I used "AFFFRIDGE100 (-$100.00) " for hundred off of this:

Read some reviews on it and decided a second unit would be handy and pulled the trigger.

Not a bad deal at all, particularly since these refrigerators are getting good reviews. I was going to buy a Iceco or other brand that has a physical presence in this country but I may just grab one these to try. Thank you for the heads up!

Costco sells a Massimo CX50 = 52 Quart fridge for $269.00 - I have been eyeing this for awhile but there is not much information on the Massimo's, but Costco has a great warranty.

Yup. Thanks for posting this. I just bought a 42qt (due to space, and I don't need anything bigger than that) for $275 shipped to my door. Costco doesn't generally sell junk. If they had a lot of these come back, they'd stop selling them.

Costway make nice fridges. I think our Unique from costco is a rebranded costway. Check this one out. Remember that price is CDN so american dollars it seems like a good deal.

Ok got the fridge, looks good but is dead on arrival, called number provided and left a msg, I also opened a case in Paypal. Will post resolution but right now, skip buying one of these.....
That's a kick in the nuts. I hope it gets sorted out quickly and to your satisfaction.

If you bought it at Costco, can't you just return it to the warehouse?

Not a Costco item.

Update, the company offered me a replacement shipped right away or refund, I took the refund, now I got that and they tell me to toss the fridge... SO customer service is very good IMO.

You are going to take it apart and try to see what the problem might be right? Could be something very simple.

I'm happy to say that mine arrived yesterday, and has been running off ac power since.

Took 15 minutes to cool from 77 degrees to 32 with the compressor on max mode. It's also very quiet.

Gonna do a test with my 540Wh battery this weekend to see how it does, but so far, I'm quite pleased with it.
