What is the best cheapest mini-fridge to buy?

Posted by on 04 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Cheap Freezers

I do not need a freezer. It would be used to keep snacks and maybe a few drinks. It would be great if it is under 0. Also, if it does not make a lot of noise. Are there any that you do not have to worry about defrosting? Thank you.
Please recommend specific brand names. I have looked at several by googling. It should not be very big. It will go in a small bedroom.
Also, if you have a good brand/model, please tell me what it is.
* cold enough for meat and cheese

Trouble-Shooting A Portable Compact Chest Freezer That Wont Get Cold Enough?

Posted by on 13 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: Chest Freezers, Compact Chest Freezer, Portable Chest Freezer, summit

My compact portable outdoor chest freezer turns on (I can hear it when plugged in), gets mildly cool, but doesn’t reach anywhere near the temperature is should be reaching (even on the coldest setting).

Last summer the freezer worked like a charm (drinks were iced after a few hours). It’s an outdoor chest freezer, therefore I left it outdoors over the freezing winter in NJ (maybe my mistake). When I switched it on again this year (after about 8 months), it is “behaving” in the manner that I described above.

I am (obviously) out of warranty and the manufacturer doesn’t want to help me repair it.

The chest freezer is shown below:

Would appreciate if someone could please help me figure out what could be wrong with it. I don’t mind opening it up to check what’s wrong, but I just need to know what to look for and what to test.

Thanks!
