Arrived damaged outside and in.
This was my first appliance purchased through Prime and probabaly my last. The box had a bunch of random tape on it, it was clearly dropped hard on its head (damage shown), and the top rack that fits under the tiny freezer was packed inside the unit so tight it is completely warped (pic attached). It seems to be pretty noisy too, but I'm not going to return it because it's too much of hassle. Should have bought elsewhere. Also the handle is completely ornamental. Call me naive but i expected it too be an actual latch. Also, there is no easy way to remove the water container to refill or clean.

Arrived damaged and used
We were very excited to get this mini fridge. When arrived, it was clearly used before. The door will not open without force. The corners are scratched, the whole top is scuffed. Someone had the door on the other side before.

The "Bougie" Fridge
I absolutely love my fridge. The set-up was easy. I have it in my work office and it's called the "bougie" fridge because of the water dispenser, yet everyone compliments it. Beverages and foods are kept cool, and the freezer was great for storing single-size frozen meals.
