Rest, assured, I will update this review when I have had it more than the four days (14 days now, still good) we have had it.- undamaged upon delivery. Maybe they responded to reviewers complaints, because it came very thoroughly cosseted in styrofoam.Since I am the big eater in our household, I am always crowding my wife’s stuff into a corner of the refrigerator’s freezer compartment. She can’t find the ice cream or chicken fettuccine or whatever, covered as it is by hotdogs, bacon, and tubs of homemade spaghetti sauce. This will solve the problem, I think. We shall see.- I Just let it sit as advised for the first 11 hours with power off to let any fluids settle.- Turned it on and set it to the “medium“ number of four as recommended to start.- very quiet indeed. If you’re hearing isn’t that good, you know the compressor is on because the green light on the front goes on.- Working temperature is supposed to be reached within 24 hours. The walls were freezing within three hours. this was at an external temperature of 64° F.I worry that the insulation might be somewhat insufficient. I am tempted to wrap it an extra insulation, but that could cover the heat exchange coils and defeat their purpose.I have settled by throughing a couple of heavy foam pads atop the lid. It seems to be efficient enough as it is. It has stayed near 3.5 F °for days now at a setting one number warmer than medium.As I said, I will jump right on it with an update if there are any problems. Reading the reviews– it seems that reliability can be a problem in a somewhat random way. I am hoping that I am one of the satisfied customers.p.s. I didn’t tell my wife that I purchased it. It’s stashed in a corner of the garage (we live in a mild climate) and so far she hasn’t even noticed it. It’s that inconspicuous.
