Love it. Quiet and electricity use is low
Works really good and doesn’t use much electricity. Came with a small dent to the back but who cares. Love it Ice tray and scraper are a joke but again, didn’t buy it for those. I’m on solar power in the mountains and now have ice and cold food!

Amazing mid-size refrigerator!!! Highly recommend!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down, this is a an excellent 7.5 cu ft refrigerator!! ➡️ — If you are looking for, & needing a refrigerator to be able to put into any room… ➡️ — Yet you just don’t quite have the space, or you live in a small space … ➡️ — So you are in need of a smaller sized refrigerator… ➡️ — But you really want, & need a refrigerator that is more like a regular sized refrigerator, & want one that is bigger than a tiny, mini sized, refrigerator…. ➡️ — But you just don’t have quite enough space for a full sized refrigerator, like you really want…. Then this one is… an amazing, excellent, high quality, outstanding refrigerator, & choice to pick!! I highly recommend this 7.5 cu ft RCA Refrigerator!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✅— PROS —✅ ◼️ — Runs efficiently, and quietly!!! I have never once, since day one of receiving my refrigerator. Ever heard any noises whatsoever from it!! I can’t even hear it running! Which is amazing!! It’s super quiet! (You really have to put your ear right next to it, or on it, to even hear it running.) ◼️ — All the same great features, & uses as a regular, full sized, refrigerator! All in a perfectly 7.5 cu ft size! (I’m 5’6” & the very top of the refrigerator comes to about my shoulders. For me personally, I think t’s a great size, & it’s doesn’t seem small at all, to me! It’s a perfect size!) ◼️ — Perfect size for a smaller space! Not as small as a mini fridge, & not as big as a full sized fridge… I wasn’t too sure how it would be, or if I would like it? But honestly it’s a perfect size! (Especially if you need an refrigerator, want a refrigerator, but don’t necessarily have the space for a full sized refrigerator) Yet it still looks, functions, & runs exactly the same as any other great regular sized refrigerator!!! Just with a little less space to it! ◼️ — Value, & A Great Quality Product!! Great price $$$ for all that you get with this RCA 7.5 cu ft refrigerator! Good quality made product! Well done RCA! 👏🏻 ◼️ — Great Amazon Customer Service Support! - Great customer service, support, & service through Amazon as always! - For any issues at all! During the ordering process, & delivery of item! And for any incidentals during the delivery of the refrigerator to your home! Or for anything that may happen along the way! ◼️ — Comes with some great, very useful, items! ✔️— Comes with a small mini ice tray Smaller sized, but still a perfect size to use, works great, & doesn't take up a whole lot of space in your freezer! ✔️— Comes with 2 removable, & interlocked shelves… (So that they don’t slip, come out, or move forward. Unless you want them to. In which case, must do so, manually, yourself!) Love this feature!! - Inside of the refrigerator, there are 4 grooves, or slots in total. That the shelves can be moved, & inserted into. ✔️— Comes with a 12 egg slotted tray — That can either be turned upwards, to be used for holding your eggs perfectly in place. (With about an inch sized leg, on all 4 sides of it. That allows it to be stable, sturdy, & ready to use. While it safely fits inside the top, door side, shelf.) - Or if you don’t want to use it, it can be faced, & placed downward, (as it arrives). To lay down, & inside, the top door shelf. Whether it’s in use or not, turned upwards, or downwards, it fits perfectly into the very top, inside door shelf! - Or can easily be removed all together, if you choose. ✔️— Comes with a sliding (free standing) functioning, removable, bottom drawer. - For fruits, vegetables, meats, drinks, or for whatever you’d like to put in it, & use it for! ✅ — Easy To Clean & Keep Clean! - (Inside of Fridge, & all Parts) And the drawer, along with the inside shelves, can all be easily removed, & cleaned!! All except for the inside of door shelves. Those ones are fixed in place, & cannot be removed. However they can all still be easily cleaned, without having to remove them! ✅ — Has 5 fixed, door shelves, to use for condiments, or really anything else that you’d like to use them for! — (Again please note that these 5 shelves are fixed in place, & cannot be removed) — ✅ — Good working freezer, is a decent size, & Freezer really keeps all items Cold! — Freezer Stays Good, & Cold!! The freezer has a decent amount of space, but definitely isn’t huge inside! It has one, horizontal, dividing rack in it. And is overall about half the size, of a regular sized freezer. ❌ I highly suggest following the Guide/Manual that it comes with! Prior to your first use, or before even turning it on! To ensure that your refrigerator runs as it should!! ❌ 🔴 THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT 🔴 🔲 PLEASE READ BELOW, TO ENSURE THE OVERALL LIFE, & PERFORMANCE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR!! 