a year and it broke so I replaced it with this Emerson one particular. I adore it, the Freezer gets especially really pretty cold, as nicely does the refrigerator part. You can shop lots of issues in it, and it even has its personal storage compartment for fruits and cold cuts!
