I think all the negative reviews about the loudness are from people who just plugged it right in. This thing makes almost zero noise. I can’t even tell if it’s on unless I touch it and feel the slight vibration from the condenser. In one of the pics I put a thermometer in to test the temp. It’s actually below 32 that it’s set at. This thing does work! I did buy the suggested stand and drip tray. It went perfectly with it. The stand had levelers on it so you can get the fridge exactly even. It did come with feet for that but this is easier with the levelers. I’m storing almond milk in it so I was worried it wouldn’t hold under 40 degrees. It’s 30.6 in there as I’m typing this. Going to have to turn it up or everything will freeze lol. It looks really nice to. I have les led lights all around my room with a blue theme. This tied right in. I had a strip of LED lights ready to go for inside the fridge but no need. This blue light is strong and bright enough. It’s not heavy either. Very easy to move around. Very easy to get out of the box as well. It pulls off from the top and walla! Then pushed it over to the spot I wanted, lifted it for a brief moment and slid it on the stand.Overall this is one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time and I buy something every day…multiple items every day. Lots of disappointment. Not here. Oh, and the Matt black finish is really nice looking. It’s not just black metal. It looks better in person and it looks good on Amazon. So, just stop looking and buy it. Your search ends here! Best value for the money in a long long time.UPDATE 11/17:I’ve had the fridge long enough to know how it works and I have only one complaint. To keep temperate you need a fully stocked fridge. 1/3 stocked and it iced up on me. Then I turned it up to 38 (from 32) thinking it’s user error. I was wrong. It still iced up and the temp got up to 55 before it turned on.It will still ice up in the back while running. Then defrosts when not. The key to having it fully stocked is that all the beverages work as “ice packs” to keep the fridge cool in between it running. Works perfectly fully stocked. It stays between 31 and 35 which is perfect since I’m storing milk in it. I’ve tested the actual beverage many times and it’s always near 35 degrees which is nice and chilly!So for all the negative reviews about it not holding temp, this is the remedy. The spacing is a bit weird but workable. I’ve got a 8, 1 liter brisk iced teas, 7 core power protein shakes, 14 Gatorades and a half gallon milk jug (standing upright too) and I still have some room. I left it intentionally to allow air flow.This is the best bang for your buck you will find in a fridge like this. Do not forget to leave it upright for 24 hours. I did this and there is no noise at all. I have to touch it to see if it’s on by the very slight vibration it makes. I think the complaints are from people who didn’t do this. The refrigerant has to settle at the bottom before turning on. HVAC 101. If not it will not operate properly and it will make noise. This is why I ordered anyway. I knew this was the problem. I have a 10 year background in hvac. Not directly but enough that I know the do’s and don’ts. Always allow 24 hours unless you just put it in which is not the case here. If you want to gamble $300 or so on it being upright the whole delivery time be my guest. Not me. Mine works greatUPDATE: I’ve had this thing for months now. No noise almost at all. No fogging up.. except when you open the door and it’s humid in the environment. The reading in the picture is while it’s on and dropping. It will reach 31 before it stops which is where I want it. I keep milk in it so it has to stay under 40 at all times. I’ve taken measurements countless times bc I’m major ocd and always it is at 38 out below. Exactly where I need it.The biggest thing I can say is make sure to keep it fully stocked or it will freeze up trying to keep temp. See, having all those items in there works like a sort of “ice pack” keeping the temp cold inside at all times. When the air temp reaches what it thinks is 44 is when it kicks back on. It just cycles like that. You might be thinking 44??? It auto defrosts between every “cool down”. Trust me, your drinks or beers will be nice and chilly.There is a small problem I noticed. There is a sort of laminate on it that if scratched will start to peel off that nice look you thought was natural. I put black electrical tape over my spots and accepted it.I complained to Amazon and I got a full refund. So, the fridge was free. How can I complain right? It’s doing its job.1.STOCK IT FULLY 2.LET IT SIT 24 HRS UPRIGHT BEFORE PLUGGING IN. and you will not have the problems others have described. 2 before 1 obviously…well not to everyone I guess lol
