Product review (2 stars): Edgestar model CBR901SG
Wow - If I had read some of these reviews ahead of time. We would have spent a bit more money for a better unit,(we spent $500) or at least a better product.  Thought we had done our homework.  No one goes in thinking...oh I'm going out and buying a Bad Product today.  We purchased this 15" EdgeStar 94 Can Silver Trim Built In  Locking Beverage Cooler unit, May 19 2012.  From the beginning the thing is louder than our dishwasher.  Seriously.  We couldn't believe all that was coming from such a small unit.  Our refrigerator when making ice cubes is quieter.  Then there's the mysterious increase in our electric bill.  I know its advertised that there will be a modest increase.  But that's not what we're seeing.  So to the real problem.  Two weeks ago the unit started icing up.  Not a small amount, but chunks of ice on the grates, in the back of the unit.  I tried reducing the temperature.  I tried removing items from the refrigerator, until there was nothing left inside.  Everyday I've had to empty it out and remove the ice.  Googled information states: Ice build up will only make the problem worse and must be removed.  So we contacted Ideal Wine Coolers who were more than happy to give us the service number to Edgestar.  I talked with Michael in the customer service dept.  He said Ice build up is normal.  He really wasn't much help and offered two words.  Yes and No.  When pressed he added it could be from the temperature in the room or in the unit.  That the unit does not self defrost.  When pressed further he said factory warranty is 90 days and 1 year for parts.  Obviously they are aware of this ice build up.  I haven't found any place where they state this is a normal function of the product.  Who wants to bend over and get on their knee's daily to clean out a tiny refrigerator.  So pretty much I'm to just shut up and put up.  Since buying it we notice Edgestar now calls it a 80can unit.  But uses the same Model number hmmmm.
