Know before you buy
This unit is specifically engineered to handle the temperature fluctuations common in garages, which can be much harsher than a climate-controlled kitchen. However, please note that if your garage temperature drops below 32°F, the contents inside may freeze.
The Step-to-Open feature includes a pedal at the base of the unit that allows you to open the door hands-free. This is particularly useful when you are carrying groceries or supplies and don't have a free hand to pull the handle.
This is an all-refrigerator model, meaning the entire 17.8 cubic feet of interior space is dedicated to refrigeration. There is no freezer compartment, providing maximum storage for beverages and chilled goods.
Yes, the unit is designed with wheels, making it easy to move or reposition within your garage as needed. It is a freestanding unit, so it does not require built-in cabinetry or permanent mounting.
Yes, the refrigerator features a digital display that allows you to easily monitor and adjust the internal temperature settings to ensure your items are kept at the ideal cooling level.
Some assembly is required to get the unit ready for use. We recommend reviewing the included manual to ensure all components are properly installed before plugging it in.
