If you NEED to transport on its side, 24-48 hrs seems to be the recommend time to let it settle before plugging it in.
Community Reviews
This 7.5 cubic foot Frigidaire is best as a compact second fridge for drinks or a small household, with several reports of solid everyday cooling and easy pickup. It can fit in a mid-size SUV with the seats down, and the stainless-look finish and small footprint make it practical for basements or garages. The main cautions are shipping damage, very thin outer metal, and temperature quirks that can freeze items near the back wall. It also lacks an ice maker, so the water hookup is not meant for use. It is a useful space-saving fridge if you can inspect it carefully on arrival.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, but it should be left upright for several hours before powering on. If it was transported on its side, waiting 24-48 hours before plugging it in is the safer rule to let compressor oil settle.
No ice maker is included, and there are no water features to use. The water-line connection is a shared part from other models, so it should not be hooked up for this unit.
Shipping can leave the thin metal shell dented, and some reports mention more serious damage such as bent frames, broken hinges, or compressor and coil damage. In-store pickup is the safer option because it avoids shipping damage and makes inspection easier.
It fit in a mid-size SUV with the seats down, so pickup transport is practical in a larger vehicle. A sedan with the rear seats folded may be tight, but that specific fit was not confirmed.
Yes, items placed close to the back wall can freeze in the fridge compartment. Keeping food away from the rear wall helps avoid overcooling, and the temperature can be tricky to dial in.

Recommend you try to pick one up in store if at all possible. I saw in the reviews that it can get pretty dented during shipping. It fit in my mid-size SUV with the seats down no problem.
Two thumbs up

Do not do this.💦
It has a hookup because, like many manufacturers, some of the parts are the same on this and other models, but this one doesn't have an ice maker, so the water just goes everywhere.

Edit: looks like around 14% of reviewers received a damaged fridge, and a significant proportion of those are unusable. It's not a deal if there's a 5% chance of receiving heavy trash to haul back. Good price for store pickup.

My 40 year old GE R12 mini fridge finally quit.
Ha! I wish!
Does anyone know the actual energy consumption?
