This "Refrigerator" does NOT refrigerate in the traditional way. It uses a thermoelectric cooler. It's internal temperature is based upon the outside ambient temperature.
Most models (of this type) will typically lower the temperature inside by 25-40 degrees. So looking at extremes, if the unit is in an 80 degree environment, you can expect (average) to see inside temperature about 50 degrees.
Refrigerated foods should be kept at about 40 degrees or lower to prevent spoilage. This unit is more to keep your lunch cool (at the office) before you eat or to keep some beverages cool (in the shop). If you want an actual refrigerator, then make sure you get one with a compressor and refrigerant in it to get the better performance. Of course that will likely mean an increase in price.
My unit works wonderful and is exactly what I expected. To those who had a bad experience, either you have a defective device, or you don't understand the technology that you bought. Caveat Emptor.
