"Worst Refrigerator ever built"
I should love to know whoever the genius was that designed a refrigerator where everything falls out of?! There's a lip towards the back of every shelf so as you have items sitting back towards the refrigerator they will not be level and have a tendency to push the items in front of it out when you open the door so that everything falls on the floor. Fantastic job engineering the worst piece of ... ever imaginable you morons!! Added bonus: most all the components are so cheap they will break very quickly like the drawers or the door compartment holder so have fun with it-

"Contacting a repairman?"
We bought the 10 cubic foot refrigerator as a second frig at our house. It lasted just short of 2 years. Home Depot suggested we contact you. We have emailed you repeatedly with no response. It's supposedly has a 5-year warranty at least for parts. How do we get a repair man to our house? I would prefer a direct phone number.

"Magic chef 2 door refrigerator stainless"
I bought this fridge/ freezer unit as it was very attractive and a great size. What a disappointment. The fridge part never did work properly. The temperature control stayed the same no matter what setting it was on. The fridge stopped working 2 months and the freezer works as a fridge, it kept things cold but not frozen. Other than the fridge light the fridge doesn't work at all. It's only a year old. I asked Home Depot to refund me but they have refused. The salesman when I told him about the fridge rolled his eyes and said yup they never last. Do not purchase this fridge. I feel like I threw $299+ taxes down the drain.

"Junk Nothing But Junk"
This asinine appliance was designed with no direct cooling being applied to the refrigerator section. All cold air must originate from the freezer and then somehow make it's way to the refrigerator section: no fan, no visible means of air transfer. This, we are told, is accomplished as cold air in the freezer convects through small openings between the freezer and the refrigerator. The only problem is cold air does not convect. Convection is the result of less dense warm air being allowed to rise pulling cold air in behind it. Impossible in this case. Whoever approved this design should be forced to eat shrimp salad after two days in this moronic contraption. Bon Apatite!

"Magic Chef Very Dishonest People Very Bad Appliances"
I already filed a complaint against Magic Chef Appliances Corp. located at 940N Central Ave, Wood Dale Ill 60191-2802 to BBB On August 21 2016 I purchased a "Magic Chef" refrigerator for $ 359.00 at Home Depot then two days ago I received a call from my tenant that the refrigerator is not working, I sent a repairman and he wants to charge $375 to repair it and that's more than I pay for. I called Magic Chef to ask them to send me the bad part for free but they are giving me the "running around" treatment and they will not send the part. unless I work with those repairmen. I believe that Magic Chef is possible working with certain appliances repair companies because they will send me the part if I hire one of those companies to do the job, I refuse because they will charge me more than what I paid for that refrigerator and that's not honest. I wish everybody to know that do not buy from magic chef I am furious

Review:
"No complaints here in kona!"
We can't remember what Outlet we bought this fridge from but we bought it approximately 7 years ago for our rental Cottage and it has stayed cold without any incident it freezes well and fits into small space perfectly. Our own personal experience has been that this fridge has been excellent if I had to find one thing about it wrong I would say that it makes a bit of a noise when it's running. It was recommended to us when we brought it to the attention of an appliance repair person that we should take it outside and let it fall out that it could be over Frost that's causing the noise. That being said out of a multitude of guests that we have had and I've only been a couple of mentions about the noise of the refrigerator not actual complaints. I would buy this fridge again. I hope they keep investing the right time and money into this economical fridgerator so that they don't lose quality control!

"Highly wouldn't recommend Magic Chef Refrigerations"
I purchased the Magic chef refrigerator a day before Black Friday, and one month exactly it died out, the ice box was no longer cold and water was leaking, the freezer also turned frosty. I would definitely not purchase another refrigerator from magic chef and highly not recommend it to anyone. Worst brand of refrigeration ever. This brand is worthless.

"Died unexpectedly after a few years"
This compact frig looked great but the compressor proved to be less than satisfactory. Our last GE lasted almost 20 years but this Magic Chef lacked magic to make it barely under 4 years. The few buck you save on Magic Chef will cost you more in the long run.

"Lasted 14 months"
I bought it brand-new and it lasted 14 months. It started making frost in the fridge and freezer, then made a loud noise, then just stopped working altogether.

