Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Got mine in today. Quick shipping - I ordered it on Tuesday.

The back is slightly dented, the front door has very minor scratches. The handle, screws and racks were all included. I have it plugged in right now to see if it will hold the RH.

This is my second Edgestar and I'm going to use this to store my boxes only while my first will hold my loose ones.

Sounds good Dave. I will probably pick one up when I get married next year and we move into an apartment. For some reason my girlfriend doesn't like my big red cooler. :sh :r

This would be a much better looking setup. Do other guys do the drawers/shelves etc.? I thought I saw that Waxing Moon Humidors had some? I could be mistaken though.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Mine came today, it defintiely is dent and scratch with a big dent on the back and it affected the top left corner. But it appears to be working just fine therefore I'm satisfied. The front of it is perfect.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

That is what I hope mine looks like if I order one. I could care less about the back but the front needs to look representable atleast to the quick glance as I will want to have it in a public area of the house. I am glad you are satisfied with it. :tu

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

When you purchase drawers, get in touch with Forrest (GolfNut) here on the forums. I bought my drawers from him and they were fairly priced, perfectly made, and done quickly. I couldn't have been happier, and if I ever order more drawers or shelves it will be from him. Plus, he can work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want. Check this thread to see a bunch of his work.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I'll check it out. Thanks bro. :tu

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Thats my last step. I need to get in touch with forrest to get some ideas worked out. I want to store boxes and singles so some drawer shelf combo type thing.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

DAMN YOU GUYS, DAMN YOU ALL....I told you I didn't need one and I meant it. But when I told MYSELF,
all I got in response was a credit card number. bastards. How come they call it a 28, it looks like it holds 24?

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I'm assuming you could place bottles below the first shelf?

Merely a guess, I don't drink wine and didn't place the metal shelves in mine.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I am gonna use the bottom shelf to keep my boxes out of any moisture that might accumulate, and it's all Tetris from there.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

That's what I did....left that spot for beads, tetris with the rest. I'd recommend one shelf. It helps with the tetris.

I went with 3 shelves but I'm smoking out of mine. I'm betting you might not be near as often. (I'm guessing your good stuff goes in the edgestar)

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

You're guessing right, but even that is a scary thing for me. I have been doing fine with ice chests, but this is new
ground for me. All the best items are going in the fridge, Sir Winstons, Esplendidos, siglo 6, Especiales, Medaille d'Ors,
SdCs, etc. That still leaves a ton of stuff in ice chests, and no small worry over the items in the edgestar, but
I am gonna mellow out and see how it goes.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Got mine today. :(

I just emailed them some photos. This to me is not merely cosmetic damage. I'm hoping they just replace the door.

This was really the only other damage, and I'm not complaining about this part:

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

The dent, yes, the door...WTF? Obviously damaged in route to you this time. They check them before they go out I believe.

I expect they'll make good on it.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I think they will make good Peter. Ca does test everything before it ships. For the time being did you try to fix the door? Seems like some glue could fix it up.

Was the box it came in damaged? Maybe that happened during shipping.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Packing box did have a ding in it.

I had it shipped to my work, so I haven't tried messing with it yet. I only took it out of the box to take a few pictures, and plugged it in to make sure it ran.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

If they send you a new door or if you can easily fix it and it cools not bad for 100 bucks.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Exactly, Frank. Performance is my primary concern.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Let's see how the other brothers edgestars turn out.

I always thought about buying a S&D and then stacking 2 edgestars and having a custom built "cabinet" built around them. It would hide any imperfections.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Sorry to see this, my guess is they will make it all better.
Maybe give you a few options to choose from.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

OK an update on my experience. I found enough issues with mine after further investigations I wrote and email complaining, to give a full picture here is the email I sent them Sat. night.

To whom it may concern:

I first would like to say several days ago I was made aware that you had your 28 bottle Edgestar Wine cooler for sale for $99 on compactappliance.com. I ordered it immediately. Since then I told 4 of my buddies about this new prized possession that I was very excited to receive. On the site I did take notice of the over zealous disclaimer about dents on all panels of the product but was assured it worked properly. I was glad that it did work appropriately, I also was relieved that it was not dented all that bad.

