If you're looking for a french door refrigerator in the 33" width, you don't have many options. This is one of the few.



It could so nearly have been a great fridge, but it's the design that brings it down.



The doors are clunky, and the buttons on the outside are unappealing and cheap looking. But the inside is functional and though the drawers are a bit plasticy, it's pretty good.



The worst part about it is the water/ice dispenser. When you think about it, you pay quite a premium for a thru-the-door water dispenser compared with fridges that don't have them. The best thing about this one is that the internal mechanism for dispenser is slim. Unfortunately, it clogs up far too often. But the actual dispensing section is the real let down. The water comes out in a weak trickle from what I can only describe as a urethra, positioned in a way that always catches people out first time they use it, and always makes them laugh at it. But whoever designed the paddles you push to dispense water or ice needs their design license revoked. They made the paddles to curve outwards a way that is not complimentary to a glass or bottle - you're basically trying to hold a curved surface up against another curved surface, so your glass is always slipping about on the paddle. If they'd have curved it the other way it would not have been a problem.

The wine racks are set so that fitting a pinot noir or champagne bottle in between any of the racks impossible. Looks nice and

works well if your just storing beer or small bottles of wine. Overall a disappointment due to lack of spacing.

very classic look. fits right in with decor of room. and matchs hotdog cooker of same brand. easy to install, keeps drinks cold. would like to have had metal on the door handle instead of plastic. but that would have increased the price - great value for the price.

I bought this fridge short notice when a defrosting attempt rendered my last beer fridge inoperable, and I felt a little pressured to hit the Go button on it as my tasty 12oz's of Heaven slowly warmed. But I must say I'm not disappointed at all! It's a great size, looks fantastic, isn't as heavy as I thought it would be, is very quiet, and keeps more than 60 bottles of Sam Adams ice cold and within arms reach with room to spare! My original fridge was a Kenmore job, with a pathetic waste-of-space freezer section (which this does not have) that for some unknown reason Sears saw fit to make the freezer floor out of the cooling element. So of course it iced up like you read about, and I, like many a man before me, took the task of removing this ice seriously (it was encroaching on my beer space as it grew!)...and pulled out my trusty, and ridiculously pointy, pocket knife. So after a bath of freon, or what ever the hell they're using these days to cool, washed over me with a snake-like hiss, I proceeded to slam the door and muscle the fridge out to the driveway where it still sits. Luckily my beer supply was low (it pains me to admit this), so I only needed to commandeer a single shelf in the practically useless "food" fridge as the wife calls it. But knowing this arrangement wouldn't last, I needed a new fridge, and fast. So I bit the bullet after reading a few whiny reviews about ridiculously trivial issues (like not getting cool enough, or damaged in shipping; neither of which plague(d) my unit), even springing for the $4 overnight option (Thank you PRIME!), and couldn't be happier. My pregnant wife likes it so much she's decided to throw caution to the wind and resume drinking. Who could resist pulling a frosty beverage from this bad boy and tossing it back at the end of a hard day? Not this guy! And this fridge delivers with style. Only thing I can think of as a drawback is it doesn't keep the ice frozen, but then, giving up room in it for ice when it could be holding more beer is just ludicrous. This scenario actually makes me shudder to consider.



Summary? Kick-ass fridge for the money and if you have Prime, pay the $4 to overnight it just so you can tell your friends you overnighted a FRIDGE for FOUR FREAKING DOLLARS. Then slam back a cold one for emphasis.



Update 1/16/14: This fridge no longer appears to be offered by Amazon, and is now selling for a ridiculous price from outside vendors. Do yourselves a favor and look elsewhere for this model, or find a comparable model here that still offers Prime (even though Amazon sadly no longer allows things this big to get away with being overnighted for $3.99).



In other news, this fridge continues to deliver cold beverages flawlessly, and other than the kids fingerprints all over it, still looks pretty good. If you didn't snag one before Amazon stopped carrying them, I feel sorry for you. but there has to be something almost as good available for close to what this was selling for (I think I paid $210 for mine).

36-Bottle EdgeStar Built-In Dual-Zone French-Door Wine Refrigerator


36-Bottle EdgeStar Built-In Dual-Zone French-Door Wine Refrigerator




Product Description




36-Bottle EdgeStar Built-In Dual-Zone French-Door Wine Refrigerator. The EdgeStar 36 Bottle Built-In Dual Zone French Door Wine Cooler is like having two (2) completely separate wine coolers rolled into one. The unit features two (2) sides that are virtually independent of one another as each has its own electronically-controlled thermostat, stainless steel trim door, racking system, LED display, carbon filter, and internal fan. However, they do share the same cabinet which in turn saves you space, and keeps all of your favorite wines together in one convenient place. From Port and Pinot Noir to Chardonnay and champagne, this wine refrigerator can simultaneously store red and white wines since each cooling zone can be adjusted to different temperatures in a range from 40-65° F. Unless making changes to the temperature, the current temperature for each zone will always be shown on its designated blue LED display to give you peace of mind. Dimensions: 24.5" L x 23.5" W x 34" H; 110 lbs.

