Pros
- Seven years of parts, labor and compressor cover, the longest here
- Uses little power for its size, about 1.2 kWh a day
- Rolls on 4 in casters with locking fronts for cleaning behind it
Cons
- Costs about twice as much as import brands of the same size
- Holds a narrow 33 to 38°F band, so it is not for produce that chills poorly near freezing
