Covered by Avanti's 1-Year Manufacturer Limited Warranty. Review: Perfect Mini-Fridge for Any Space - The Avanti RMS551SS is the perfect mix of compact and roomy. It keeps everything cold, the freezer actually works great, and it looks so sleek in stainless steel! Pros: Quiet, efficient, stylish Cons: Freezer space is small, but fine for snacks Review: Died after three months... - This seemed to be a great solution to a small space in a cottage kitchen. The unit was expensive, particularly when shipping was added, however, it seemed just right for our situation. It worked well for three months and then died on August 1. We called Avanti/Legacy Group and it took a week for a technician to come look at it (August 8), only to tell us the compressor died and was not replaceable. We would need a new unit. He let the company, Avanti/Legacy know, and we were told to email a photo of the cord to the unit being cut, to verify we were telling the truth, which we did... this after the technician they hired, said it was dead! Who don't they believe, both of us? Because it is warrantied, they said they will send a new unit in 12-14 days, and a tracking number at that time. I have only an email address, have asked twice for updates, but have heard nothing back. It is now August 24, and we have no word of the unit being shipping. The summer season is short in Massachusetts. This has been extremely disappointing. I do not recommend this product. ## Features - SPACIOUS 5.5 CU. FT.

Stainless steel vs platinum finish. I have SS and I love it **Q: What is the difference between the avanti model rms551ss and the avanti model rms550ps refrigerator/freezer?** A: SS is for a stainless steel finish. The other is a platinum steel finish, which I believe is smokier looking. My SS one looks great **Q: what does partial automatic defrost system mean?** A: Don't know mine never worked. I'd suggest going to s brand that will support thier products **Q: is it a frost free?** A: Although it is not frost free, we are impressed with how well both the freezer and the refrigerator function. Quiet and efficient. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Mini-Fridge for Any Space *by D***. on October 15, 2025* The Avanti RMS551SS is the perfect mix of compact and roomy.

And it works and looks great! The shipping was delayed by a couple days, but everything about this mini fridge-freezer is so great thus far that I’m giving it five stars regardless. I’ve only had it for a day so can’t speak to the longevity yet, but it came fully assembled with all the shelves neatly taped in place inside, well packaged, and arrived in a couple days. After waiting for two hours (as indicated in the manual) I plugged it in and it got cold really quickly. It’s quiet, looks fabulous and I think it’s a great value!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Avanti RMS551SS 5.5 Cf Refrigerator Freezer - BLACK+DECKER EM031MB11 Digital Microwave Oven with Turntable Push-Button Door, Child Safety Lock, 1000W, 1.1cu.ft, Black & Stainless Steel, 1.1 Cu.ft - COMFEE EM720CPL-PMB Countertop Microwave Oven with Sound On/Off, ECO Mode and Easy One-Touch Buttons, 0.7 Cu Ft, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15000681-5-5-cu-ft-compact-refrigerator](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15000681-5-5-cu-ft-compact-refrigerator) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
