Customer Reviews for Magic Chef 178 Can (12 oz.) 5.8 cu. ft. Beverage Cooler, Stainless Door

We ordered this beverage cooler in-spite of the reviews on this site. We received the cooler in box from our local Home Depot. We got it home and there was not a scratch or dent on it. We did purchase the extended warranty to be on the safe side. My husband installed it under the counter just a cabinet away from our refrigerator. It has really dressed up our kitchen. BEST OF ALL we have not had problem one with the temperature as some folks seem to have had. The temperature stays between 37 and 39 degrees... 38 degrees is the recommended temperature for the interior of any refrigerator. We are glad we bought this piece: great price and it works great!

Keeps drinks cool, not super cold though. Not good for beer if you like it cold.

Bought this 2.2 years ago. Looks nice and worked well until now. Only complaints were the interior light must be switched on/off (no door switch), and no power on/off switch so I had to pull the unit out from under the counter to unplug it. Then 2 months after my 2 year extended warranty it quit working. Interior Freon leak which was not repairable. So it cost a $69 repair visit to learn I had to throw it away. Do not purchase this unit unless you add a long extended warranty. Also learned that the 5 year compressor warranty is useless because you would pay over $300 in parts and labor to replace the free compressor.

Just what we ordered. Works great a little louder than we hoped but works great.

Great product for the price. Would recommend as a cost effective replacement or addition to keep beverages cool.

Box did not seem to have any damage, however the handle was 'bent' somehow. We checked other models in stock and they had same issue.

Works well

We purchased two of these for a built in bar in our newly finished basement. I read all of the reviews prior to purchasing them. The initial impression is a sturdy, well constructed product. We had zero dings on the products (though they were our second set due to a HD issue completely unrelated to the products) and the installed easily. Switching the door hinge did not take long. Our primary concerns were noise and temperature based up the complaints in other reviews. The temperature gets to 38 or so and keeps a full beverage load cooled appropriately. They can make a decent amount of noise, but once they get to the appropriate temperature, they quiet down substantially. Let's be real, could you get a better, quieter undercounter fridge? Yes. Can you come close to this price for what you get? No. The next closest comparable product was $700.00. For the price, the value is exceptional.

This is the 3rd one we've bought. This one replaced the one in our kitchen. I love it, it holds all the water bottles and pop cans and beer bottles so the fridge doesn't have to hold them (more room for food with 2 teenage boys!) We designed the cabinet with this in mind and it is great. The second one is in our basement, on our bar. We designed the bar counter to hold the fridge up off the floor for easy access. Love this product and as long as they make it, we will continue to buy it for replacements.

Works great. Just plug it in and its ready to go. Easy to adjust temp, nice blue light on the inside and can turn it off if not needed. Adjustable shelves. Complimented our Florida room and now we can keep drinks, snacks and side dishes in there while avoiding many trips in the house for my family and company.

This is the second unit we have purchased. The first unit lasted 6 years and then leaked coolant. During those 6 years it performed perfectly. We chose the same unit because it holds more than others we could find and fits the outdoor counter it's built into. The only sign it was outdoors for 6 years was rust dimples on the handle.

Had a couple of weeks. The unit looks good and fits well under counter but quite loud when running. Not sure if all are this noisy. Thought about returning but hate to go through the hassel and seeing if I can tolerate the noise. Keeps drinks cold enough and better priced than others. Time will tell if quality is good enough.

Nice product for the price but is truly only a beverage cooler. It will only cool to 45 degrees F. Failure to cool below that temp will not keep other foods fresh.

a great can fridge that REALLY gets your drinks cooled down. If they had made it 1/4" wider you could get 4 12-packs side by side. You lose space on the top shelf because they put the controls right in the middle- should be to one side. You also lose room on the bottom from the compressor, but that is expected. Great unit for the money.

As an apparent close-out item, the price was right and the free shipping to the store was well worth the wait. The unit was in very good shape on delivery and so far (1 month or so) the unit works well for the conditions. It is located in the garage which can get very hot here in Nevada, so it will struggle from time to time to keep our drinks at the requested 38*

I should have listened to the other reviews. Temp won't hold below 46 . Too warm for beer

Only had the refrigerator for 2 years and already does not cool - lowest temp obtained 52 degrees. Also continues to run nonstop causing electric bill increase. Think twice before purchasing.

Good value. Good under counter refrig for the money

I bought this for a bar project because it was great value for what you got and looks great. The temperature hovers around 38-39 so i agree that it doesn't produce the coldest drinks i've had but it looks good and the mountains on my silver bullets are blue!

Honestly it doesn't keep Beverages that cold! Kinda Disappointed in you Magic Chef!

This cooler has a lot of space and acts as a second refrigerator at times. The temperature can go as low as 37 degrees. We are very pleased with this product.

Plugged it in and it was ready to go. Love it!!!❤️
