Avanti Refrigerators Reviews

I have been in contact with Legacy since the 20th of November regarding my cu Avanti Refrigerator. I sent them all receipts, serial number etc... After days of waiting, (they informed me they would have a "servicer" get back to me. When I didn't hear anything, I contacted the email they provided. IT WAS A STREAMING COMPANY. I then contacted the number they gave me which the person that answered was in another state and couldn't help me. After 2 more calls to Legacy, they gave me the same information from the first call and assured me this was the correct information and to be patient. Meanwhile, this Avani unit is only 5 months old and my house is smelling like mildew. If my problem is ever resolved which I highly doubt It will, I will adjust this review.

This is not a quality product. I bought an Avanti apartment size refrigerator in February 2021 from ABC Warehouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It just stopped working November 2024. I bought what I thought was a 3 year extended warranty from ABC Warehouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan only to discover that the 3 years started from the date of purchase. So actually I was only buying a 2 year warranty as the manufacturer has a one year warranty. Stay away from this product. Unfortunately small refrigerators all seem to be of poor quality. Frigidaire has similar issues. Probably made cheaply in China too.

I had an small cu Avanti chest FREEZER (just under the 5 and 7 cu ft.). That chest freezer ran 20 years! I NEVER had a service call. It was still running when I sold it, moving from a house to an apt! It kept me from starving for years during job layoffs, college, etc. I would have the mobile meat truck come by whenever he had a customer who was not home or would not return his call. He bought the steaks wholesale and sold the flat boxes of it to his customers. So he sold those boxes to me at a discount, and even brought it inside and filled my freezer with hamburgers, filet mignons and sirloin steaks from Kansas City Steak Co. This was in 2003. I could eat for months with this small Avanti freezer.

Purchased an Avanti Beverage cooler (BCA3115S3S). Never worked well from the start. Now less than 2 years from purchase it doesn't cool at all. Told it will cost more to repair than we paid for the refrigerator. Worst appliance I have ever purchased.

I purchased a wine and beverage refrigerator that never worked properly. The company offered to send a repair person out and look at the problem but at my expense I was transferred to a supervisor who blew me off and would not take any action to try and resolve the problem. I had the worst customer service experience and will never consider Avanti or any legacy group products in the future. I buy a lot of appliances for my tenants and as part of my business. This was the rudest and unprofessional experience anyone could have.

Have to check all day, The freezer accumulates ice everywhere. I asked online and nobody tells me what to do or where to go. This is a very disgusting experience in refrigerators. In my life I never seen something like that.

This is the worst product I have ever purchased, It never works! Doesn’t keep cold, food has to be thrown out constantly, I have a thermometer and this mini fridge never reaches the correct temp, Do not buy.

Bought this unit for my college daughter and noticed when I finally got to see her the unit was sweating inside. I defrosted it, wiped down and restarted it and again same thing. If I turn up the temp. it freezes inside the refrigerator. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!! PAY a little more and get a good brand that has a good record!! Trying to work with service now. Wish me luck. The unit was RA 10X0W. Not cheap at $$400 plus dollars.

The double french door model is too small. It has the illusion of size but the lower level freezer is awful. It has four draws and the draws, once pulled out are difficult to put back in...a real pain in the back! Plus the draws are small. Overall a poor attempt at being modern.

I own one of these refrigerators they're so cheap made, that the doors won't even stay tightened, and it’s not as cold on the inside as it should be. Even turned all the way up. I own the stove and dishwasher too and they're not any better, big nightmares if you ask me, don’t waste your time.

I purchased a chest freezer due to hard times going through this pandemic and money has been very tight so eating has been a blessing. I've had this product about 6 months not quite came home from work and the whole freezer full of meats were gone. Don't know what's going on with the replacement of my product. It's still under manufacturer warranty and even if or when it gets replaced I don't know how I'm even going to put anything in it. I am just very unsatisfied with the quality of this product. I understand it's not going to last forever but never dreamed it would only last 6 months.

I purchased via Avanti top mount refrigerator stainless steel, model FF10B3S on January 28, 2019. The unit broke on July 28, 2021. I contacted the manufacturer and they indicate there are no service repair people in Henderson and Las Vegas area. I think a refrigerator freezer that cost $700 should last longer than 2 1/2 years.

I bought the refrigerator and used it for 4 years. The motherboard went out and I have been waiting for the part for 8 months. I have called Avanti or 6 times and they keep pushing the order status out. They keep on promising it is coming. DO NOT BUY. They are useless.

The beverage cooler refrigerates fine, but the glass door fogs up between the double glass. I called Staples and they wanted to have me send the unit back, but I had already discarded the nice shipping box so I decided to contact Avanti and offer to just replace the door if they'd send me one. Avanti said it was normal to fog inside. The clear door is the reason I purchased it for twice the price of a regular mini fridge. It appears the door does not have the space between the glass under a relative vacuum. Save your money and buy a different brand if you want a see-thru door.

We purchased this refrigerator with a freezer on top for the basement to use for overflow during holidays. We have had it for four years and it turns off at its convenience. We did have someone out to fix it last year but it continues to turn on and off but mostly off. It is currently waiting for the trash man on the curb. Very disappointing and a waste of money.

Experience should be zero. I bought the CF10M0W Nov 2015 and it just went out, stop working. Called the company who have me the number to JR Martin App. I spoke with the tech who stated there will be a $99 service cost and if it was the compressor $300 in labor. Well, the freezer cost $280. The staff at Avanti rude and unprofessional.

