Pros: Holds large quantity of cans. Rolls nicely. Looks great.
Cons: Doesn't cool well. Must be protected from sun. Falls short of Weber quality products.
The Bottom Line: I would stay clear of this product. I base my conclusion on the amount of the item for the value received.

| dkent13's Full Review: Weber Chill Indoor/ Outdoor Refrigerator WE808SLV |
This unit looks great and promises the world. I am actually on my second one and plan on selling it ASAP. It looks great and promises a lot. Don't fall for it. It comes up short in many areas. The unit takes a long time to reach a good chilling temperature and with the lid design it runs all the time to keep things cold. Note that if empty the clear lid will act like a magnifying glass. The result is cracked and warped linings. Weber did warranty this 1 time and suggested putting an umbrella on it to protect from the sun. While the unit holds a lot, try accessing something not on the top layer. It's just like a cooler at that point. I was very excited to get one of these but it fell short of the quality of Weber as I have come to know it. Several area dealers have quit carrying this item as it is high priced and doesn't sell well. They also indicated that the return rate was very high for these items. My second unit has proven that knowing the facts will make the unit much more enjoyable and usable. Had I not built an outdoor kitchen where I put a similar sized outdoor refrigerator for a fraction of the cost I'd have kept the unit. Weber service didn't do all that well in sending the replacement unit either. One day FEDEX showed up to pick up the old unit before the new unit arrived. I refused to release the old unit because I needed some assurance on receiving the new unit. Guess what, it was back ordered and took an additional 4-6 weeks to arrive! After it did arrive it was a real hassle getting them to pick up the old unit without charging me. They finally did get it right. It seems as though the overlap of Weber and Ducane caused a fair amount of confusion in regards to issue resolution. Simultaneously they were working a grill parts issue for me as well and it was then that I was told all of the issue were due to this merger/buyout. My opinion is for the money go for a nice stainless outdoor refrigerator, you'll be happier and leave some cash in your pocket!
