Product review (5 stars): Happily Out Front and On Top
With the onset of summer we anticipate the certainty of purchasing considerably more beverages to meet the needs of family, especially the grandchildren.  We decided to place this beverage unit in our attached garage where everyone could access it while enjoying the outdoors.  Before buying it, we made sure the location of the center had clear access  to an electrical outlet as the use of an electrical cord is evidently not advised by the manufacturer.  To make it conveniently reachable, we bought six standard concrete blocks ( Dimensions: 10" W x 8" H x 16" L ) and a 2' x 2'  treated exterior plywood square to be placed as a base on the concrete blocks.  After leveling the beverage center, it now rests securely on its stand and now that it's off the floor it doesn't require one to stoop in order to take a beverage.  The empty unit was set to a temperature of 36 degrees and it very quickly cooled the interior with practically no compressor noise.  Subsequently, it was nearly fully stocked and within an hour the desired temp set to 36 was reached.  We honestly expected it to take much longer so we were very pleasantly surprised.  It's real test will come this summer as family and heat place demands on it, but hopefully by October we will still be as impressed as we were initially. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
