Nice looking but loud.

I got this refrigerator and thought I might have received an unusually loud unit so I returned it and got a unit that was possibly louder.

This is a good looking refrigerator and anyone oblivious to noise will like it. If you're sensitive to noise though the high-pitched whine of the compressor will be a huge issue.

I've had a Sanyo refrigerator (of the same size earlier model) before and it was quiet... so my noise expectations aren't unusually high. This thing just wasn't built with quiet in mind.More detail ...

Nice item but three of them arrived damaged due to shipper error

This really looks like a nice water cooler. I would recommend it but I would caution you before buying it from this shipper. The box clearly states that it should not be inverted but the way it was packed in an outer cardboard box this warning is hidden and it arrived upside down.



The first and third also arrived with sticky gue coming out of the box so we returned them. The second arrived without the sticky mess but when we put the water in it leaked out of the bottom.



We finally asked for a refund which they gave without a problem (although unlike Amazon they won't ship a replacement until they receive the original back).



When I ordered an earlier model from Staples several years ago I never had any of these issues unfortunately they did not seem to sell this model.More detail ...
