Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

Thank you for your response and I totally understand where you are coming from. Since the device was made by a 3rd party manufacturer, I'm afraid the only best option is to contact Ukonic for further assistance:

Glad you brought this up.

I have read the owner's manual and am aware of that. They do not market it as a "camping cooler". Nor do they state on the outside of the box it "is not intended for continuous operation" when purchasing.

Of course, it doesn't have refrigerant. Not one mini-fridge I own does. They all use Peltier semiconductor electronic refrigeration cooling setup as a heat pump configuration. They are also classified as solid-state refrigerators or thermoelectric coolers.

They call it a mini-fridge and market it as one. I own multiple as stated above and they have all been running years without issue as designed and marketed for use as a mini-fridge. Unlike this Xbox mini-fridge.

This product is a gimmick for the novelty of the design, with inferior engineering.

Being aware of the engineering problems the way to pass the blame on the consumer is to put a lame sticker on the door stating water build-up inside is normal, which not one of my other mini-fidges does. And put in the owner's manual not intended for continuous operation.

Nobody bought this to not use, or it not be ready with cold drinks in a game room, or flooded out the door with water, or iced up non-functioning.

The fridge is not made by Microsoft, you can find the product pages here where you may find support

The fridge carries a 90 day warranty, which has likely expired
