Black & Decker Black & Decker NuCool 1.7-Cubic Foot Compact Fridge, Competitive Orange

The Black and Decker NuCool Refrigerator is capable of maintaining temperatures down to 37 degrees F. Unlike compressor-cooled units, the NuCool refrigerator uses no HCFCs, making them earth-friendly. The small size makes the NuCool Refrigerator great for dorms and other small spaces.

Review 1 for Black & Decker NuCool 1.7-Cubic Foot Compact Fridge, Competitive Orange

Buy for looks alone

We bought this refrigerator because it was on sale, and it suited our small space needs.
It is worthless, it is affected by the heat in the summer & the cold in the winter. We use this as our main refrigerator, beer does not stay as cold as one would want. We buy very small amounts of dairy at a time, because it only lasts a day Product doesn't suit our needs at all, but it looks great.

Cool Little Frig!

I would recommend this frig to someone looking for a small, affordable frig for work or a game room or something of that sort.
Although, it does not get as cold as my husband likes, it keeps things semi-cold. I bet he just piles it full of drinks and assumes it will keep them as cold as a big frig.
Very Nice Color!!

Orange Fridge B&D

Excellend non-freon fridge. It is extremely quiet having only small fans for the heat transfer part. I bought it for my room to hold my insulin pens so as to free up space in the kitchen fridge and keep the pens free of food spills. It also holds a few snacks and beverages as well, but I have so much insulin it almost uses up all the space. I like the color and also bought a mainstays wall clock in a matching orange color. It fits nicely on the low-boy dresser. These fridges come in a large variety of colors when purchased as a Black & Decker product. It had a B&D color print box but the outer shipping carton was from Haier. The free shipping to the home was a bonus. It arrived in under a week.

I got this little fridge, in the competitive orange color, it's really light, easy for me to carry by myself, I got it to my office and after like 3 hours.... well, I thought it might be defective... it was just coolish inside... so I left it there wen home and by the next morning the water bottles I left in the fridge were at an excellent temperature, and I like it very much. buying through walmart.com using site to store has always been a nice experience, so yeah, get one.

This is a nice little fridge, great for your little snacks and drinks. The color on this thing is awesome! I love the color Orange and its so ultra cute and fits right in with everything in my room without taking up space. It does let out a good amount of heat from the back, but that's not really a problem unless you don't have air conditioning.

Happy with my purchase.
Only peeve I have is during Site-To-Store shipping one of the corners was smushed a little. Only cosmetic damage. I didn't bother with returning it.
I should have shipped to home. Site-To-Store is slower. They must have put too much weight atop the little fridge.
I like the small footprint, dazzling orange color, quietness and doesn't hurt my back when I move it. It's a lightweight.

More Bang For Your Buck

If you're looking for a nice mini fridge to keep you water food etc cold you can't beat this deal. Just got mine a couple days ago and works great. Looks exactly like the picture shows. There are some reviews saying it doesn't keep the items cold enough, my guess is that they didnt give it a little bit of time to cool them down. I stocked it full of room temp bottled water and other odds and ends, put it at 4 (out of 6 being the coldest) and let it sit over night. In the morning the fridge made the water as cold as any other fridge. It constantly runs but you cant tell unless there's absolutely no noise in the room. I switched the door from opening on the left to the right and was suprised to find 8 screws holding the hinges on, pretty heavy duty for the size of the fridge. There is a small led in the back right that stays on all the time that creats enough light to see whats inside. The temp control doesn;t really make a big difference between 4 and 6 which is fine since 4 is cold enough. I haven't tried to see how effective it is outside but someone else said it works great in their garage in the summer. I've searched alot of web sites and this is the best deal especially being a name brand like black and decker. One other thing, the bottom shelf on the door is kind of useless for bottled itmes as the ten to slip out, so a 2 liter bottle would work, or a loaf of bread just not smaller items.

I ordered the frig for our breezeway on Wed and it was delivered on Sat!! It is perfect. Holds 32 cans inside and 1 qt and 5 more cans on the door. It keeps all the soda very cold. No freezer to take up space. I saw in another store, a 1.7 cubit foot refrig for $139 and it did not hold anyway near the same amount. Excellent buy.

This doesn't have the tiny useless freezer so there is more room for normal items as i use this in my living room to keep cool drinks closer than the kitchen.
I had a different one before that had one fan - this one has 2 fans and seems to run less and no noisier than the other.
And the Race Car Orange is nice - the photo here is lighter - it is a nice dark-burnt orange.

Does what it promises to at a great price

Been using this in my office for 3 weeks now. It's very quiet (not silent) and keeps my food and soda icy cold, what more could I ask for?
My only complaint is that the bars that keep stuff in the door are "loose" so that my soda cans can fall out of the door when I open or close it too quickly, but it's not a big deal.
Also this solves the age old mystery of what happens to the light when you close the door: This LED light definitely stays ON. There's even a sticker inside telling you that this is perfectly normal.

More than I expected

I did not expect this little fridge to cool as well as it does given the fact that it is a thermo electric unit instead of having a compressor but it does.
Yeah, it takes longer for it to cool stuff down but if you are not in a hurry, it makes a great dorm fridge or for putting it somewhere where you'd like to a small fridge with drinks or whatever.
It's gorgeous.
However, for me it's a little too small. I may still keep it for the looks but haven't made my mind up yet.
Also, I only gave it 4 stars for durability 'cause I HAD to rate everything and I haven't had it long enough to know anything about that but everything else, I gave 5 stars.
At $58 bucks, I don't see how one can lose.
Recommended in case someone didn't figure that one out :)
