Received it roughly 7 days after ordering, so it actually arrived sooner than listed. This little until looks great and runs so quietly compared to most other brands in this price range. Although the top part of the fridge is not as cold as the middle and bottom, I'm more than happy with what it does and how it looks. The light is soft and simple which makes it ideal as it is always on. The door is heavy, which is great, but when you switch the reversible sides, be sure you line the door closing up correctly for a good seal. So don't tighten those screws all the way until you know its perfect.
I am giving this 5 stars right now on this condition:
That the manufacturer sends me these inexpensive replacement items that are by all means defective.
There is obviously some small design flaws, which I can live with but is disappointing. I needed to change the door from opening to the right, to the left instead. However, the initial instal scratched the silver on the top part of the door. Which is an obvious eye sore! Obviously not IDEAL for a new unit that offers the reversible door. Secondly, the hinge cover had a hair-line crack at the back along with scuff marks, and I was nervous taking it off because of it. I managed to get it off in one piece, unfortunately, when I put it back on it broke the little clasp at the back. At least the clasps in the middle hold it relatively in place. Also, the hole plugs (black and silver) which are a pain to get out, and once you do, they are so cheap they look like crap when you put them back in. Honestly, I was as gentle as I could be to get them out and push them back in, and they now look and feel so cheap.
I've wrote the manufacturer, and if they send me those replacement parts, I can live with the little scratch and leaving a 5-star review as the unit is working better than the a competitor brand I bought previously at a local retailer, and so much quieter.
PS - the cellophane they use to wrap and protect the unit protects it nicely, but is a pain to get off as it is cheaper than the normal big box stores applications. Start at a clean corner and go slow.
