Product Description
The Avanti EC15W-2 Refrigerator features a new thermoelectric technology that allows it to hold temperatures up to 40 degrees F below ambient temperatures. With its thermoelectric cooling system, which uses no compressor, the EC15W-2 is almost half the weight of similar size compressor-type refrigerators and has an ultra-quiet operation. This 1.5 cubic feet compact refrigerator also features a reversible door, auto defrost and a convenient door rack that can hold a 2 liter bottle. Comes with a one year warranty on compressor to be free of defects in materials and workmanship and on the balance of the cooling system and cabinetry. Measures approximately 19.75L x 16.75W x 19.5H. 115 volt - 60 hz

This is the worst consumer product I have bought in quite some time. I was attracted by the fact that it does not have a compressor, was advertised as being silent, and would never need defrosting. All of this is true, although it has buzzed from time to time. Unfortunately, it does not keep foods and beverages cold, nor even "cool." My office is rather warm (70 degrees), and this refrigerator never goes below approximately 50 degrees. (I tested with a meat thermometer.)Truly, a piece of junk.

The refrigerator worked well for about 6 months, then started making clanking noises. I unplugged it for a few days, and when I plugged it back in, the noise was gone. I went through this routine for about a month, then suddenly, the noise stopped. In the 9th month of ownership, the unit stopped cooling. I called Avanti, as there are no service centers near me and was told that once the unit stops cooling, it cannot be repaired. A replacement could be sent if I sent them the original receipt.

When it functions properly this little fridge does a decent job however the fact is that this fridge does have some issues. My first fridge starting making a ticking sound a few weeks after I bought it which I discovered was from the fan blades striking ice that had built up behind it. Keep in mind that this fridge is supposed to have a defrost feature. I unplugged it and used a hair dryer to melt the ice and when I plugged it back in the fridge simply did not chill below room temp after several hours and many days of unplugging and reconnecting power to allow the electronics to reset itself. I returned it and now my second fridge is making the same ticking sound so I am once again doing the hair dryer trick to see if I can restore proper operation. This fridge took much longer to make the ticking noise as I have now had this replacement for about three months and the only difference is that I had the chill setting up to max whereas my first fridge was set half way. Perhaps the fridge is more efficient when it is cranked???? Either way this is a common complaint against this fridge and if you do a search on the model number and customer complaints you can find duplicate concerns. Nice idea from Advanti but the results fall well short of their claims!

I paid for ground shipping, and this little frig was here in just a few days, well packed, in excellent condition. I looked on quite a few sites for this item, but the price was RIGHT from this company through AMAZON. Looking for a dorm frig, this one will hold a six-pack, snacks, and even a couple tall bottles. It's fairly quiet, as I use it next to my bed for medications, and no problem. NO Freezer, which was not a requirement with me. What do you expect from this little number?.

Silent and efficient. Just dont expect it to get as cold as a normal fridge. If your place is hot, the unit may only get down to 50degrees.
