Received as advertised. Door not hung level...had to adjust. Not super impressed by strength of the door seal magnets. LED lighting is nice. Unit is pricey overall for what you are actually getting. Get's the job done for my application and matches my garage cabinetry.
The temperature does not go low enough for cold beverages. It’s not even as cold as a regular fridge and for the price, you could buy a full size fridge and keep the temps cool
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit arrived in good shape, the packaging was done right. I got the unit out and installed the included casters, which was easy. I plugged the unit in and it cooled down VERY quick. I was surprised how fast it was. I let the unit run over night and put some warm drinks in and they were cold within a few hours. Overall this fridge works very well.
Now there are a few things about this fridge that I don't care for. The most import issue I have found is with the door. You have to lightly shut the door or it will bounce off the frame and remain open. It seems as though the magnets aren't strong enough to catch the door to the frame. Same with when the kids get a beverage, we all know kids slam everything. At least the unit will alarm when the door is left open after a period of time.
Another issue is with the awful blue light. It was cool looking at first but in practice it just doesn't work for us. For instance, at night when I retrieve a beverage the blue light makes it impossible to see the actual color of said beverage. A lot of products have the same logos and writing on the can, they just use different colors to denote which flavor.
I have also found that in high humidity areas this unit will sweat a LOT. It will literally make a puddle from the condensation dripping off the glass door.
I am also a little puzzled as to the marketing of this "Beverage Cooler" The literature makes it seem like this unit will go in your kitchen to be used as a wine chiller. This unit screams "Beer fridge in my garage" After doing yard work all day, being sweaty and dirty, reaching into the diamond pattern garage fridge to grab a bottle of wine? This is a "Beer Fridge"!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler is the perfect complement to my Gladiator Gearwall and GearTrack systems in my garage. It matches my Gladiator cabinets and fits nicely below the cabinets. Holds plenty of beverages (cans and bottles); has casters to relocate as needed. Simply a great addition and absolutely would recommend.
I've been looking for a garage beer fridge for a long time and most are either too big or not rated for garage life. Things were looking bleak with many items out of stock and then Gladiator introduced this model and I was sold. It promised over 150 cans of beer storage and rated for garage life and it delivers. The packaging was not only protective but super functional and made it a breeze to unpack and set up. Oh, and it perfectly matches all my other Gladiator cabinets and fits under the workbench!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beverage cooler is top quality. Not only does it withstand extreme temperatures, it looks great while keeping beverages cool. This was a much needed addition to my detached garage that’s outfitted with all gladiator products. The best part is that the shelves are adjustable to fit any configuration you need and the led lighting adds the right amount of sexy to my “SHE” garage!
