Avanti RA7316PST 2-Door Apartment-Sized Refrigerator - Perfect for Small Spaces

Dave W EarleDave W Earle: I really like this fridge; it got cold QUICK! I couldn't believe that, within an hour, it was cold enough in the freezer to begin freezing water, and the fridge part was cold enough to start forming frost on the back wall; this was because the instruction manual had said to begin the fridge at the max power setting of 7, and waiting 24-48 hours, then turning back to a recommended setting of 5. As stated, though, it took only one hour for this thing to get up to the cold level I desired.

That is the good; now, I did deduct two stars because the door shelving was NOT at all like pictured. They were 4 long shelves, stretching the length of the door, and not short, individual shelves as pictured. This did not severely impinge my ability to store things on the door, however, the star is still being deducted as the image is a misrepresentation of what I received. The second star is being taken off because there was a good-sized ding in the door, as if that side has hit something as it was being moved, and shifted about. This could have happened in transit, but I have no way of knowing just how it got there. The fact still remains that as good as the packaging was, it couldn't...

Greg J: It arrived as promised and scheduled, the delivering agent, pleasant and helpful. Then it waited 5 days to open up for me. This is actually bigger inside than I thought it would be. After installing in my Motor Home and letting it rest comfortably in it's new home for a day or two I plugged it in, and fired it up. Then I mowed the lawn, after which I enjoyed a NW IPA while I admired my skill with a John Deere, then checked the new refer. Set on 3 it's going to keep Rocky Road frozen and, more importantly a all my NW IPA's nicely chilled. BUT, for this next I can only **** like it.

I was concerned when reading some of the reviews for this unit, When it was delivered I noticed a few minor bumps on the box, having spent 20 years in LTL freight p/u&d there was nothing worth noting on the DR. When I opened it I found some very minor dents in the black panel door and sides that did not match the bumps on the box, I could live with them. But I remembered one review mentioned significant damage down low. Low and behold the left rear corner of the refer was mangled and had bent the roll-out wheel to the point of making it hard to level, lucky for me I have a hammer. Somewhat...

William A. Nolan: I purchased this to replace the AC/DC/Propane refrigerator which was in the Minnie Winnie RV we are restoring. The old 3-way power refer no longer worked, and a new one like that is more than three times the cost of this one. This fridge fit right into the same cabinet the old one came out of. The height was perfect. It is just a little narrower, but actually has a bit more interior space because the depth is greater. To fasten it n place was easy. The back is on two rollers, and there is a convenient hole next to each. I bolted it down through the floor of the cabinet. The front has leveling feet which screw in and out. I took each out completely and then screwed it back in through a steel angle. The angles fit against the front of the cabinet below the opening and are screwed in place. To keep it from rocking I put a piece of foam about 6" square on each side near the top. It is solid and still has good circulation. I used some trim to cover the gaps on the sides.

The refrigerator works perfectly, and once we adjusted it the fridge part is in the high 30s while the freezer hovers near zero. A compressor fridge like this just cools better than a propane model. We boondock...
