Side by Side Comparison of: SPT vs RCA

I've had this small fridge in my office for a couple months now. Really love the convenience of storing drinks and breakfast yoghurt, with no worries about items disappearing. I have not really tried to freeze anything, so cannot comment on the freezer performance. Very quiet. Not a bad looking piece either.Note that the box is huge and very heavy - I was able to unpack it by myself but anyone who has mobility issues will have trouble.

Excellent Unit!

Love this mini fridge we have it in our bedroom. Very quiet!

Perfect fit into a new Ikea 21" base cabinet. Looks like it's built in. Perfect for my office kitchenette.

I bought this refrigerator for my bedroom and it is the perfect size for my little room. I like how you can reverse the direction the door swings. Instructions in the manual are clear and easy to follow. The only thing I didn't like is how rough the original holes were drilled into the top. I had to hammer the edges down a bit so that the covers would sit flush with the top of the unit.Temperature-wise, at first I thought it wasn't cooling enough with the temperature control set midway so I turned the temperature control all the way to maximum. I came home today to find the drinks I had outside of the tiny freezer had frozen. I also put some frozen steaks in the freezer and placed one on the tray below the freezer to thaw. The steak I left on the tray is still frozen solid 3 days after I put it there. I guess its time for me to turn the temperature control down to a lower setting.This is a very quiet refrigerator. The only thing you'll hear is a distinct pop whenever the compressor turns on. The compressor itself is so quiet that you'll only hear it if you try and listen for it after you hear the pop. I don't know if that pop is normal but it happens all the time.

So far, so good with this refrigerator. I needed one for my office and this fits perfectly underneath my L-shaped desk. I have an ice block that I bring into work frozen and this keeps it frozen. I tried feezing it from the beginning of the day, but it did not freeze all the way through by the end of the day (9 hours). Still serves my purpose well, though. It chills beverages very quickly. The inside is a good size. I'm glad my husband talked me out of the 1.7 cubic sized ones. This one is just slightly bigger, but doesn't take up too much room. Perfect for the office.

Very efficient. We used it in our conversion van. In Arizona and Texas summer heat it ran over 12 hours on our auxiliary battery inside the hot van.

Great Fridge, does what it needs. Just disappointed that UPS banged it up a bit in the shipping. Very nice stainless, and very roomy. Looks like a $300 fridge, but half the price.

I've had this for about 2+ months now and I am loving this fridge. I have this in my kitchen but its only used for beer and soft drinks only. It blends in well with all the other stainless in the kitchen

Frig came in perfect shape. Each item in the frig was taped or well cushioned. Instructions to reverse door are weak. Started cooling right after unit was plugged in to socket.

Replaced a smaller "convenience size" refrigerator we use outside on our covered porch. This one is larger, runs quietly, looks good and keeps things COLD.......so far (only had it a week now). Have only one complaint.....bottled beer or soda just won't fit well if standing. Cans are great, so if you prefer bottles, you may have to lay them on their side or remove a shelf to get them to stand.

No problems yet.. Hold a decent amount of stuff

It works great

Makes a squeaky noise when the compressor starts, other than that it works great.

I've had my fridge refrigerator for nearly two months it works very well and it's very quiet I have it next to my bed in my master bedroom its a good investment for drinks late at night

wroks great

Quiet and decently cool enough for perishable food.

The freezer keeps getting really icy, even when it's been closed.

The refrigerator itself is fantastic, but I was super disappointed to see a dent on the back left corner on the top of the fridge. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars.

Works great, good replacement for our old one and it's a little bigger, but no interior light!

The refrigerator seems to work well and it was nice to have it delivered free--Sears wanted $70 to deliver a similar one. However as other reviewers have mentioned, the door is covered with a thin, white plastic film which, despite the careful packing, was nicked and scratched in several places. Why the manufacturer felt the need for such a flimsy, decorative cover for the door, I'll never know.

A little over priced for what you get but, it gets cold fast and cools down drinks fast as well.

Arrived dented in back corner and cracked on the bottom,

It has a small freezer space and I bought it thinking that it was just a fridge which was what I wanted so I would have 4.5 cubic feet of space.

The pictures are completely misleading. It shows stainless steel, but the fridge I received is black with a stainless steel door only. The picture is false advertising. Otherwise the fridge is working well so far.

Door has to be shut tight or will stay open

Fridge seems to work well so far, but came scuffed and dented due to very poor packaging. :/

Size is completely wrong. I have no idea why they haven't updated the specs yet. It keeps things cold, which is what it's meant for. I live in a very small studio and find the noise pretty distracting. Had an odd, gassy smell the first week or so. Did a lot of research and it definitely wasn't a freon lead, but seems to have dissipated.

The freezer door (inner door) is held in place by plastic pins. I was surprised when one of these sheered off, but then noticed that the plastic pin is hollow!! How cheap can one get? I drilled a hole, put in a steel screw, and threaded the broken end of pin onto the screw head. The door works again, but unless you feel comfortable making such repairs, I'd recommend against buying this unit.

Freezer compartment hardly works.

1st one was defective, soon out of the box. amazon was very good and swift with a replacement (no complaints about amazon, only praise--the issues are with the product). 2nd one lasted 15 months. good while it lasted but did not last--i was expecting at least 3 years. going with another brand. [edit-going with a beverage cooler to avoid the freezer/defrost inevitable problems]

it was not the size was reflected on description

Came dented and scratched and broke down. But it worked

Love the fridge but can't help but notice the front "stainless" panel is rusting already and it's only been 6+ months. See the photo below...

We have had this refrigerator in our office for a year and a half and it is already broken. Dead, no motor running nothing. Would not recommend this obviously very cheaply made.

using it for 2 months....the fridge is dead

I bought 4 of this refrigerators on September, 1 for myself and 3 for some friends, none of them are working any more. They only last for a month

Don't see a way to contact the seller to remedy the issue...purchased at the end of March and it died last night. Super frustrated!

Purchased this item on July 29, 2015. Stopped working 10/16/15. Less than 3 months. Just stopped working. Can't find any information on where to call, who to call, how to get this replaced. Less than 3 months. Please help.

Fridge stopped working after nine months.

Arrrived in a nice carton but was scratched and nicked on sides and top. Flimsy plastic cover on stainless steel front that is hard to remove.
The huge problem is that the door doesn't close tightly. There is always a gap. Cool air will get out. Now I have to send it back to Amazon. Really pretty cheaply made. Next time I'll order a more expensive model.

Bad refrigerator, company does not stand behind product. You must send(send at your cost) to another state for any repairs. Refrigerator only lasted three days before it broke. Amazon will not help you get your money back.

The is a piece of crap. Makes excessive noise. Put together cheaply. Not worth it!

The measurements shown online are of the box, not the unit itself...

Stopped cooling after two months.
