Avanti (SHP2501B) 2.5 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator Reviews

I had the 1.7 cu. ft. version of this refrigerator in my truck but it was a little too small. I purchase this 2.5 version and have had it in my truck for a week and so far so good. I was very happy with the smaller versions performance,(which I had for two years), so I’m sure I’ll love this one. This refrigerator is great for semi trucks because it doesn’t have a motor to rattle apart. The regular Freon type refrigerators don’t last long in a semi. They really take a beating. The superconductive refrigerator have no problems, at least none I’ve had. If you drive a semi and don’t want to spend the $800.00 price for a truck refrigerator, this is a great way to go. Hope this helps.

Very poor. Refrigerator arrived damage with part of the back pushed in. It also was much poorer quality than we had anticipated. When I returned it employees were more concerned with Walmart policy and procedure than in helping me their customer. Overall a very poor experience. We returned and did not reorder.

I bought this refrigerator a while back and it never kept my food cold. Everything i ever put in this thing has spoiled. It works like a cooler and not a refrigerator. Drinks get cool, never cold. Nothing gets cold. I called Avanti customer service twice, and both times they said they would pick up the one i have and replace it with a new one, and they never did that. Never showed up to pick up nothing. Twice i called! I still have my useless fridge which was a waste of the little money i do manage to make. Would never buy any product with the Avanti brand name again since they never did anything to resolve my problem, nor did they refund me my money.

Pros: Cons: unable to fill my order...

I purchased this unit for use in my truck, I drive over the road and this is the best fridge for that purpose if you have the room,it uses very little power and works very well just remember that Thermo-electic fridge"s only cool to 40 to 45 degrees lower than existing room temperature,it is also very quiet running,it has a lot of room in it because it does not have a compressor,it will work fine in a house or office also or dorm,hope this helps

We bought this fridge to keep our mother's favorite foods and drinks on hand in her room at the nursing home. We wanted one without a freezer compartment. Since we didn't need one it would just be taking up space, and those little freezer compartments always have 4 inches of ice around them and constantly need to be defrosted. This was one of very few choices out there without the freezer, and many reviews said how quiet it is, which was a big plus. Food must be refrigerated at a MAXIMUM of 40 degrees. Over 40 degrees bacteria sets in. This fridge has settings of low, medium, and high. At the highest setting it has never cooled below 42 degrees. We have moved it all around the room, thinking maybe the sun is hitting it during the day, or whatever. But no matter where we put it the temp never dropped below 42 and sometimes was as high as 50. This is all on the maximum setting possible. Not acceptable. We will be returning it. If it doesn't cool at a safe temperature out of the box, it can only go downhill with age.

It arrived with bent parts due to box it is shipped in has no bracing around it. Would not buy again

This Refrigerator is Excellent, it gets cold fast and is very quiet running, the fit and finish were good and Walmart had it here in two days, I plan to purchase one more.
