Gladiator - 30 in. Wide 17.8 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator - Black

I was looking for a beverage cooler so the main refrigerator wouldn’t be overrun with beer and other beverages. I first tried a small wine & beverage cooler but returned it because it wouldn’t cool down below 48 degrees. I searched for something else and stumbled across the Gladiator. I decided to try it. Best Buy didn’t stock it in any stores around me, but the reviews I found on many other sites were positive. I ordered the Gladiator and scheduled the earliest delivery date available, which was 10/21 (about 4 weeks from purchase). I was in the Best Buy app for something else and saw that the Gladiator status was Ready for Delivery, this was about 1 week after I ordered it. I clicked the Reschedule Delivery button and was able to change the delivery to Tuesday AM (it was Sunday evening when I did this). AWESOME! I was hosting a get together at my new townhouse on Tuesday! The delivery crew called me Tuesday morning at 6:45 am, they would be here at 7:30 (delivery window was 7am-12noon). The Gladiator was brought in, the delivery crew was not aware the Gladiator had wheels and a foot pedal that needed to be installed. Can’t blame them, not many refrigerators have giant wheels and a foot pedal. Once I pointed this out, they installed everything and they also thought it was pretty cool. Plugged it in, loaded it up (about 1/2 was already cold from the main frig, the other half was warm from the cabinet) within a couple of hours everything was cold, 37 degrees. Everyone at the get together thought the Gladiator was awesome. While it is designed to be a garage refrigerator to compliment the other Gladiator components, that location would be impractical for me , as the garage is in the ground level and the deck, living room, kitchen and dining room where all the entertainment is is located on the 2nd level, so I installed it right next to the main kitchen frig. While the main kitchen frig is a new stainless steel LG and the Gladiator is black, they look good together. I love it! I am thinking of getting the Gladiator Freezer for the garage. I was showing a co-worker the photos (see the photos attached) and he was looking it up on the web for more info. He found it at several sites and one well known national reseller had a lower price. I chatted Best Buy Customer Service, provided the link to the lower price and he immediately issued a refund for the difference. The Gladiator is FANTASTIC and Best Buy’s Customer Service is AWESOME!

Perfect dimensions to get through narrow doorways; narrow width is compensated with more height. Large industrial size locking wheels make for easy movement. Two pull-out wire baskets for easy storage; sturdy tempered glass and metal shelving with extra shelf supports for changing shelf levels or optional purchase of more shelves; very sturdy door bucket shelves will hold more items. Best feature: front foot pedal for hands-free door opening. Only drawback: requires assembly; delivery reps are not trained to do so. Had to get a replacement after rep stripped hole of mounting screw for foot pedal.

We didn't buy this for a garage, but for a Florida/3 season room. This is amazing! We had a regular fridge and a chest freezer in there and it wasn't properly utilized space at all. When the freezer in the fridge started going I said I wanted a fridge with out a freezer built in. Little did I know they are SO EXPENSIVE, for something that is in a room that isnt' even heated or ac? Then I found this and I was instantly in love. Took a while for it to be in stock but it was worth the wait. I love that when we are carrying out a case of beer to put in there, you do not need a free hand! When we showed family pictures of the fridge/freezer they ran out and got them too!

We have only had the refrigerator a week so hope this helps. This refrigerator is build sting. The shelves are very sturdy. The foot pedal is a presto cool thing. Look awesome in the garage with all the gladiator cabinets on the wall. I do wish they still had it in the gray color but I love it.

Love this fridge. It’s in our garage and I can use the foot pedal to open it when my hands are full
