Sharper Image Hot + Cold Mini Fridge: Stop Co-Worker Food Theft in It's Tracks!

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 09 '04
Pros: Small, quiet, works well, heats and cools
Cons: So small that it can walk off easily
Have you ever taken your lunch to work only to discover that when you go to eat it, there is not much left. Yep, someone got to your lunch before you did. Or, have you left a bag in the fridge for a future time? Perhaps a bag that houses a bunch of ...

Looks great, works okay

by judy_lind , Oct 24 '04
Pros: Great looks and compact size. Runs so quietly you'll never know it's there.
Cons: Too small to hold much besides the day's lunch. Won't freeze anything.
I wanted a mini-fridge for my office because I'm too lazy to haul myself out to the office kitchen every time I want a soda, and the Sharper Image mini-fridge has two things going for it: 1) size and 2) looks. It's small and it looks good. It takes up ...

Sharp Image, Dull Performance

by mikekk67 , Jul 18 '04
Pros: Quiet, small, nice appearance
Cons: Cleaning it periodically, not for food, could be cooler, hot option rarely used
Well what can I say...I like Sharper Image's stylization of their products. This Mini Fridge is no exception: pulling off a nice chromed silver look and smooth edges. Now if you don't shop at Sharper Image often, you may want some advice. Their ...

Nothing To Write Home About

by gwizdavid , May 12 '05
Pros: Looks Great! Super Quiet! Easy Portability
Cons: Keeps Things Cool - Not Cold
Here's The Good: 1) When you take Sharper Image's Mini Fridge out of the box for the first time, you'll probably say, "Wow"! It has a brushed silver body with a shiny silver handle - all very nice looking. The inside is very fridge-like with two ...

Keeps things cold, then breaks...over and over
by m3trader ,Jun 23 '05
Pros: Works well when it works....BUT...
Cons: Breaks all the time....
I will keep this short and simple. I purchased this item via the Sharper Image website as a reconditioned item. I wanted a little fridge to keep in my office for water and sodas, nothing more.

The first item broke in a month, it would turn itself off and on all day long making a clicking noise. Sent it back for an exchange. Got the new one. Within 10 days the new one broke too, it started to make this high pitched noise that made my dog scream and made my head want to explode.

Now i wanted a refund and they said NO. I could only get an exchange or a CREDIT for another high priced item at the Sharper Image. I said I don't want that because this item was crappy, so why do i want to overpay on another crappy item.

So now I am going to get another fridge, which will take 3 more weeks to receive so I can just start the exchange cycle over again and again since I cannot get a refund.

This product works well, but breaks on a weekly basis. STAY AWAY.

More like an electric lunch box
by vrkelley ,Jul 11 '06
Pros: When lying flat, it stores alot of food! it only draws 35W.
Cons: Needs longer legs, better thermastat, a way to adjust temperature. Buyer Beware
I bought this fridge, to stop food thieves kept digging in my food, and spreading their colds and flus.

Major Disappointment. I loved the Quadras, but these 2 fridges are the last products I'll buy from Sharper Image because of unsafe design.

My fridge lies flat and holds more food. But it tends to overheat, because the legs are too short. It works well with 4-6" clearance (like on a wire rack) around the fan.

How the unit regulates temps? Donno. Clue: I had a 1# sack of cheese over the metal screws and the rest of the fridge seemed to warm up. Poor temperature regulation.

* Start with cold food and the food seems to stay cold. Don't toss a 200F pizza slice in there.
* Only fridge stuff that can't give food poisoning.
* Check food with a thermometer! Fridge sides feel cold but the thermometer doesn't lie.
* Quickly get what you need and close the door.
* Like a real fridge, the food seems to need air space but does better when it's about 3/4 full.

YAHOO! (not)
by garfield135 ,Apr 22 '06
Pros: Looks good, cools good.
Cons: Gets very wet inside, annoying shelf.
This is a cute but worthless fridge! The inside of it get VERY WET but it does cool OK.There is not much to say about it except if you want a tiny little thing that will soak your food and chill it then get this.If you don't, then another mini fridge is good for you.
