Nice refrigerator, But unreliable
on April 18, 2026
Posted by: Saluki
Looks great for the garage. However, I had the compressor replaced after a year and it has gone out again. The refrigerator is no longer cooling. Debating whether to get the refrigerator repaired again or go with a different brand for the garage. It’s too bad we have the Gmadiator freezer and it has performed well over the past 3 years.

Worked great until 2.5 years then dead. Beef it up
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: Harrywombold
from Abington
Worked great until 2.5 years in- a loop overheated and melted a piece of what look like styrofoam insulation that protects part of the refrigerant loop.
Repair guys don’t want to mess with it so SoL. Great before then, hoping it can be fixed somehow. Also a pain in the butt to clean (you have to empty out and then turn over). The design on the bottom is smart and gets less dust that a usual fridge, but because of the smaller surface area for the external end of the loop to vent and cool if it gets dusty it matters faster. There’s also no alarm for trouble or warning lights or reminders to clean like some fridges have now.
Overall I’d love a ‘dumber’ less technologically advanced (I don’t need 3 cooling settings) version of this that’s repairable. It can be heavier and even a little larger! Also make the caster wheels further out, it can tip of the wheels are turned the wrong way
I would recommend this to a friend!

We love them but not long lasting!
on May 19, 2025

from Dallas Texas
I bought the freezer refrigerator set 2 years ago. I loved them them but about 2 months ago the refrigerator wasn't staying cold. Our warranty was only for 1 year and the repairman said it was the refrigerant had a leak… the coat may be 12-1500 to fix. Not happy with the quality or the company to stand by their product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't buy this junk
on July 30, 2024
Posted by: FrustratedCustomer
We purchased a fridge and freezer because it was made specifically for a garage. It died after 2ish years and will be almost as much to fix as it would be to buy new.
No wonder it only has a one year warranty. That should have been a sign. Don't waste your money.

Nice looks but poor Quality
on May 29, 2024
Posted by: JPUCK
Product is good looking but for the price I would expect better assembly quality. The foot pedal also when installed won’t let the door seal. Even after spending hours trying to adjust it right. It’s a problem on both the fridge and freezer. My unit also came with missing fasteners.

Do not purchase

We bought this refrigerator for our summer lunch program at church and the compressor died after less than two years leaving it unrepairable. It is a horrible product.
