Does anyone know anything about the Coca-Cola box that Home Depot, Sam's and others are selling. Price range from $550 to $995(plus shippping)?
I noticed it has only a 90 day warranty which is surprising for a sealed unit. Made in China.
That 90 day warranty bothers me. Every sealed unit I ever saw(refrigerator) has one year on the compressor.
This is a chest style box. Like the old Cornelius "sliders" but has no mechanism inside it. It is a self serve box.

it sounds like the Westinghouse  Repro - didn't know it was available from Home Depot. There is a cooler, and electric model.
Haven't seen one, so can't comment, but I seem to recall an earlier discussion on them, stainless steel, not plastic or fiberglass, powedercoated  inside and outside, so will hold up well.
 All I know is it killed the resale value of my Vendo Junior   darn

I have both the 1930's original and the new electric "fridge"...It's great. We use it to keep all of our drinks in and if I had to get rid of one of the two, it would be the old original...they did a great job with the reproduction jr.