🔲 ➡️ Once you receive your refrigerator, & you get it to the place that you want it to be. Make sure that you allow your fridge, plenty of time to sit upright, & in place! 🔷 THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT YOU ALWAYS WANT TO REMEMBER, & FOLLOW FOR ANY REFRIGERATOR!!! 🔷 🔶 BEFORE TURNING YOUR REFRIGERATOR ON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!! 🔶 🔸Make sure to give your refrigerator, plenty of time, to settle prior to turning it!! ▪️Due to not knowing how your refrigerator may have been handled, treated, delivered, or placed throughout the entire delivery process. 🔲 Because In transit, your appliance gets shaken around, so it's best to let everything settle and consider the duration needed to 'let it stand' before you plug it in. 🔳 If it is transported upright, wait at least an hour before plugging it in. 🔳 If transported on its side, turn it upright and let it stand for at least four hours. ➖ To give enough time for everything to settle, & to ensure that all is settled, prior to turning it on! So that you can ensure your refrigerator will run at its best, & properly for a long time to come!! — ▪️I personally let my refrigerator sit for at least 4 hours prior to turning it on for the first time! Since I really wasn’t sure how they had handled it, during delivery! (That was probably more than enough time) However, I wanted to make sure that all was completely settled. Just to ensure the efficiency, & overall performance of my refrigerator in the long run! 🔴— CONS —🔴 🚫— DON’T PUT YOUR TEMPERATURE UP TOO HIGH, OR SET AT A HIGH SETTING‼️ ⛔️- You definitely 🛑 DO NOT 🛑 want to turn your internal refrigerator temperature setting up too high!!! ⛔️- Or else it will cause 🌀ice crystals🌀to form inside on, & along the back, inside of your refrigerator! ⛔️ And can, or will absolutely cause liquids to freeze, 🥶 spew out, & even explode,💥 all over! 😱🤬🫣 ⛔️- Especially the items that are alongside, & that touch the very back, inside, of your refrigerator! ‼️— Creating a waste of money, & an awful mess for you to have to clean up!!! —-‼️ - It will really all depend on how packed you have, & keep your 7.5 cu ft refrigerator! - This refrigerator will absolutely keep everything cold. 🥶 I personally just wish that it kept a few things, just a tad bit cooler for me. However, I do have, & keep quite a bit in mine. So I completely understand, & still yet, it really does keep things cold. - So this isn’t really a con! Just rather more of a personal preference, but definitely not a dealbreaker for me. I would still highly recommend it, & purchase it all over again! 🚫— Mine arrived with some minor, cosmetic, DENTS, & MARKS FROM DELIVERY 🚚 📦 - However this falls completely more so, on the delivery person, & maybe a little on the way it’s packaged. — The refrigerator comes very well packaged, & with all parts taped in nicely, & well secured!! I think if they would put just a little more padding inside the box, or into the box itself. Then it would 100% fix most, if not all damages from occurring to it during shipping. - Mine wasn’t too horrible, because it was only cosmetically on the sides, (which you don’t see as much), & I got the black refrigerator. So that helped to hide them as well. — But thanks to Amazon’s incredible customer service, they made sure to take care of that for me! For receiving the product as I did! Amazon has amazing customer service, & truly cares about their customers! ⛔️ — The black color does quite often, seem to get noticeably dirty. However I also think that thankfully due to the black color as well. That it also helps to hide from seeing it being dirty. So it’s one of those, it is, what it is, type of thing. Just thought I’d mention this to help anyone who was contemplating, or wondering about choosing the color black. Because I wasn’t too sure on it myself? However I’m glad that I did go with it, & I’d say it’s a great choice to go with! And I’m glad that I did! Sorry for such a lengthy review! I just wanted to try to help others, with my own experience. For those of you, who may find yourself in the same situation, with the same questions, & would find all of this information helpful! 🙏🏻❤️

