This is an item I got for Christmas over 10 years ago and aside from plugging it in and running it for a day or so when I first got it to make sure it worked, I've never used it. I saw it sitting in my garage recently and decided to put some sodas in it and use it, at least for a couple months until summer heat hits full force. These type of refrigerators can only cool maybe 20-30 degrees from ambient temperature so an 80 degree soda when it's 100 in the garage isn't going to cut it. But right now it's working great.
