i bought this fridge last september. it is a great fridge with plenty of room and a freezer. it fits into the back seat of a 96 accord and 99 altima and doesnt weight ALL that much. good buy

i'm thinking of which 1 to buy, either this 1 or the 1 at costco that is 3.7cubic ft but its stainless steel.... also sanyo.... costco's cost 10 bucks extra and gotta wait for 10 bucks of rebate... but Costco should have better warranty? some opinions?

Yeah this is a really hot deal. If you want something smaller you could get this super mini-cooler that uses thermoelectic to keep a six-pack cool. ONly a six pack though. Nothing bigger and it doesn't cool all that well. This is the best deal, great find.

Warranty from Costco is essentially lifetime..... if you ever have probs, bring it back and they'll pay you the price you paid, or the current going price if they still carry it.



Also, regarding mini-fridges..... I'm looking for one, but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.... it needs to have seperate Freezer and Referigerator compartments. I had one in my dorm called a "micro-fridge" because it had a microwave attached to the top.....but the best part was two seperate doors. One for the freezer, one for the fridge and were physically seperate compartments. I'd say it was a 4.3cu total size...freezer being about 1/3. Nice thing was the freezer was COLD!!! I could actually keep frozen stuff frozen...including ice-cream. If you know where to get such a fridge/freez unit send me a PM please!
The closest I've found were near-full sized units...which is wayyy too big.


Thanks!

Costco can do you better than a warranty. For ANY reason at all you can return an item as long as you have receipt and get FULL refund.

Like they actually check and will punish you if yours is bigger!?

That's pretty retarted.

But anyways, nice deal on a great fridge!

 

[RedlineSys]

Nice deal! Thanks!!!

 

[RIGorous1]

any other comments on whether I should get this over the one from costco? Is there something better about this one that might tip the scales? cause costco's is .6 cu. ft smaller, not to mention the rebate as suicidal said....

thanks,

Rig

as i'm sure it is with most universities, IF (notice big if) they find that say you're refridgerator is to large, you have 5+ computers in one room or have a microwave (if not allowed, usually not allowed) they state in the rules you'll be punished

but punished is vague, my roommate last year brought his own microwave (he was a freshman), we're not allowed outside microwaves, he got "caught" and had to pay a fine. he kept it for the whole school year and never heard a thing about it after that

it all comes down to your RA/CA and whether or not they care or dislike you

EDIT: almost forgot BB.com lists it at $129.99

Our Price: $169.99
You Save: $40.00
Sale: $129.99

If anyone is interested. Menards has a Whirlpool 4.3cubic ft one for
$114 this week. I just picked it up since I think Whirlpool is a better
brand.

So you can pop open a few brewskis when you're cruisin down the street with the rest of your ricer pals?

I would buy it from CostCo B&M just because they have the best return policy.

Also the stainless steel finish is pretty cool looking.

What I do is cover everything with a sheet when they do inspections (usally over breaks). They're not allowed to touch anything in your room (well at least at UMASS), so if it's not in plain sight, it's not there. I've never gotten written up and I have: Pic from last Spring... doesn't do it justice...

- 5 computers (allowed 2)
- laser printer (sucks up a lot of juice... dims the lights in the whole hall...)
- IR super-powerful toaster oven (illegal)
- coffee maker (illegal)
- microwave (illegal, you can only have a microwave OR a fridge)
- fridge (this exact one, in fact, great deal, BTW)

This fall I will add to that:

- full-sized 2-post aluminum rack (not really illegal, but nice nonetheless... you can sort of see it in this pic)
- converted window air conditioner (definitely illegal)

We'll see how that works out

What is the wattage on this?
I can't find it anywhere. I've tried the manufacturer's website, bestbuy, and googling it.
The univ I'll be going to sets wattage limits on small appliances.

It's not written on the back, I just checked.

EDIT: Based on it's EnergyStar rating of 330kWh/year, I'd venture a guess of ~100W.

from august 11th to august 17th.. costco will have a 10 off on the stainless steel sanyo plus 10 MIR which make the final cost 119.99.. if you don't have a coupon for 10 off.. you can ask the clerk and they should let you use the code off of their copy
i don't know if this helps anyone, but thought i let you know

330 kWh/yr -> 37.7 W

330 kW-h/yr x (1 yr/8760 h) x (1000 W/1 kW) -> cancel the units -> 37.7 W instantaneous

Is that how this is done? Chem E here, not a EE.

Yeah, that looks about right. Lazy CS major here that didn't want to bust out his calculator in the middle of the summer
