Difficult to install the wheels. I do not like to lay the refrigerator on its side to put the wheels on.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Had a fridge in the garage that went bad. Bought a new one from abt. Freezer didn't work in freezing conditions (yes, ironic). This fridge freezes well in a below freezing garage. Other models (standard whirlpool fridge) do not freeze when exterior temp is below 34 degrees F due to thermostats not being like they used to and insulation not being like it used to.
Fantastic customer service and delivery/installation. Couldn't ask for more.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
While surfing the web we came across this fridge with the (AMAZING) ability to keep things from freezing in the fridge when stored in the garage in northern winters. I don't know why someone didn't invent this sooner, but we are MORE THAN thrilled with this product. [...] Looks great in our garage, too. We just rebuilt our home after a fire, and now do more entertaining than ever before. This is the PERFECT second fridge. Other kinds go sort of wonky after several winters. They start to defrost themselves in the summer and make a huge mess. They can't handle the great variability of outside temperatures between northern summers and winters. This one can.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
I was not sure whether I'd like the design, it being the "though guy" garage look, but - when we put it in - I actually love the design! Its funcionality has been covered by other reviews (which encouraged me to buy this fridge)- it's the only model that works in garages! Great job, Gladiator!
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Second Fridge for overflow and beverages. Frankly, I don't care for the look but it's a garage and should work well in the harsh environment.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
After suffering through years of uneven temperatures of our old garage refrigerator, we bought this product and learned for the first time that regular refrigerators are not meant to adapt to very cold garage temperatures (we live in Chicago area). What a DIFFERENCE!! This is the best garage refrigerator, and I now feel confident about safely storing food products in the freezer portion (something I could never do before, due to uneven temperatures of our other garage fridge). If anyone lives in a cold climate, you will be so much better off with the Gladiator!! Any climate will be happy with this great product...

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
The fridge has must have qualities for Upstate NY - insulated, self regulating heat that keeps cans from blowing up in our midwinter nights.
It's not cold yet so I couldn't give it a 5 yet, but the quality, flexibility of shelf design is all that I expected. Plastic drawers, so I am sure thy'll inevitably break - but overall quite nice.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
GREAT FOR DRINKS, OVERFLOW FOOD, LARGE ITEMS LIKE A WATERMELLON, AND ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KEEP COLD WITHOUT TYING UP YOUR IN-HOUSE REFRIGERATOR. [...] IF IT WORKS WELL THRU THE WINTER, I WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Great for hot garages in the South! Does not seem to put off any heat and everything is ice cold inside. My monthly electric bill is lower!

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
I didn't realize there was "really" a difference in a unit built for outside. This really holds the temperature extremely well outside. It's head and shoulders above the "regular" inside refrigerator we were using in the garage before.
Of course, we have the whole Gladiator garage system and this was the final crowning jewel.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
[...].If you want the wheels on find and install them first.(it makes the fridge quite a bit taller so beware if you are on the shorter side) It's nice being able to roll it from the garage to our covered back patio when we entertain. I bought this as a second fridge and I'm hoping that the other reviews were correct that it holds up to temp. changes since we live in Northeast PA. It fits in nicely with the garage "decor" and easy to keep clean.[...]

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Did not know before learning about this refrigerator that an ordiary refrigerator was so inefficient and costly to run in a garage in winter months. This frig provides all the size and features of a standard frig at the same or less purchase cost. It will literally pay for itself in energy savings.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Great concept - expecially for the cold midwest winters.
I am so impressed with the great service from ABT. My order experience was great. I saw the frig on line on a Wednesday night. When I went to order it on Saturday the price had increased. My phone service operator honored the lower price. Then I was all ready for the normal delivery problems but nothing went wrong! The delivery team was on time, polite, fast workers and cleaned up all the packing. They changed the door direction as was ordered and quickly took the old refrigerator. I was left in my garage smiling and saying WOW - I will use this company again. Thanks for a great experience!

