Beer Fridge
on July 13, 2021
Posted by: N8 in TN
from Knoxville, TN
[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"!

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!

An Incredible and Versatile Beverage Cooler!
on June 8, 2021
Posted by: GSchnauzer21
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I continue to be an avid consumer of all Gladiator products and have always been impressed with the quality. The Beverage Cooler was no exception and was designed, manufactured and packaged to the same high standard that I have come to expect from Gladiator.
The cooler arrived via freight service and was securely packaged with foam around all sides of the unit and as protection on the glass shelves. The instructions to unpack and assemble the cooler were simple and easy to follow. The cooler can be assembled with or without the included casters. I choose not to install the wheels as I had no plans to have the cooler be mobile. Without the casters, the cooler was simple to level using the 4 adjustable legs and I was able to fit the unit underneath my Gladiator workbench. The exterior design of the unit, including the sides and the glass door, fit in perfectly with my other Premier Gladiator products.
I was immediately impressed with the versality and capacity of the Beverage Cooler. The cooler has an adjustable temperature that allows the unit to keep beverages either warm or cold. You can configure the cooler to leave the blue LED lights on all the time or only when the door is open. The LED light provides just enough illumination to help you choose your beverage, plus it just looks cool! The cooler also provides a temperature and open door reminder. I found these features especially helpful given that the cooler sits in our garage. The other small refrigerators that I have owned pale in comparison to the volume of beverages that fit into this unit. Since there is no space wasted on a freezer and the shelves are extra deep, I can place a twelve pack of cans neatly from the front to the back. I arranged the middle two shelves to hold 12 ounce cans and was able to arrange over 80 cans on those two shelves alone. I used the lower and upper shelves to stack bottles of water and soda neatly on their sides. With a different configuration of shelves the cooler would also hold several bottles of wine.
All in all, an incredible addition to my garage. Everyone I know is jealous of my new Beverage Cooler!

Spacious Cooler Holds Enough for Entire Family
on June 14, 2021
Posted by: Rob H.
from Houston, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this cooler on the covered patio for about a month now. It keeps drinks cold (temperature adjust down to 37F) in spite of air temperatures in the nineties. It’s very deep and holds a lot of drinks. With three adjustable shelves, it configures nicely for twelve ounce cans. But when water bottles or other beverage bottles are added, I found three shelves weren’t necessary. Honestly, this cooler is so deep and wide, two shelves seemed to be more than enough to handle a large number of beverages. I’d have given five stars if not for what I perceived to be an unnecessary third shelf.

A great addition to my Gladiator garage

[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.

Awesome Garage Beverage Cooler
on June 6, 2021
Posted by: JohnB
from Pierson, Michigan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This in a beautiful beverage cooler that I am using in my garage. My previous mini refrigerator did not have wheels/casters. I found it very handy to move into place with the wheels and then lock into position with the brakes. The glass front and the blue inside light make the beverages look great while the door in closed. Blue light can be easily turned on all the time, or set to turn on when the door is open. Compared to other small refrigerators, the Gladiator Beverage Cooler holds about twice as much as my previous. I like that it doesn’t have a freezer section. I had to change to a left swing. Door was very easy to change hinges.

Perfect Refrigerator for garage/workshop
on May 10, 2021
Posted by: TimD
from Oklahoma City, OK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gladiator Beverage cooler is perfect for my garage where I keep kids drink and my adult drinks for after yard work. The roller wheels with locks are a great touch as others tend to slide on smooth surfaces. It has a large capacity, glass slide out shelves and a door alarm if left open too long.
