I'm only a few days in, but I am satisfied with my purchase thus far. My wife even appreciates the room I cleared up in the kitchen refrigerator. I followed the directions of allowing it to stand upright for at least 6 hours before plugging it in. I then set it to 34 degrees and it reached that temp in about 3 hours. I then filled the beverage center with about 50 beers (bottles and cans) and the temp rose to about 59. Approx 4+ hours later, the temp was back down to 34 but of course that wasn't representative of the beer temp. The next day was the real test and it passed with flying colors. The bottles and cans on the bottom two rows were PERFECT. I removed the "half" shelf due to it not fitting in to my layout plans. As stated in the book, the beers toward the top would not be as cold as the bottom, which is fine as I plan to store certain varietals and craft beers on that level. It does sound like a fridge when cooling, but it's not noticeable enough to complain in my opinion. The blue light isn't overwhelming in appeal, but is fine for now. 4.5 would be my official rating of this and I would recommend this item.

I bought this about a month ago and it still has an awful chemical smell. I have cleaned it several times and keep baking soda in it but the smell is not getting any better. I even bought several small bags of activated charcoal to see if that would help. Now I have baking soda and charcoal that smell just as bad as the refrigerator. Even my drinks absorb the awful smell. I see that others are having the same issue. I wish I would have read the reviews before I bought it...I cant believe Sam's is still carrying this item. I dont have the box but I am going to try and return it.

I have been researching beverage coolers for quite awhile. My main concern was the temp. Besides being good looking, this beverage cooler keeps our drinks frosty cold. We set it at 36 and had to turn it up a notch when it froze a Pepsi and it blew up. Awesome! I am going to buy another one for my husband's man cave. The shelves are a little strange in their configuration but we just removed one to make it work. This cooler is everything I was looking for and at a great price. I used the "Pick-up-in Store" option and it was fast and efficient.

The unit looks very nice but it took over two days to cool down to 34 degrees. I followed the instructions to let it stand up right for 6 hours, I waited 7 hours before I loaded it with drinks on the arrival day. Now 50 hours have passed since plugged in and loaded, the temperature went down from 55 to 34 degrees in 49.5 hours! I took about six cold drinks out and replaced them, temperature went back up to 48 degrees, it is ridiculous that it the unit warmed up 14 degrees because I put in 6 drinks that were not cold!!!!!!!!!! I will return the unit to the closest SAM'S club as I don't have the shipping box I cannot have picked up.

I cannot give it a fair rating. I have only had it for 1 week and thus far it is working like it is suppose to. It arrived in good condition, no damage at all. We followed the directions, waited the required amount of time before plugging it in, and it worked great.

We bought two units a month ago to store eggs/drinks in our garage. These units do not keep items from freezing if temps drop below 32 degrees F. Our garage gets cold, and our items inside these units froze. Otherwise, they're attractive and spacious.

My cooler is nice looking in my conference room. However, it will not go lower than 42 or 40 degrees. Every time I go check it, it has reset back to 46. Drinks are not very cold at that temperature. I like a cold drink. I would not purchase again.

I regret purchasing this fridge for our family room. It runs constantly and is incredibly noisy. If watching a movie you have to unplug it. I have a freezer I bought from Sams for nearly the same price but runs ten times quieter and half as much. I feel like I?m a reasonable guy but at this point I?m hoping it dies so I have an excuse to buy something else.

Bought the cooler and let it sit upright for 7 hours. Plugged it in, makes very loud noises, I thought they would go away after 24 hours, but it didn't. Temperature stayed at 50 degrees and wouldn't let me adjust the temperature settings. Inside light would not turn on. Will exchange and try another one. It is a hassle to box everything back up and get another one. Hope it works this time!

We let the refrigerator sit upright for a full day before plugging it in, well beyond the 7 hours it states. After having it for 1 week now, we are going to return it and purchase a different refrigerator. It is unbelievably loud. Loud noises all day long. It's in our kitchen and it's the only thing you can hear when you are 40 feet away in another room.
