Review: The best - The looks of this there’s no noise. The quality build is awesome for the value that it has its perfect looks good in my renovated back room. It holds all the drinks that I needed to hold and it’s just a drink fridge. I love it delivery and speedy it came here when it said it was going to. It was delivered when it said it was going to thank you.
Review: Extremely Disappointed with Product and Service - I purchased this SMEG fridge with high expectations due to the brand’s reputation and price point. Unfortunately, the unit has been a huge disappointment from the start. The fridge constantly trips my circuit breaker, even though I just had over $20,000 of electrical work done in my home that passed inspection. A licensed electrician confirmed that the issue appears to be with the fridge’s internal wiring, not my home. desertcart has refused to replace the unit, despite just purchasing it. The delivery process was also a disaster — the delivery team damaged my floors due to careless handling. They scraped the fridge across my hardwood floors without even picking it up to move. For such an expensive appliance, I expected far better quality and service. I would not recommend this product or this buying experience to anyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice apartment sized fridge.
*by J***J on April 4, 2026*

It's a beautiful fridge. The freezer compartment takes some getting use to since it is so small. Extra care must be taken to ensure it is closed correctly. User should be a fan of fresh, not frozen, food.