I did notice that the cooler was very poorly packaged which caused concerns at first but upon first glance once I got it out of the box it looked fine. Then I noticed that the handle for the door is missing altogether. Well that was not part of the plan, I should have all parts. Then I noticed the inside was scratched up a great deal on the bottom of the wine cooler, I assumed I would just cover that with a chilling rack that I have. The back panel, has a major dent so I thought I could remove it then I realized that was covering the thermoelectric unit and wiring, but I also noticed that this was not the original wiring. I found this frustrating because I ordered a scratched and dented unit not a refurbished unit. The last straw was when I saw that the wine cooler was not setting level so I tipped up one side to adjust the legs on the bottom, that's when I noticed it's missing one of it's legs.

Listen owning a small business selling environmental products, we often discount products when damaged. However, at this time I have a product that was packaged completely improperly, missing major parts, appears to be refurbished and poorly done so. At this time I would like to offer a solution that is fair for your company and me so that we may keep a positive relationship. First I would be willing to take another unit sent to me that is scratched and/or dented not refurbished and is packaged adequately. Or I would also accept my 99.00 payment going toward a deeply discounted new unit if a scratched and dented unit is not available. Please let me know immediately which one of these options would work best for your company.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I got a reply today saying, that they had no more scratched and dented units. They apologized and told me to feel free to dispose of my unit and they would promptly refund my 99 dollar immediately.

I may get a new edgestar but right now this puppy was FREE. Talk about turning a bad experience into a good one. Compact Appliance is first rate in my book.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

That would make for one very heavy cabinet!

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

They are great with costumer service. When I bought my "open box" unit I wrote them a email after a few days when I noticed that my status went from processing to backordered.

Not 45 minutes after I wrote a email I had a call from them explaining what happened. It turns out the unit I bought was the last one and while doing their testing prior to shipping they found out it wasn't cooling. To me it's nice to know that they actually did check it.

They quickly offered to either leave me on back order and the next unit is mine or they could discount a brand new one and shipp that same day. I said charge me the difference and call it a day.

Great people over there :tu

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

:tu

But it would be sweet!!!! Think of it as a shell for the fridges.

You have the same issues as I am, minus the wiring. At least, I haven't checked the wiring on mine yet. But mine is missing the handle and one of the legs as well. And my door is busted to SH*t.

Looks like I may email them again.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I am getting water in my unit for the 1st time.
Any quick cures?
HELP:confused::confused:

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

haha, I KNEW I should have stayed on the sidelines....I was so happy there.
Then suddenly Sunday I was sitting there and my credit card just levitated out of my pocket
and flew through the air to the phone. I didn't want or need a S&D Edgestar28 and my weak mind
just cracked. But maybe my sitcho will be better than some of yours here. That's just sad, Peter. :(

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I asked around and was told the excessive heat the past 2 weeks
is the cause to make it run a lot causing the water.
Needs to be kept in 77 degrees or less room temp.
Ive been shutting the AC off a lot.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Big f*cking plus one for CA coming through. They either were going to discount a new one (don't know how much) or just refund my money. Bravo to them for coming through :)

So my next step. Taking my credit and spending it on a solid wood door from waxingmoon for 100-150.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

I cancelled my order today. I will take the backorder as a pseudo-buyer's remorse-return opportunity. There is no way
I needed another 'major appliance' in my pile of crap I call my life. I wanted one, but I was not going to wait for a
busted up one. Those scratches were one thing, but I saw those busted ones coming all the way down the road,
didn't I, lol. Pete, did you get a "free one', too??

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

That you did.

But, on a brighter note, I do get an edgestar 28 with solid wood framed door for $100.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

yes you make a good point. But I think compactappliance.com did more than make it right. In fact I'm definitely better off for that experience and it will end up causing me to most likely purchase from them again.

Yep. They credited me back $99.

Agreed. They went above and beyond for me as well.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

So its safe to say, its safe to do business with CA.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Sounds like you guys actually got a better deal by getting refunds as you can make the modifications for the same price you got refunded and you have a nicer setup. :tu I can't wait until next year when I move as my girlfriend doesn't like my red cooler so I think I have talked her into letting me get one of these. :tu

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

Should be an easy sell. My GF LOVES the edgestar idea instead of the little cooler. Thoughshe does want another one for wine now too.

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

When I told my girlfriend she said "As long as it isn't too scratched and dented I think its a great idea. You mean we can actually use the cooler for parties and tailgating now instead of your damn cigars?" I just smiled and said "Yes baby". lol

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

My wife just said the samething last night... Does this mean we can use that nice cooler for the beach and stuff... LOL. I said yes baby!! too funny

Re: Edgestar 28 just $99 in scratch & dent!
 

:tu Too weird.