Very noisy wine cooler. I like the design and duel temp zones. doesn't hold the temp you set by a degree or so, not a big issue but if you need a quite fridge, I would shop a box store in your area ( and listen to it) because Edgestar will not do anything about it. They told me all fridge's make noise. when I said my Bosch fridge is whisper quiet, they had no response. I have since learned that a thermoelectric cooler is the way to go, it's whisper quiet compared to a normal compressor. This is a very expensive mistake. I would not recommend it.

Yes, there is a ice maker problem, and LG knows about it and has engineered a fix. The computer that controls the defrost cycle does not defrost long enough, so ice builds up on the inside wall, causing the fan that forces cold air into the ice maker compartment to make noise and, I suppose if it gets bad enough, stop moving altogether. I know this because this is what I was told when I had service performed by a local company who contracts with LG to do warranty service. The service guy replaced the gasket around the freezer door and the computer "motherboard" in the rear. An additional fix to the ice maker is forthcoming when parts come in that is supposed to increase ice production. This is a great frig aside from these problems, but at least LG stepped up and is getting them fixed for me without hesitation.

I searched a lot before buying this unit. The size is great and it cools just fine. I love the glass shelves and the light which is very bright. Be aware, and it says this in the manual so it is not a fault, that the sides get up to 30 degrees higher than room temperature. My previous mini which I had only a few months did (no manual) and I was afraid to continue using it. Probably all minis do the same. I'm glad because I like this so much better. It was only $217 at my local power company's web site..

Evaluated from a functional perspective, the mini fridge gets 4 stars. The door pockets aren't gianormous, but are adequate for a fridge of its size. One shelf is adjustable with a fairly big range. It has leveling feet & the door's opening direction is reversible. The fit & finish is above average - the back is completely flush & none of the coils are exposed. I honestly can't think of anything more I could want in terms of the design.



I'm docking it a star for the door's finish. I didn't read between the lines when I selected the model and assumed I knew what "spotless" steel meant. The picture make me expect that I was getting a STAINLESS steel finish. From the right angle, in the perfect light, at an adequate distance, it could pass for it. Just like a carefully selected "selfie" though, the actual package is less desirable. Most of the time, the fridge just looks like it has a gray door. Upon closer inspection, it's just a plastic or painted brush stroke veneer over a glossy gray finish. It's not offensive to the eyes by any means, but it definitely wasn't the sleek appliance I thought I had purchased.

The filter is fine. Unfortunately I placed the order on my smart phone. From the ad I thought it was 6 filters and it was only one filter. One of these same filters was available for much less but since I thought this offer was for six filters I ordered from this company at an inflated price.



Basically I learned to be more careful when ordering on my phone or to wait till I can see and read it better on my computer.

We needed a fridge small enough for our bar area and this fit the bill perfectly! We didn't have to search store after store and then figure out how to get it home - instead we browsed Amazon and it was even shipped for free using Prime!! The UPS driver was shocked he was delivering a fridge to our door!

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend. She loves it. She says it's allowed her to get lazy in her office. She particularly likes that the freezer is a separate compartment from the fridge part. With so many of these, the freezer is just a small covey hole within the cooler part.



Her only complaint is about the reversible doors. According to her, one must hold a degree in engineering to change them. I'll look at it myself the next time I get into town.

This is a great little refrigerator.

Pros:

Lots of room. I like this fridge because there is no soda can dispenser. I hate those because I do not drink soda.

Great price! (Watch out for the shipping though)

Cools very quickly.

It comes with a drip tray.

The "legs" of the fridge are movable for correct balance!!



Cons:

A little on the noisy side. To me it's pretty quiet, but if you want a fridge that you cannot hear at all, this is not for you.

The freezer section is so tiny do not expect to put anything other than a small ice tray in it.



Biggest problem:

The shippers dinted the heck out of the side. I didn't return it because that would have been a major hassle and expense. It still worked even with that boo boo, so overall I am pleased.



This is a great fridge for a bedroom, office, or just for extra storage. Just don't expect to get use out of the freezer.

I got this item for $150 (plus $50 shipping) when the list price was $320. It arrived on time and is made of high quality materials - no flimsy shelves, etc. Not exactly sure what thermoelectric is in a technical sense, but it's certainly quiet. I put a fridge thermometer inside and it stays within 2 degrees of the digital setting (digital setting is 62, thermometer is 60). The reflective glass and interior light make for a sleek look. I'd definitely buy this product again.

When the washer arrived, I installed it and had problems with it not completing the cycle, leaving water in the bottom and the drying cycle never ending. I called the supplier and they shipped a new one out quickly and with no problems. The new unit works well. I had expected the unit to work the first time, and the installing, removal of the bad washer, and reinstalling of the new one was a hassle. I have to give credit to the supplier for quick follow up.
