Always running
This seemed like a good mini-fridge for a 12'*16' building we had constructed near the pool, where we use it just to keep a few beers and sodas cold. The stainless steel is hard to find in this price range. Unfortunately, even with such light usage the compressor seems to run constantly; I can't remember going into the building and not hearing it.

Plugged it in, turned thermostat to "3" as suggested. Fridge section got cold quickly and freezer section froze ice cubes in the included mini tray pretty quickly. Its also UNBELIEVEABLY QUIET! Don't know exactly what I was expecting re: noise levels but saw reviews on other mini fridge's with comments about high level of noise.....NOT THIS ONE. It's also seemingly well insulated as once it reached its thermostat setting, the...
