Terrible Substitute for BLZ-SSRF130

I had the BLZ-SSRF130 model fridge. Stopped cooling. Was sent this BLZ-SSRF126 buy the company as the one I had is no longer available. Great customer service in terms of trying to help. However, do not buy the BLZ-SSRF126. It is junk compared to what it is supposed to replace. No bottom drawer, inefficient door storage and worst of all, the rubber coated wire shelves don't line up properly and also bend under normal weight of a handful of bottles. Since it doesn't line up, bottles will sit on uneven space between back plastic and the shelf causing them to be unstable and fall, knocking others over and breaking in your yard (or in my case, right at the pool, then you'll step on broken glass). You can't use the full area on the shelves and they are not spaced properly to keep normal height items. I'm incredibly surprising disappointed that this is the substitute from blaze for an otherwise excellent designed product. Stay away from this unit You will be very disappointed once you start using it.

Don't buy

Does not get colder than 36 degrees. While this may be fine for some, I would like it colder. Worse, it died after less than 2 years. Junk.

Junk refrigerator

Warning-do not buy the Blaze 20" 4x4 fridge. It is complete garbage. It barely gets under 55 degrees f. Some areas cold others actually warm. I've purchased $80 small office fridges that were much better. Bad product and Blaze should be embarrassed to offer this junk to the public. BBQ guys should not be selling this either.

Expert Review

By: BBQGuys Staff

The Skinny:
  • New-and-improved, high-efficiency cooling system thrives longer in the elements
  • Can be used outdoors without voiding the warranty, unlike several competing fridges
  • 304-grade stainless steel front panel brings premium quality at an agreeable price
  • Dial thermostat lets you precisely program temperatures for customized cooling
  • White LED interior lighting clearly illuminates the fridge contents at night

Blaze has long been a leader in premium grilling and outdoor living, so it came as no surprise that the brand’s outdoor refrigeration units live up to that lofty standard. Case in point: the new Blaze 20-inch, 4.4-cubic feet compact refrigerator, a cost-effective and space-saving unit that pushes the possibilities of what a non-outdoor-rated refrigerator can do in the elements. With higher-grade materials than price-point competitors and a redesigned cooling system that brings greater efficiency, Blaze outdid itself yet again.

Need proof? We put this Blaze refrigerator through rounds of objective testing and observation to gauge every facet of its quality, performance, and features. Our findings form the basis of this Blaze 20-inch compact refrigerator review, giving you a complete and unbiased snapshot of the unit to help you in your purchasing journey. We’ll walk through each section, referencing hard data while explaining how the Blaze stacks up against similar refrigerators.

Quality:

Commercial construction, a friendly warranty, and space-saving design combine to give this compact refrigerator lasting appeal.

Benefits

  • Durable stainless steel front panel is primed to look great for years
  • Warranty covers outdoor use without the hefty price tag of an outdoor rating
  • Blaze’s record of outstanding customer service means peace of mind for consumers
  • The first thing that stands out about the Blaze 20-inch refrigerator is its stainless steel front panel, as confirmed by our XRF analysis of the metal’s composition. That’s commercial-grade material in a Standard-class refrigerator, a strong indicator that this unit will resist corrosion far longer than the competition.

  • Blaze 20-Inch 4.4 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator W/ Recessed Handle - BLZ-SSRF126

Not to be outdone, our analysis found the trio of interior shelves to be powder-coated steel — a much sturdier material than the wire shelving typically used in Standard compact refrigerators. The interior material turned up as plastic, the industry standard for outdoor refrigeration units at any price point. Blaze offers a 1-year, limited warranty, coverage that’s in line with the rest of the class except for one key detail: despite not being outdoor-rated, the unit can be used outdoors without voiding the warranty. That’s a rarity in the industry, and one that gives consumers an outdoor refrigeration solution without requiring them to spend big on the outdoor rating.

Performance:

Even without an outdoor rating, Blaze’s revamped, high-efficiency cooling system delivers reliable performance in adverse settings.

Benefits

  • Upgraded cooling system keeps contents cold without running up the bill
  • Forced-air technology provides more consistent temperatures than competing units
  • Dial thermostat makes temperature control accurate, intuitive, and easy

When Blaze designed its newest compact refrigerator, the company’s engineers sought to further improve the high-efficiency cooling systems of past models. After observing the unit’s responsiveness and accuracy, we can say it’s a smashing success. Much of this is thanks to Blaze’s insistence on using fan-forced cooling, a system that naturally performs better than the cold-plate technology found in other Standard-class compact refrigerators. Fan-forced systems treat air in a space outside the cabinet, then circulate it throughout for even cooling of the contents from back to front; the cold-plate method uses a rear element to extract heat from the cabinet instead, but this older technology takes much longer to cool the entire unit and is often inconsistent.

Blaze made further enhancements from there, manufacturing this 20-inch compact fridge to have a 3-year failure rate of just 1%. (For comparison, the average 3-year failure rate of fridges in general sits around 3%.) We weren’t able to collect data to confirm that claim — you’d have to circle back in a couple years — but everything we observed in the short term suggested long-lasting performance. Even on hot Louisiana days, the fridge’s internal temperature stayed on track with the dial thermostat setting, which has a range of 32°F–50°F. And, again, that was without an outdoor rating driving up the price tag.

Features:

Quality-of-life features like LED lighting, a field-reversible door hinge, and a secure lock improve usability around the clock.

Benefits

  • Nighttime interior LED lights are brighter and more efficient than the competition’s
  • Cabinet and door shelving provides ample storage space for drinks and more
  • Locking door can be set with a left or right hinge, further customizing the unit
  • The Blaze 20-inch compact refrigerator offers the best suite of features for a Standard-class unit, starting with the interior lighting. Bright, efficient white LEDs illuminate the entire cabinet, and we had no problem seeing all its contents past sundown. Speaking of the entire cabinet, it totals 4.4 cubic feet of space and includes 3 shelves that we used to store drinks and condiments without issue. The fridge door features additional shelving, including convenient holsters for 12-oz. cans.

  • Blaze 20-Inch 4.4 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator W/ Recessed Handle - BLZ-SSRF126

In terms of installation, the door hinge is field-reversible, meaning it can open left or right depending on your needs. (If you’d prefer a different aesthetic, check out the left-hinged Blaze 20-inch compact refrigerator with towel bar handle.) The unit is also rear-venting and requires 5” of space in the back and on the sides to allow for proper airflow, the common clearance at this price point. We were happy to see a locking mechanism on the door — ensuring children and critters can’t access its contents or accidentally leave it ajar — along with a 3-prong power cord that’s compatible with standard outlets. Add it all together, and it’s clear that the new 20-inch Blaze represents a step forward for Standard-class outdoor refrigeration.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
