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.

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
Could easily be a primary fridge for a bachelor.
Mine arrived undamaged. As someone previously mentioned, let it sit for a few hours upright before powering on. You never know what happened during the transport.
Only real knock is that it doesn't have a dehumidifier (or whatever it's called), so you will get ice build up over time. Harmless and easy to address, but something worth noting.
Is it ok to keep this fridge in an unheated garage? My 40 year old GE R12 mini fridge finally quit.
Should be fine. I have one in an unheated garage and it gets pretty hot in there.
Will it be find during winters getting down to -20?

Comes with 1.5 Cu. Ft Freezer Compartment

Plugged it in and after 10 minutes, it already has a little bit of frost on the back wall. Reading some reviews, it is an issue. Items towards the back freezing.
After it being on for a couple hours (I know it probably takes longer), it doesn't feel very cold. Reviews say it's hard to get the temperature adjusted right...either too cold (freezing) or not cold enough.
We'll see, but again...thinking this fridge isn't going to last long.
I thought we weren't suppose to transport fridges laying down...something about compressor oil leaking into the coolant lines??
You just need to let it settle upright for several hours to let the compressor oil settle.
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.
