Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SkyBox by Maytag Personal Beverage Vendor, Pitch Black
Customer Review: NO NEED TO WORRY...
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought my Skybox on Wednesday and had it in place in less than an hour. Home Depot had 11 in stock. [The base only has maybe 20 screws so I don't quite understand where the complaints with the base come from]. I waited until late Thursday afternoon before calling Maytag, but did because like most reviews here my unit would not cool below 40-41 degrees. [I was mad because I had read the reviews and knew this was a problem] I was surprised to hear that a repairman would be at my house Saturday afternoon. He came, with a new memo regarding the Skybox in hand, and performed the cooling fan flip in less than 10 minutes. Beverages are now cooled to a chilly 34-35 degrees [they advertise a range of 35-40 degrees]. I looked at the memo while he was working on the unit and it looks like the problem has been corrected in the newer units. The memo listed the serial number ranges that had the reversed fan problems. The memo says Black cabinet serial numbers less than 10292261CX and Silver cabinet serial numbers less than 10319445CX would have the fans reversed. Today I received my University of Michigan panels and they look great [GO BLUE!] and delivery time was less than two weeks. The Skybox is awesome... a bit pricey, but I love it!Customer Review: NOT COLD ENOUGH
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought one of these at Home Depot. It doesn't cool enough. I had a repairman out and he said it was ok. He left a note saying it was ok, since it was cooling between 36-38 degrees. It says it will cool to 34 degrees. It doesn't do what it says it should do. I am having them back out and if they can't fix it, THEN TAKE IT BACK.
I don't know about you, but beer has to be colder than 38 degrees.
Customer Review: No problems - Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this last week when Amazon was offering it for $350. It arrived very soon after ordering it and the base was actually easy to assemble (At least my husband didn't yell and scream putting it together and that's unusual! LOL)
It set up easily and our beverages are very cold. We love it and recommend it.
The black looked better than the gray one and we ordered custom panels that look awesome.
We really like ours!!! Great for the basement/gameroom!!

I saw the ad in Popular Mechanics & understood NASCAR would also be an option. I didn't see that as an option yet....did I miss it?Customer Review: Pleasantly Surprised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I hesitated buying this due to the negative reviews. I found this on Amazon for $325 (shipping included) and thought, "What a deal!" I ordered it, and had it the same week! Set up was a breeze, the box base went together smoothly, and I had it all done, set, and loaded within an hour! Cold (yes, plenty cold) drinks followed within 2 hours! Either Maytag got their stuff together and fixed the concerns, or I got lucky - either way, I highly recommend this for the ultimate home bar or garage!
