 This is the one! June 25, 2010

There's already a solidly-detailed review on the product, so I won't make this long -- just want to add a short note. When I decided to buy a compact refrigerator for my bedroom, I expected it would take me 20 minutes to read a few reviews and get one on order. I was wrong. The handling damage reported by customers bespeaks a horrible track record, so I continued to search and discovered a department store web site that would help me track down this model to a local store. I picked it up last week. The unit on the shelf looked badly mauled. The unit was still in its container and I wouldn't buy that unit without having it unpacked at the store. They happened to have another unit in stock and brought it forward. With the packing in good condition I brought it home and plugged it in.
It's delightful -- quiet, cold, and the estimated annual cost, depending on your utility rates, is just $36 per year.

I bought this from Target. I have reviewed many compact refrigerator and have not been impressed with them. This one is new to the market so I went ahead and bought one. WOW...I love it! Fits in my office great...quite, just a little "tink" when the compressor kicks on...but nothing noisy. It keeps everthing I have inside COLD! I haven't used the "freezer" so I don't know how that does. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a compact fridge!

This is being used in a restaurant to keep things chilled for the customers, and it performs just fine. The packaging got it to us in good shape. We use it to keep soy milk, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, and a few odd bottles of white wine chilled, and it stands up to being opened and closed multiple times a day without issue.
 Compact and as cold as you need it to be June 8, 2010

If you've ever tried one of those small thermo-electric plate refrigerators (as I have), you may have been disappointed by its cooling capability. Sadly, the technology that allows them to be so small also limits how cold they get. They can keep things cool, but they don't make things truly cold. So, if you like your milk to remain unspoiled and your drinks to be icy cold, compressor refrigerators are still the way to go. This Emerson CR180 compact refrigerator runs on a compressor system.
That said, let's start with what everyone wants to know first: How cold does this unit get?
I've had this refrigerator running for a week and these are the temperatures I've measured:
Setting number 6......4
Door..............34.....43 degrees Fahrenheit
Middle Shelf....33.....42
Freezer..........18.....26
Setting number 6 is the coldest. The manufacturer's guide states that setting number 3 should suffice for most people, but I like things on the colder side, so I keep it between 4 and 5.
Overall, this refrigerator runs quietly. There is, however, a soft "plink" every couple of minutes as the cooling system kicks in. It's barely noticeable with all the noise where I work, but it is something to keep in mind if you plan to use the refrigerator in a quiet environment.
The exterior dimensions are 18 inches high x 18.5 inches wide x 20 inches deep. It fits nicely under my desk, and despite the manufacturer's warning not to put heavy objects on top, I do occasionally use it as a footrest.
The freezer holds one frozen dinner (maybe two if you remove the cardboard boxes and just slide the plastic-wrapped meal trays in). The picture above where they've packed the refrigerator full is a little misleading in that they've put food on the middle shelf directly below the freezer, which is where the drip tray goes. Also, the door takes up more space than you might think. Despite this, it's pretty roomy. For me, there's more than enough room to keep a couple of sandwiches, a few bottles of juice and soda, a frozen dinner, and some salad fixings for the week.
If you plan to purchase this refrigerator online, be sure to ask the seller first how they're going to pack it. The manufacturer's retail box is definitely not sufficient for shipping. There is only a thin (1/2 inch) layer of styrofoam on the top and bottom, and none at all on the sides. Most importantly, there is no protection whatsoever for the most delicate part of the refrigerator...the exposed coolant system in back. With the way most shipping services throw their packages around, chances are good that the refrigerator will be dented, and maybe even inoperable, on arrival. So, be sure to ask the seller if they'll double-box it with appropriate packing materials.
A few other notes:
- Defrosting is manual, not automatic.
- The door is reversible, so you can make it swing whichever direction you want.
- There's no lock and no handle, just a recessed door top (I personally prefer this, as it's one less mechanical part to break with extended use).
- The U.S. government energy guide has rated this refrigerator at an estimated yearly electricity use of 315 kWh, with an estimated yearly operating cost of 33.50 dollars.
