If you like your drinks "Very Cold" this is not the cooler for you. I swapped out 2 units until I found one that actually worked. The secret, like the instructions say, you need to let is sit 24-36 hours after unpacking before plugging it in. Make sure it is level as well. The drinks do stay cold (36F lowest I measured) but the frost is definitely not part of the equation. You may want to get a mini fridge with a freezer on top which will lower the temp of the fridge.
