Not sure what everyone is complaining about

I have had the Gladiator refrigerator for 12 years now. It still work fine, except for the defrost condensate line. It seems to freeze up and will spill over and drain into the freezer.
If I manually defrost the whole refrigerator it will work fine for 6 months. I just cope with it and place a baking pan below the port to catch the water that than freezes into an ice loaf. I only need to empty it every 6 months. We access the freezer and the drink refrigerator several times daily in the garage. I like how it matches all of the garage gladiator cabinets benches and plugstrip

Very Disappointed Stopped working just under 3yrs

from Illinois
I bragged about the fridge for first 2 years, as it fit well with my garage decor and did the job. Then it stopped cooling completely. Compressor runs and is warm but no cooling at all. It is a shame as the product had potential, but like some have said it may not be built for a garage. The 1 year warranty is also disappointing for the price of the fridge and for something that should last at least 7-10 years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not a good investment

The entire premise of these products is deceptive.
They are marketed as if they are designed specifically for garages however they cannot tolerate the temperature fluctuations that nearly all garages experience.
Unless your garage is fully climate controlled, just as the inside of your house would be, this refrigerator will break down in less than two years.
Refrigerators are clearly not made to last like they used to be. I had a refrigerator from the 80s in a carport for over 10 years without an issue. The company was accommodating enough to give me service on this refrigerator but I am not sure what good that will be long-term.
Again, the most troubling thing about these products is that they are marketed to suggest that they can be used in a place where they cannot be used. If they were marketed to be in your basement, that would be less of an issue.

I waited about a year for it to be available and I'm glad I did. So far very pleased. Love how easily it rolls around the garage. Thinking about getting the matching freezer now.

Waste of Money
on May 27, 2021

from Columbus, OH
I bought the Gladiator Refrigerator in Feb 2020. I stored it in my garage (I live in Central Ohio). By May of 2021 it was no longer working. As many reviews have said, this thing does not last very long. It is way too expensive to only last that long. It looks nice but doesn't work. Do yourself a favor and buy a cheaper refrigerator from your local hardware store. I'm sure it will last longer than this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Second Gladiator refrigerator to quickly fail
on March 27, 2021
Posted by: Tim W
from Windham, NH
I had bought a first Gladiator refrigerator and it failed in about 2 years (beyond the warrantee). I thought it might just be a random problem and liked the other feature of the Gladiator, and bought a second Gladiator to replace it. It also failed in about 2 years. Quality control is apparently a problem here.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
