Better Houseware 1496.6 Beverage Can Dispenser, Chrome

I bought this dispenser to replace a broken white plastic one. My refrigerator is counter depth, so I was limited in the max. depth I can use. This dispenser is very durable (chrome) and fits perfectly. When getting empty, beverages can become misaligned in the rear or if something next to dispenser pushes it. A minor rearranging is needed periodically to straighten; however, the cans do stay in place. This is a great replacement dispenser at a reasonable cost and I suspect that this one will last much longer than it's plastic predecessor.

I have 4 of these. Can't say how much space they have saved in my refrig! Unlike the other reviewer, I found it very easy. Just slide the cans in the bottom row until full, then fill the top row! How easy can it be. Works better than the box , and a lot cleaner!!! I'm concerned with what goes in my refrig these days... Not to mention the metal will last a lifetime! It's well made, heavy metal, and attractive - and it works!

Doesn't hold a 12 pk of 12 oz pop cans and once there are no cans in the top layer, the lower cans don't roll to the front opening.

First let me just say almost all the negative reviews here on amazon is valid. However I'm stilling giving this rack / dispenser 4 stars because its a) cheap, and b) absolutely workable if you fiddle with it a little.The packaging for this rack is just a plastic bag, and this, IMHO contributes to 80% of the negative reviews, simply because the unit will get bent and warped in transit. Yes the material is fairly soft and it doesn't take much to bend one of the rods and throw the whole thing out of alignment. When I first got mine, the cans on the 2nd level shelf wouldn't drop down properly (first can on the 2nd row always end up stuck in front of the last can on the bottom row). But within 5 minutes, I was able to adjust the back end of the rack so it sits higher, rework the 2nd level rails' angle so cans now drop with greater force, and twist the frame back straight enough so the cans roll down evenly.It's a cheap rack that serves its purpose, if you are willing to work with it a little.

I had really low expectations for this item. I mean, I just wanted something that held sodas in the refrigerator... not looking for a miracle here. I can easily say that this thing is so far from what it should be it is ridiculous. Where do I start?#1 I didn't notice, but it holds 10 sodas and you can stick an eleventh one on the bottom row. But really? Not a 12 pack, just seems a bit odd. This isn't a deal breaker, but it just seems like this purpose built device should handle the defacto standard on how sodas/beer is sold.#2 The back edge catcher doesn't always catch the soda. So when filling the first time, the #2 soda shot off the back and landed against the back wall of the refrigerator. Maybe Diet Coke isn't within their specs?#3 The very first can turned 90 degrees as it was feeding in. The only way this can happen is if the tray is too wide - had they designed this for STANDARD coke/beer cans, this wouldn't be an issue. I can stick my pinky between the cans and the sides. This needs to be more like a few millimeters, but it is cheaper to manufacture when the tolerances aren't a part of the design - so I am betting they just sized it up a rediculous amount rather than specifiying this.#4 You'd think the weight of the beverages would hold it in place, but it doesn't. My refrigerator has glass shelves, this thing is all over the place - regardless of how many cokes are in there. 3 pennies worth of rubber would fix this.Keep shopping, skip this dud. Why isn't there a zero stars?

I actually put four of these in the pantry to use for can goods such as soups, diced tomatoes, etc. They are great for organizing your can goods and makes it easy to see when you need more of something. I also rigged them so the top cans do not roll to the bottom because I wanted to have two different items in them. If you like organization in your kitchen then you will love these.

I really wanted this to work so I took a chance despite some of the bad reviews. Yes, it is a perfect size for not-so-deep refrigerators. No, it's not engineered well. I agree with other reviewers that the can-loading isn't easy. The back side isn't designed well enough for the cans to roll correctly into place. The cans tend to turn and get jammed so you have to reach all the way back and re-position the can in order to load the remaining cans.The item is not perfect but it's a great concept. Not worth what I paid. Maybe worth half of that with the flaws that it has. It wasn't utmost on my mind and I missed my return window so I'm stuck with it now.

This is the second one I’ve bought. When I bought the first one, I wasn’t sure if I was going to really use it. At first it was to hold the hubby’s beer. It worked and he thought it was cool. The second one I bought because I started drinking cans instead of bottles. Really helps free up space.
