BLACK+DECKER 1.7 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator, Energy Star, BCRK17B, Black

Exactly what I needed at work. It looks like it could hold a 24 pack of 12oz cans. I use it to hold 1ltr of water in the door and 15 pack of 16oz Monster Energy drinks. It gets cold, nearly silent. It's small so it doesn't take up much space. There was no damage in shipping, even to the box. The black matches the top of my toolbox and cabinet, so it blends right in. The freezer works great too! The miniature ice cube tray is great for ice once a day.

I got this for my sailboat beacause I don't want to eat out because of the pandemic. I couldn't be happier. The door was super easy to reverse. I was able to get 6 burger patties and the ice cube tray that came with the fridge in the freezer together. It's super cold. I have it set at 5 (of 7). Any higher and the orange juice freezes a little. The main attraction is the energy usage. 30 amps isn't that much in the power department (3600 watts max) and I'm able to charge my phone, run lights, heat and a coffee pot while the fridge is plugged in without any issues. It's gonna stay on the boat. I should have bought something like this years ago. I've wasted so much leftover smoked salmon dip over the years. Well, no more. The prevailing logic for boats, vans and RVs has shifted toward residential fridges for a number of reasons: they get colder: they don't have expensive parts: they don't break down as often: and they are overall much cheaper. This little fridge will run great on battery power when I'm underway. I don't anticipate any issues. It's small enough that I'll be able to build it into the salon on the boat -- that will protect it better from the saltwater air. If I remember, I'll post an update in a year.

Has some scratches on the top and sides of the fridge but seems to run well. Got cold pretty quickly and seems to be quiet. Not sure where the drip tray goes but we will figure that out. This should work well for our son at school.

Am writing this review almost 6 yrs later. This mini fridge is like gold , I bought it for my room to have my cold beverages with me in my room for when am not sleepy . 6 yrs later it’s like I just bought the little fridge . There’s nothing I can say enough about this mini fridge, I have no complaint you don’t even hear it working . I never expect it to be as good as it is . Black& decker is the way to go 💯

I kept finding water (or condensation) in the fridge, and often times spoiled food. After much research on what level to have the temp dial on, I finally bought a thermometer. No matter what "number" the dial is on, the fridge doesn't get cool enough. Water is cool enough, but food will spoil every time. Too late to send back. When I buy another to replace it, it wont be this brand.

Seems I have bad luck with mini fridges. I originally bought a 2.7cf mini fridge from my local supercenter. Didn’t work so I drove back to supercenter without the original box and I returned it. Got my money back in less than 20 minutes including drive, not much hassle. I figured I shouldn’t buy a generic not-well-known brand again. So I went browsing here on Amazon and found Black and Decker. There is a brand I can trust! This model fridge is smaller, 1.7cf and more expensive. I figured I am paying a name-brand tax. Must be better made! So after a few days on Friday, I got my BD mini fridge. Excitingly, I unpack the unit. It is covered in this hard to remove protective plastic film. I removed the tape securing the door and shelves. The manual states to turn the thermostat to “7” for 10-15 minutes. Okay... waited 30 minutes. I heard some clicking every now and then. I check inside and there is no cooling. No audible hum or noise except for occasional click. I’ve read from others that got a defective mini fridge. Apparently, it will make a clicking sound and not cool. The large black compressor does get warm... but not much else going on. Tried a different outlet. Same result. Nothing is obstructing the compressor area from cooling. And others with working units have reported the fridge starts cooling almost immediately. I am getting nothing but a warm compressor and occasional clicking. I don’t feel safe keeping this plugged in! Black and Decker / Westinghouse support are only available weekends 10:30 to 6:30 eastern. So on this Friday night, no help from manufacturer. Tried Amazon return process. Amazon support called me to help troubleshoot the unit. Then Amazon rep tried calling manufacturer. No answer from manufacturer again. So Amazon rep is going to do a callback for Saturday. I already know nobody at Black and Decker / Westinghouse will be there to answer the call. So yeah... Amazon support is great - but had I bought this at the supercenter 5 minutes away from me, I could have had my money back quick - no hassle. This is a hassle! Now I’m stuck with a more expensive name brand nonfunctional mini fridge that I cannot simply return and get my money back. The only reason I ordered a mini fridge through Amazon was because I believed returns were super easy. No smooth Amazon returns with this item. Now I know better. No choice but to wait and see what happens. Not happy waiting! Update : I waited a day and I did not get a callback as promised. So I went back to the email from Amazon on the rep’s response. I selected “not resolved” and I got another option for Amazon to call my phone. Alright, so I spoke to another rep and explained. The new rep said he wasn’t sure why the first rep went through the manufacturer - since the fridge was sold by Amazon, the manufacturer does not get involved. The fridge is “nonreturnable” meaning it would be way too expensive to ship back - so they refunded my money. Great! I got my money back but the only negative is that now I have to dispose of this large object myself. I don’t think I could get this defective fridge professionally repaired without spending the same amount of money or more of original price.

Only had it for a week but so far I'm thrilled with it. Delivery was right on time and not one single mark, scratch or dent. Started right up, no noise whatsoever and today it made my day. My Klondike bar was frozen and not a bit soft. Great price too. Now it's not a kitchen fridge, shouldn't expect it to be, but it's absolutely perfect for a bedroom fridge. I couldn't be happier with it, and once again, Amazon & Black and Decker came through for me. UPDATE: Going on 4 months and my opinion has not changed. This Black & Decker little fridge is awesome. I CAUTION you tho if you jerk the door open, everything in the door is coming out, ready or not. Just use common sense when opening the door. It happened once and I learned a lesson. That would not hinder me from buying it again tho or for a gift to someone. UPDATE: 1/2022 Hot glued the little bars on the door shelves so no more falling food when you open the door.

This fridge is amazing. I got this because my roommates like to drink my stuff, and also eat snacks that I like. I put a whole 12 pack of Dr pepper in it, 12 nitro coffees, and a whole case of bottled water, with room. The beer fits in this also even the bottle kind, tallboys fit also. The freezer part with the ice cubes really works, there are different levels that the fridge can be on, I have mine on 6 and it's really cold but it can go up to 7. I also started to keep some half and a half in it because I like to make tea in my room. It is super quiet also, I don't even notice that there is a fridge in here. It also has a nice place for butter or maybe chocolate. You can definitely put a couple of popsicles in the freezer part also. If your on the fence about this fridge, just buy it and you won't regret it. I decided to set up a mini kitchen in my room with a microwave, kettle, and electric skillet. Really great edition if you want to be a hermit in your room.

Great little machine

beer is cold!! no real issues; i reversed the door and the plastic plug broke; interestingly the box arrived in a fairly sturdy styrofoam packed box but it didn't have a cardboard bottom.....it had been retaped with packing tape, which made me wonder how it had been handled but so far things are fine