"Junk made in China"
Worst refrigerator we ever owned. It was noisy from the day we bought it for our cabin. Kept us awake some nights sounded like a ticking time bomb. After two years it has finally quit. Does nothing but sit there. Have to get a new one but never one of these again.

Review:
"Two new units failed"
Bought the 10cu ft model for a casita. Great size for apartment and low price. However, it quit cooling and freezing after just 2 days. Home Depot did replace with identical unit quickly. The second one was noisy but did cool for almost 2 years, then went out. Repairman charged me 100 to tell me the defrost timer/thermostat was shot and did no think it was worth the repair expense or at least the time to get the part then get it installed. Spend 100 more to get reliability and we bought a whirlpool and will see if that holds up.

"MCBR1020W"
Had it for 5 months totally quit working except for light. Could not locate receipt. Home Depot or Magic Chef did not try to fix it or try to help in anyway. Never received receipt from clerk because we went back the day after we bought it they were suppose to try and locate it never did. Refrigerator still looks brand new because it was in our small guest house that is not used very often. I am a bookkeeper and I know they could locate info if they tried. Will not shop with Home Depot again. Could not believe something would break so quickly. Makes me very angry.

"mcbr1010gs failed too soon"
Used only ocass. & it quit cooling after about 90 days of operating time. Was out of warranty. Still has plastic on the doors. Have invested $125 in estimates to repair. Both men recommend junking. Not worth fixing. MC offered free parts with 1 more service call needed. Still undecided. Just might buy a new WHIRLPOOL, with an extended warranty and take my losses on the MC. It did work fine for 90 days. I have thrown out old fridges that were rusted, ole time color but still worked great.

"I am giving you a review today on our newer Magic Chief mini refrigerator."
I have purchased a Magic Chief mini refrigerator for my new bar we belt in our basement. We have owned the refrigerator for the past year and everything seems to be running smoothly with the expectation of the freezer portion of the refrigerator can sometimes get clogged up with unwanted ice buildup. To take care of that problem we just simply from time to time we will unplug the whole refrigerator so the ice can thaw out and we can start over without any ice. We are not aware if that unwanted ice buildup will cause any major damages to our refrigerator, so as or right now we haven't had any other major problems with the refrigerator and we hope by keep the ice buildup in the freezer in check that the refrigerator will not have to many problems down the road until we are looking for a new mini refrigerator.

"Filled to the Brink"
My Magic Chef and I have been roommates since May 2010 when I moved into my apartment. It was included with the apartment and it has been terrific! My Magic Chef refridgerator cools my water just right, and it also freezes all of my food tremendously well. The fridge also has sections for various food items, and I have never had a technical issue with it. As far as the brand name is concerned, the fridge works great. My main dislike about the refridgerator is that it is small. The size of the fridge is about 56in x 28in although my measurement may be off. My girlfriend and I love to eat, and we prefer a very large fridge. We also love to find deals at grocery stores, so it is understandable why a larger fridge would be better. Overall, for one person, the fridge is perfect. It may be doable with two people, but I would prefer that you choose a bigger fridge. If Magic Chef as a company has larger refridgerators, I definitely recommend them!

"generally keeps food cool and freezer keeps food frozen"
My family has had this fridge for a few years now. We purcahsed it used in 2006 I beleive and have had it until now. We like its efiiceiency and the fact that things dont get freezer burned and thngs get cold fast, I dislike the layout of the inside. nothing has had to be repaired and the self defrost works wel. There is not much buildup of ice. I would def buy the same brand and reccomend it to a friend.

"must be unplugged periodically to make defrost start again"
Magic Chef refrig/frzr MCBR1020W, 10 cf, new fall 2009, defrost stops working approx. every 2 mos., freezer fills with frost and refrigerator warms. Part was replaced within 2 mos. of purchase. Was told to unplug it overnight or till warm periodically. Not satisfactory! Purchased as 2nd frig, but isn't reliable. Will be replacing it as soon as finances permit. Can't afford to junk it, but how can I sell it?

"STILL RUNNING GREAT 18 YRS YOUNG"
I purchased my home new in 1992 and it came with the Magic Chef refrigerator. It has never failed me through many storms (living in SW Florida). I recommend the Magic Chef to everyone I speak with and tell them my story and that is why I wanted to make this comment. The only thing that has stopped working is the Ice Maker. It surprises me periodically and makes a batch of ice. I just smile and it keeps on ticking...
