Fittingly referred to in the industry as “the cube” with its relatively square shape, this BCRK17B BLACK+DECKER Energy Star certified 1.7 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator/Freezer offers a smallish footprint. This makes it easy to place on a counter, table or the floor. With a little organizational skill, you’ll be amazed how much you can fit inside this black compact fridge!
Compact & stylish – This space saving small refrigerator (17.5″ x 18.5″ x 19.7″) stores food, soda, beer, and other beverages with minimal energy (70 watts) and without taking up too much space. The sleek, modern design – available in black, stainless steel, and white – is perfect for college dorm rooms, offices, garages, home bars, small apartments, and RV campers
Large capacity – The removable glass shelf expands the storage space and makes the fridge easy to clean. Additional door storage fits two cans (like soda and beer) or small containers on the top shelf, and liter or taller bottles and containers (like water, wine and milk) on the bottom shelf
Convenient features – A reversible door, leveling legs, and adjustable temperature control (33.8 degrees Fahrenheit at the lowest setting) make this mini fridge even more practical. The small freezer (8 inches wide x 2 inches tall) fits ice packs, most frozen dinners, and the included ice tray
Ultra quiet – Low sound operation is perfect for places where you don’t want a noisy appliance – waiting rooms, TV and game rooms, and even baby rooms where you can store milk for easy feeding
One year warranty – 1 year warranty for parts and labor, and 2 year warranty for compressor part

The little bedroom fridge that could!
Good construction, nice shelving, pretty quiet except when the compressor cycles on and off, though not loud enough to be a problem. Gets sufficiently cold around the 5, almost 6 setting out of 7. The “freezer” compartment is laughable, but it’s how the compressor cycles the cooling element through the inside of the storage compartment. I didn’t buy it hoping to freeze one popsicle at a time while I keep beverages and snacks cold, LOL!
Yes. It is helping the numbness in my hand. –

Just excellent!
I have had other first rate experiences with Black & Decker appliances, so I ordered this refrigerator despite the few negative ratings. In light of the negative ratings, I will say this. You could sell 16oz gold bars for $10.00 each and some idiots would give it a bad rating. My refrigerator arrived in perfect condition, well packaged and boxed. Not a mark or mar on it anywhere, just perfect. I read the instructions (which I rarely do), plugged it in, and viola!. It got quite cold in less than an hour. This unit comes with a cute, if somewhat useless, tiny ice tray, smurf sized. I filled it with water and put it in the ice box. I have ice! I like my beer cold, so I set the cold control on 5, where the instructions say to start on 4. Very cold beer. The unit is nearly silent, very quiet. I purchased this unit to put in my 5th wheel camper when we travel, as additional space due to the camper’s small fridge. Until we go somewhere, I have put the baby fridge in my office, I just don’t know, I might have to buy another for the 5th wheel.

Smart design, good looks, and ready for action.
Since the black color cost even more than gray or white – plus had a week delivery – I went with the gray. Seems a real jip (IMHO) to be charged more for colors, other than the plain white – but thats how it is for most units now days.Anyway – this is a very nice unit. I wanted one with a freezer that at least took up the entire internal width. Others did not even have room for more than a single frozen lunch entre whereas this one gives you that plus a tiny ice cube tray to boot!The door has soda can racks and ample space for a mix of container types. The glass shelves are reconfigurable and smartly thought out. The bottom area is enlarged for a custom mix of odds and ends you need to store – and overall, space is wisely utilized throughout by design.I think it is the best choice of Amazons offerings in this size/price range and I spent time trying to make the right choice for my need. I needed it fast so Prime was essential with its 2-day delivery.Our full-sized office fridge left us, when mgmt did a surprise personnel move. So I wanted to secure my own means to store lunch foods and drinks without participating in a pool (and enduring the potential issues that come with it). So I stepped up to get my own personal unit.This fridge tucks under the desk counter layout of my cubical perfectly. I unboxed it at 06:00 and plugged it in loaded with my stuff for the day. When I came back at 11:00 am – my foods were all chilled and my little mini ice cubes were frozen solid. I noticed all parts and piece parts were thoughtfully taped and held in place so shipping damage was extremely unlikely.So far I am very pleased with it and satisfied that it is the perfect fridge/freezer combo for its design, size, & price point. I recommend it.

Click of death – does not work! Amazon support refunded my money!
Seems I have bad luck with mini fridges.I originally bought a 2.7cf mini fridge from my local supercenter. Didn’t work so I drove back to supercenter without the original box and I returned it. Got my money back in less than 20 minutes including drive, not much hassle. I figured I shouldn’t buy a generic not-well-known brand again.So I went browsing here on Amazon and found Black and Decker. There is a brand I can trust! This model fridge is smaller, 1.7cf and more expensive. I figured I am paying a name-brand tax. Must be better made!So after a few days on Friday, I got my BD mini fridge. Excitingly, I unpack the unit. It is covered in this hard to remove protective plastic film. I removed the tape securing the door and shelves.The manual states to turn the thermostat to “7” for 10-15 minutes. Okay… waited 30 minutes. I heard some clicking every now and then. I check inside and there is no cooling. No audible hum or noise except for occasional click.I’ve read from others that got a defective mini fridge. Apparently, it will make a clicking sound and not cool. The large black compressor does get warm… but not much else going on.Tried a different outlet. Same result. Nothing is obstructing the compressor area from cooling. And others with working units have reported the fridge starts cooling almost immediately. I am getting nothing but a warm compressor and occasional clicking.I don’t feel safe keeping this plugged in!Black and Decker / Westinghouse support are only available weekends 10:30 to 6:30 eastern. So on this Friday night, no help from manufacturer.Tried Amazon return process. Amazon support called me to help troubleshoot the unit. Then Amazon rep tried calling manufacturer. No answer from manufacturer again. So Amazon rep is going to do a callback for Saturday. I already know nobody at Black and Decker / Westinghouse will be there to answer the call. So yeah…Amazon support is great – but had I bought this at the supercenter 5 minutes away from me, I could have had my money back quick – no hassle.This is a hassle! Now I’m stuck with a more expensive name brand nonfunctional mini fridge that I cannot simply return and get my money back.The only reason I ordered a mini fridge through Amazon was because I believed returns were super easy. No smooth Amazon returns with this item. Now I know better.No choice but to wait and see what happens. Not happy waiting!Update : I waited a day and I did not get a callback as promised. So I went back to the email from Amazon on the rep’s response. I selected “not resolved” and I got another option for Amazon to call my phone. Alright, so I spoke to another rep and explained. The new rep said he wasn’t sure why the first rep went through the manufacturer – since the fridge was sold by Amazon, the manufacturer does not get involved. The fridge is “nonreturnable” meaning it would be way too expensive to ship back – so they refunded my money. Great!I got my money back but the only negative is that now I have to dispose of this large object myself. I don’t think I could get this defective fridge professionally repaired without spending the same amount of money or more of original price.

When I opened the box, I noticed that the mini fridge was upside down. The box & shipping label were in the upright position but the fridge was not. Im not sure if this is normal but the mini fridge is working fine so far. Its quiet and it even has a freezing area for ice cubes.This was a warehouse product so it has some minor cosmetic imperfections.
