You can do better
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?
