Whew, not cheap...but then again I have never seen anything like this before for home use.

Please keep us posted on this one Bill..................

PS:  How is the San Fernando Valley doing these days??

They had a coupon code for $50 off around Halloween.  That's when I pulled the trigger.  All the videos I've watched seem to think it works well so I'm hoping it will be worth the money.

The Valley is good.  Still nice and hot.

Bill

50.00 off will work.   Nice and Toasty down here in the Inland Empire as well...................

Bill how does the wire go out of the fridge? & what will the moist air leaving the unit do to the other food in the fridge?

The wire goes out the hinge side of the door.  Apparently, the gasket form fits around it and there is no leak.  As for the moist air, I believe that leaving the unit dissipates when the refrigerator door is opened.  Also, there's a salt sack that is supposed to wick some of the moisture.

It would be fun to have but for me the price will keep me away for now.
That is exactly where I am at IE to pricey for me.
What happen to entering the market at a low price to entice buyers and raise the price later.

from what I understand they entered the market with a price of $150 (via kickstarter).  After they sold the first batch they made some improvements (bluetooth/wifi and stainless steel) at that point, the price went up to $250.  However, they had a coupon code for $50 off for Halloween. I suspect they'll do the same around Thanksgiving and almost definitely for Christmas.  I balked at $250 and wasn't going to get it, then I saw the cheaper price and decided to give it a try.

Now that all the Thanksgiving food is out of the fridge I'm going to set up the Steakager and give it a try.  For those interested in getting one in the near future they have a $50 off code for their website.  Use the code getitquick.

RAD it would except I believe the fridges use a smaller based bulb and the light shuts off when the fridge door closes so unless you modify the switch....

Thanks Bill for the heads up. I am tempted to get one. I would get a small fridge(dorm room style) for it and add an internal power source(plug) in the fridge to provide power.

You don't need to add internal power.  The power cord slips through the door's gasket.  It seems like a well designed piece of equipment.

True but I do like a clean look(no cords dangling)

There was one for Halloween and one for Thanksgiving/Black Friday.  I suspect there will be more between now and Christmas.  Keep an eye out.

Looks like they have a new code today for $35 instead of $50.  That seems kind of silly, to me.  The new code is SBSCRUSH.