There are pros and cons.
Delivery: The very bottom of the shipping box was sliced clean off, wasn't even attached. Fridge: Doesn't appear to be damaged, dinged, dented or scratched anywhere. This is very light weight, I'm 54 years old and weak but I was able to effectively get it situated on my own. The bottom drawer struggles to stay in place because there isn't a track on it for sliding in/out smoothly but I don't find this to be an issue for our home. Humming: This has been placed in my bedroom. I can hear it for sure yet it's very quiet too. I can hear what sounds like rain, that's probably the ice box and I can hear a pulsating sound as well as an ongoing sound... So at least 3 sounds and to be honest, it was actually soothing for me to listen to it, it was like white noise therapy. It's overpriced to say the least. I paid $238 for it, it feels almost like a toy because it's so dainty. Decoration: For those like me, who likes adding magnets on their fridge, this has a great magnetic hold. I added magnetic hooks to hand some stuff. Because of the structural makeup of an affordable apartment or dorm size fridge, they can be unpredictable, so to keep my carpet safe, I purchased a silicone mat underneath it to catch potential drips. The fridge occupies the mat nicely. Quality: So/so. I have yet to give this item a full quality review just yet, as it just arrived yesterday.

Good Buy
Great apartment size fridge, just a little small in the freezer space

Great extra-large mini fridge (if that makes sense?)
This thing kicks butt! I bought it when I had several roommates. I have since moved out and gave the fridge to my father who uses it as his 2nd fridge in the garage. It is about 3/5's the size of a regular fridge and works well! I would recommend to others.

Perfect for a studio apartment
I want to start off by saying I just need space for one person. I meal prep a lot and this fridge has a good freezer with enough space for prepped meals, frozen pizzas, overall a lot of frozen items. Just for reference I could maybe fit 20 lean cuisine meals on the bottom half of the freezer. The top half could fit ice cream, steaks, anything. The fridge portion has a lot of space, more than I’ll ever need. I just needed my eggs, condiments, soup bases, and fruits/vegetables. It’s nice to have room though, you could fit drinks and other things. It has a temperature control dial and it’s easy to manage. This is about 5.5 feet tall so it was perfect for the corner of my kitchen. I highly recommend for anything with a one bedroom, studio, break room. Maybe even if you want extra fridge storage on a balcony or garage for drinks. 10/10, it also came with a ice cube tray and a egg rack.

Wishing I'd have read the reviews prior to ordering this fridge.
1st off, I had it plugged in over 7 hours before the compressor finally shut off. I have the temp set on 3.5. (NOTE) While typing this and taking 2 extra photos, the compressor already came back on and it's quite cool in my home. Not a good sign and it isn't super quiet either. The 8-10 year old 3.2 cu. ft. one I have is quieter. Sounds like there are critters inside running around. The top has a double dent, while not a huge issue because it's on the top and I'll have something up there, when I pay $400 for something, I really don't want it to come with dents. There is also one on the back a little bigger, but again, on back so I don't care. They have it protected with a cling film that took me nearly an hour to get it all off. While happy it's protected, does it really have to be that hard to get off? I'd have left it on the sides and top, but it was already torn on one side and looked bad. Within 1 hour the back wall had frosted (in the refrigerator, not the freezer) so that tells me there isn't much insulation in this unit. The freezer actually seems to be doing quite well. I bought this for my home office as I've been using a 3.2 cu.ft. for probably 8-10 years and it did just fine (still does) but I wanted more space. This fridge isn't as deep on the shelves as my 3.2 is, but there is lots of room on the doors. But to be totally honest, the layout of the fridge isn't quite what I thought. I won't use the crisper for anything other than some soft drinks. It (the new one) is wider left to right but again as I can keep 6 water bottles abreast and 4 deep (5th one overhangs). The freezer is small and it is what I wanted and expected on that note. I took a photo with a water bottle sitting inside for scale. 16.9oz size. I'm hoping my drinks are much colder by tomorrow though. My small one has the freezer section inside, so my drinks stayed extra cold, but it was a PITA to clean the slab of ice once it froze over. So, I'm going to give this a week or two before I decide to keep it or send it back. Time will tell. The jury is still out but the verdict isn't looking too favorable at this time.

Excellent product, built to last, energy efficient.
4 Year update: Fridge still chills so well. While narrow it’s also deep and has far more storage than imagined. I’ve moved and had to change the direction the door opened, nice already having the hard ware included in the purchase, made it very easy. Cleans so well and all the shelves and drawers are still in great shape. It’s uses so little electricity, it must be well insulated. Love that there are no open coils in the back. The Stainless and black still look great and is easy to clean. Under 50 lbs makes it easy to move and clean around. Had to de-ice the freezer once, but for the most don’t have to worry about frost. This is a really great product- long lasting, durable, works extremely well, even battling Texas heat.

Inside looks good but not an RCA as ordered
The inside looks nice but outside has several scuffs and the bubbling on top will have to be fixed up somehow. Not happy with the appearance considering it'll be front and center on the wall. Also I ordered an RCA but got a Arctic Chef

It's wonderful and the upper freezer section is the real deal.
Excellent.

Damaged fridge - disappointed
The refrigerator arrived damaged, with the door dislodged. I had to ask for help to fix the door to the place, and there is a huge dent on the central door. This was an expensive purchase, and it’s so disappointing to receive it in this condition. Don’t buy , not the first review that the product arrives damaged.