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
I use the refrigerator for sodas, water,other items. I can unload the car in the garage, and do not have to carry the stuff downstairs to the old refrigerator. It looks great in the garage. We are going to paint our cabinets i the garage to match the black on the refrigerator. I have only had the refrigerator for three weeks. It certainly looks like it is going to work out well.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
What a great concept! We were going through garage kept refrigerators every few years, because they were not meant to be in that environment. Researching options on the internet, we came across the Gladiator, sold by ABT. This was exactly what we were looking for, when we didn't even know it existed! The shelves in the door are excellent. They can hold cans/bottles of pop and beer. The inside shelves can be adjusted to meet one's needs. The freezer is ample sized, as well. The exterior is absolutely perfect, if you care about a "total garage look".
From the time the internet order was placed, to the delivery, was about 4 days. I was called the night before to confirm delivery. The delivery was estimated to be between 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. At exactly 11:00, they were here. The delivery guys offered useful information about the larger wheels (to forgo using them, as some customers reported that it made the unit too front heavy). They cleaned up all the packing materials, and were in and out in a matter of minutes. An excellent experience overall.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
NEEDED A SECOND REFRIGERATOR AND SPACE IN GARAGE WAS AN ISSUE. IT IS TALL AND NARROW...THE FREEZER SECTION IS VERY LARGE AND THE REFRIGERATOR CAN BE CONFIGURED IN JUST ABOUT ANY LAYOUT YOU DESIRE...IT IS QUIET, ON WHEELS SO IT CAN BE MOVED PLUS THAT KEEPS IT OFF THE FLOOR IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE WATER ON THE FLOOR. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.
FABULOUS...I ORDERED THIS PRODUCT ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND THE DELIVERY COMPANY CALLED ME ON MONDAY TO SET UP A DELIVERY DATE AND TIME. THE REFRIGERATOR WAS DELIVERED ON WEDNESDAY AT THE EXACT TIME THAT THEY SCHEDULED. NEAT, CLEAN TOOK AWAY ALL THE PACKING....GREAT JOB

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
This is great for additional items requiring refrigerated storage when shopping for a two week period. And super for keeping a nice supply of cold beverages. It has a neat rugged appearance in the garage. We like it a lot...
Now if it will withstand the hot summers here in Texas as advertised, we will be totally delighted!

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
The Chillerator is an excellent refrigerator for areas where the temperature drops. I live in NJ and I am using mine in my garage as a second refrigerator. I am completely pleased with its' ability to keep food and beverages cold while the outside air temperature falls below 20 degrees. I gladly recommend this product!
From the ordering of the refrigerator, to the email updates and delivery, the service at ABT was outstanding! Thank you so much for making on-line ordering a snap!

We finally found a garage refrigerator that works! The freezer stays cold even in subzero temperatures.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
we use this frig in our garage which in the winter time mean on standard refrig the frezzer would not work, but in this refrig were abl to get all our frozen stuff in with confidence that the frezzer would remian on with the garage temp being low and contantly changing putting our frozen goods at risk . great refrig lot room in both section [...]
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Bought regular refregerator and thank goodness we talked to retailer about our use so we were abel to return when freezeer thawed a few days later when temp dropped below 40 degrees. Refrigerator didn't come on so freezer thawed. For unheated garages in climates where temp will drop below 40 degrees, a normal refrigerator won't work since it won;t cycle on and the freezer will thaw. Only the Gladiator models work in such conditions. We chose this one due to energy efficiency and we didn't need a large freezer. Has worked well so far. [...]

