Compact Freezer Refrigerator with Lock - Stainless Steel

Customer Critiques

The EdgeStar has significantly to boast of: it is lightweight, simple to carry and move, roomy, attractive, and versatile as each a refrigerator and (marginally) as a freezer. Setup is very simple, and the cost is remarkable. Strongly tainting this appliance but, is a thermostat dial which is either incompetently designed, incompetently calibrated, or each
Just before continuing, let's not fail to note the advertised description for this item: "Just turn the thermostat to select the appropriate temperature for your application!"
Falling with equal snugness on the Things That Make You Go Duh list is the instruction manual telling us that "The knob has markings to indicate the relative temperature settings, but in general, turning the knob counter-clockwise corresponds to colder temperatures."
So if we turn the dial a single way, it gets colder. Turn it the other way it gets warmer. We can handle that. The markings on the dial bear witness to and confirm this sophisticated conception of appliance style:
regrigeration------ MIN......OFF.....MAX
freezing----------- MIN......Exciting then, that in practice there is no temperature change in the freezer when dialed to "MIN", or dialed to "MAX". I measure each at a steady 20 degrees.
With some playing, 1 discovers that colder temperatures are achieved, erratically, within the petite 1.five millimeter space in between the two vertical lines separating "Min" and "Max".
Moving counter clockwise per instructions along the dial right after the arrow marked "Freezer", the temperatures I generally get are, in order:
20 (when dialed to "Min")
15 (when dialed to the left vertical line)
4 or 12 degrees (when among the two vertical lines)
ten (when dialed to the proper vertical line)
20 (when dialed to "Max).
Maybe the advertised degree capability is buried someplace within the 1.5 mm space among the two vertical lines, but immediately after numerous days of moving the dial minutely to the left or ideal, I am unable to find it.
Moreover, immediately after reaching the coldest discernable temperature of 4 degrees as soon as, it took me two days to locate it once again though continuing my hunt for the elusive advertised degrees.
This is particularly frustrating given that it takes about half a day or even more for a temperature change to be reached within the freezer after moving the thermostat dial -- and when you move it, you don't know for specific if you're creating it colder or warmer.
Which is to say, this isn't a particular speedy appliance: The manual recommends not introducing frozen food to the freezer till it is been turned to the coldest setting (wherever that is) for at least two hours soon after turning it on. That appears wildly optimistic to me. In practice, it takes roughly 5 hours to freeze undersized 1" ice cubes from power-up using the tray bundled with this freezer.
To its credit, the EchoStar is fine as a refrigerator, and fine as a freezer as lengthy as you aren't picky about hitting the the ordinarily advised degrees for frozen foods.
But sorry, it should not call for a variety of days to obtain the coldest temperature on a device by nudging a dial back and forth within a space of a milimeter. And oddly sufficient, even devoid of the instruction booklet telling me to do so, I completely anticipate "Max" to be colder than "Min", and not be actually positioned at some microscopicly ambiguous point in between the two.
"Just turn the thermostat to select the appropriate temperature for your application!"
Yeah. Duh.

Just got this tiny beauty around 5:00pm at this time and plugged it in shortly immediately after with freezer temp set to max and placing in a new Freezer thermometer. I read the post about defective temp manage, but saw that other individuals had 'no problem' so I played dumb and just cranked it up. Just as well, as it is now 7:30pm and I heard the freezer pump go off. I looked in the door and the thermometer was at rock bottom minus 20 degrees. Wow am I happy. My main refrigerator freezer is set properly adequate to hold frozen foods at degrees and that is what I want this tiny model to do also. I turned the thermostatic control back a quarter turn to rest it between max and min on the freezer side. I'm thinking that it will now level out at zero.
How it operates was my initially concern, so now that that is settled I can only also add what other people have said: It looks good!
It looks beautifully created and I will not be shocked to have this unit for a lot of years to come. I got it to hold frozen foods I take out of my major refrigerator when I am thawing out my most important refrigerator. I'll bet I start off cheating now and start off implementing this tiny gem to horde my favorite Ice Creams or stock up on meats or who knows what. A rather superior invest in at a really excellent value. I would very advise to a friend.
