When we bought our vacation home, it had a trash compactor. It was noisy, smelly, and didn't even compact the trash much. So when it finally kicked the bucket, I started researching replacement trash compactors. I was shocked at the price - $1000 or more for a compactor! Then I realized that we didn't even need one, but what could go in its place? I knew I needed something there, and I didn't want to hire a cabinet person to fill the hole... Then I realized that one of these 12 inch fridges would fit perfectly!
So I removed the old trash compactor (good riddance!), and literally just slid this new fridge in the hole that was left behind. It was ever so slightly longer than the compactor, but fortunately I had extra space in the back to slide it in flush. It was honestly super easy to install myself - it's heavy so it doesn't really need to be screwed in like the compactor did.
I love how QUIET the fridge is when on. Can barely hear it. It's lockable too, which is great for the kiddos. In general the build quality seems great, and it looks high end, especially for the price!
The one thing I did NOT like was the logo. I don't recognize this brand, and frankly I think the logo and name cheapen it a bit. As our kitchen sports a lot of high end appliances, I didn't want the logo on the front, but I went ahead and bought it anyway. As it turns out, the logo can be removed EASILY by just peeling it off. The tape they used didn't even leave any residue. While this may not have been intentional, I really appreciated the option.
