Unit was bought in 2001. First housed in a barn, then garage. Has never missed a beat. Don't use freezer portion. Great for cold drinks and holiday overflow.

Comment:

It was housed in a wet bar when we bought our house. Although the cabinetry was close fitting only at the facing, it is labelled free-standing only and this may account for the short life.