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
I was looking for a refrigerator / freezer unit that possessed extra insulation and would handle residing in a garage along the Gulf Coast. So far, the Chillerator Garage Refrigerator is all that I was looking for. My old, normal inside unit was running almost 24/7, and still was struggling. Granted, it had seen its better days, but I was still eating up the kilowatts on my electric bill.
So far, I have noticed a measurable reduction in electricity usage. I won't notice the total impact until next summer, but so far, it all looks positive. I would buy this unit again, and from ABT in a heart beat. ABT delivered as promised.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
This frig. is a great addition to the garage. It replaces one that was 25 years old and it is a fantastic unit. Couldn't be more happy except I do like an icemaker in the garage unit. Saves steps in the summer.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
[...]The question might have been better asked a couple or few years from now. Regardless, I am pleased with the Gladiator……….so far. It’s still working. Most notably, this is a MAN’s refrigerator! The design and name clearly imply this. It can hold a heck of a lot of beer. You may even let your wife store a few food items (and white wine) in it if she asks nicely. Put a TV and a space heater in your garage for the colder, winter months in the northern climates, and you’ll be in pig heaven! The man in the house can now divide his time equally between his ‘man cave’ in the basement, if present, and the good ol’ ‘garage lounge.’ It doesn’t get any better than this!With its large, easy roll wheels, you are limited only by the length of an extension cord to roll your Gladiator to your neighbors’ homes for parties and other special occasions. This is a BIG plus! Since it will be running all year round, keep in mind the warmth it generates is a great allure as a home for mice. Place a mousetrap or two behind your fridge and see what you catch. I’ve already caught and killed one mouse looking for a winter home. (In case you’re wondering, I used peanut butter as bait.) In summary and to date, I am extremely pleased with my GALDIATOR but do check back with me again in four to five years. Nothing is forever.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
It would be nice if the caster wheels came pre-assembled and attached to the fridge. Now that it is already set up and running, we'll never use the wheels.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Bought this frige mainly for beverages in the garage. It keeps everything cold. (without freezing and exploding cans of pop) Doesn't show dirty handprints like the old white frige! Looks good in the garage too. Very satisfied.

perfect for the garage, can keep extra drinks and ice cream outside for the kids
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
I had an old side by side in my garage that was 24 cu ft. I put all of the beer, food, etc. into this unit with room to spare. The old unit was loud and ran all the time. This one is quiet, keeps stuff cold, and conserves energy! Definitely worth the premium. I was surprised to find glass shelves not wire - I had checked one out at [...] before buying and they were wire shelves.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
It keeps the beer cold and handy! A great garage fridge. All it needs is a built in bottle opener. I will probably screw one on it.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
Runs great, however the single temp control means the fridge is generally too cold (30 deg). No frost in freezer during the summer, which is AWESOME.
Don't put the casters on this unit if you're short!
Energy consumption seems very good so far.
Excellent delivery--they put it right where we wanted it. Not to mention, it was also right on time and the delivery folks were cordial.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
The refrigerator is great, we had a party on the 4th of July and it worked out just fine, it is in the garage so it is out of the way and as a second refrigerator it works out wonderful. Thank you
The service/delivery was unbelieveable they delivered it quicker than we expected. When they gave us a window of time they were there. Thank you
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
It was bigger than I wanted, but after I we got it, it seems perfect. The wheels make it perfect for moving around to clean out garage. The only problem was were were missing a shelf clip.
The frig came right in time for a birthday party. Everything thing went perfect.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
I built a 40x40 garage, didn't want to have to keep going back into the house for beverages & snacks, and this fridge also stores my overflow from the kitchen fridge. I love the design that makes it fit right in with my tool cabinets and work benches. Very efficient and quiet. I am very pleased with this fridge.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
The Whirlpool Gladiator refridgerator is surely doing it's thing. It's been running well in this 90+ degree heat we've been receiving. We use it as a second fridge to store all the milk we run through in a week for the kids, soda and beer storage, and it's great when we have family get togethers. Lot's of extra fridge storage we need. So far we're very happy. We'll have to see how the compressor does in the winter.
Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:

Very manly looking but door easy to open and close. Worked well right away and didn't have an initial industrial smell. Holds a lot. Sturdy enough that I am not worried about the kids' balls or bikes hitting it.

Comments about Gladiator Garageworks Gladiator Garageworks Chillerator Garage Refrigerator:
This Gladiator stuff is exspensive, but worth it. The ideal set up for a garage attached to a kitchen. We put in trays of things that can't fit in the double door kichen refrigerator and beer and wine for the holidays, Men really like the whole track cabinets and armored car motif too.
