What Others Say
Worthless; stay away!
This is the worst consumer product I have bought in quite some time. I was attracted by the fact that it does not have a compressor, was advertised as being silent, and would never need defrosting. All of this is true, although it has buzzed from time to time. Unfortunately, it does not keep foods and beverages cold, nor even "cool." My office is rather warm (70 degrees), and this refrigerator never goes below approximately 50 degrees. (I tested with a meat thermometer.)Truly, a piece of junk.
Lasts less than 1 year
The refrigerator worked well for about 6 months, then started making clanking noises. I unplugged it for a few days, and when I plugged it back in, the noise was gone. I went through this routine for about a month, then suddenly, the noise stopped. In the 9th month of ownership, the unit stopped cooling. I called Avanti, as there are no service centers near me and was told that once the unit stops cooling, it cannot be repaired. A replacement could be sent if I sent them the original receipt.
Buyer beware - About to get my third replacement.
When it functions properly this little fridge does a decent job however the fact is that this fridge does have some issues. My first fridge starting making a ticking sound a few weeks after I bought it which I discovered was from the fan blades striking ice that had built up behind it. Keep in mind that this fridge is supposed to have a defrost feature. I unplugged it and used a hair dryer to melt the ice and when I plugged it back in the fridge simply did not chill below room temp after several hours and many days of unplugging and reconnecting power to allow the electronics to reset itself. I returned it and now my second fridge is making the same ticking sound so I am once again doing the hair dryer trick to see if I can restore proper operation. ... Read More
Great Product/Fast Shipping
I paid for ground shipping, and this little frig was here in just a few days, well packed, in excellent condition. I looked on quite a few sites for this item, but the price was RIGHT from this company through AMAZON. Looking for a dorm frig, this one will hold a six-pack, snacks, and even a couple tall bottles. It's fairly quiet, as I use it next to my bed for medications, and no problem. NO Freezer, which was not a requirement with me. What do you expect from this little number?.
Get one.
Silent and efficient. Just dont expect it to get as cold as a normal fridge. If your place is hot, the unit may only get down to 50degrees.