First of all DO NOT purchase any Avanti Products appliances! We purchased an upright freezer online December of 2017. We noticed that it seemed to not be holding a freeze about June 2018 but also thought it may be because we keep our freezer in our garage and everyone knows how hot our summers are here in NC so we thought it was because it was working overtime trying to stay cold! So we let it go! Well we noticed in October which for the most part is a little cooler here in NC that things in the freezer were still completely defrosted. I mean a whole 9 pound ham that had been in the freezer for at least 3 months was completely thawed out?

Bottom line don't buy Avanti! I had a gift given to me on a brand new refrigerator after plugging in twice. The product basically runs the unit does not cool. I called and contacted the repair locations. I also called the 1-800 number on the back for service. They gave me the run-around on the phone that the manufacturer's date was older than a year and because of no receipt they can't fix the cooling part on the unit so basically I'm out of a refrigerator. But I have a same refrigerator that's 10 years old that works perfectly fine but from a different manufacturing company that's never had any problems. So again think about before you buy an Avanti product. They don't stand behind their product or won't go simply out of their way to check it to try to help out a consumer.

I have a small upright freezer because of space concerns. Its design with bins allow for easy access but it does diminish the capacity somewhat. But I find it adequate for my needs as a single member household.

Bought a wine cooler WCR682SS-2 from Wine Cooler Direct. First unit came did not operate, they shipped a second and worked fine for two years and now it freezes the bottom shelves of wine. I also bought extended warranty and they said I would have to find a serviceman to repair it. I called 5 local businesses and no one wants to touch it as it's hard to get parts. Called the company and parts on back order till April. Worst customer experience on all ends.

I purchased a Refrigerator in December of 2015, model FFBM102D3S. I recently went food shopping, loaded up the fridge and noticed a smell a few days later - the motor stopped, the interior of the fridge was at 60 degrees and I had to throw out all of my food. I called the company to get information - pretty bewildered that a fridge would die at 2 years old - the woman I spoke with kept cutting me off saying that "We Cannot offer you any warranty service because it is 2 years old." I asked if that was the custom of this company that a fridge should stop working after 2 years - same sentence and very rude. I asked to the speak with the manager - David ** - received his e-mail response that appliances are sold with a one year warranty which is the standard in the industry.

I have had this refrigerator (Avanti FF760W) for 5 years. It works perfectly, despite undergoing some rough handling. This is a “counter-depth” refrigerator with about enough room inside to satisfy the needs of one person. I believe the “760” part of the model number means it has 7.6 cubic feet of storage capacity. As an aside, I the “FF” is for frost-free, and the “W” may be for the color: white. I bought it in 2012. I moved it several blocks by dolly it to a storage facility in late 2013, and then, when I was told pointedly that the storage facility was closing immediately at 15 minutes before the posted time, I moved it 53 blocks and two avenues, again with a dolly, through Manhattan on a cold night in January 2014.

In 2015, I purchase an Avanti Refrigerator for my apartment. Within 3 months I started having problem. It was no longer keeping my food cold. I called Avanti. They gave me an repairman who fixed the problem. 4 months later the motor went. The repairman replace the motor, a month later I came home from work and heard this loud humming sound from the refrigerator. During the night the refrigerator stop working. I called the repairman again. This time it could not be fixed. I was given a new Avanti refrigerator in July of 2016. Today May 24th my refrigerator has stop working. I called the repairman who informed me that there is no more warranty on the original refrigerator and I must pay to have it service. I will tell my friends and family never to purchase an Avanti refrigerator. They are the worst!

We bought AVANTI beverage fridges for our new Hotel from Pacific Sales. When we plugged them in, they didn't work. We called Pacific Sales to exchange. They told us to call AVANTI. AVANTI was super rude about it. Finally they sent a "technician". The tech confirmed they weren't working and then we were sent to another Dept and told to cut off cord, send serial number with paperwork etc (and $10? WTF. I have to pay $10 too... what a joke). After they get everything, they will send me crappy replacement fridges. In the meantime, these fridges (the ones that were working) are so loud you have to unplug them at night or you can't sleep. STAY AWAY FROM AVANTI AND PACIFIC SALES.

Terrible gasket seal. We purchased a small, apartment sized refrigerator. When we reversed the doors the freezer gasket did not fit right resulting in an unusable freezer. It was just a big block of ice!! We called Avanti in October and requested a solution that which the representative suggested they send a new gasket and the problem would be solved. We waited 10 days, nothing arrived in the mail, we called back and were told it was on back order until mid-November. So we waited. By December no gasket had arrived. So, we called Avanti again. And, again we were advised the gasket was on back order now until the end of December.

My apartment-sized (23" wide, 59" high) Avanti fridge has just ended its life cycle. I had it for 6.5 years. In researching the new one, I spoke to the customer service of another brand with some questions. I asked about how long their apt-sized models last; she said about 3-7 years. So, if that's what is expected for models this size, then the Avanti one I had did pretty well.

It is a very reliable fridge. I like it because whenever I needed to adjust the temperature it was straightforward and easy. The shelves and drawers could have been more thoughtfully designed. Sometimes it was hard to fit in food in convenient way. It was annoying because I'm a very organized person. It was pretty cheap looking. And the bad storage made the presentation underwhelming. It's aesthetics are it's major downfall, but it worked great regardless. The size is ok. Spacing is weird, but it still held everything I needed it to. It didn't look blocky in the room. It may be slightly unattractive, but it's been running well for a long time. I love how easy it is to adjust the temp. which is something I've always hated about other fridges.

It keeps temperature great. When I had a black out food was cold for 12 hours. Great product. Lots of space for your produce, juices and milks. If you have children it's nice because you have a variety of cold drinks and snack for them. Very streamlined. I have the bottom freezer with two doors on top. Makes for easy storing and access to the things you need. Came in a variety of colors to choose from to match your decor. I find the size very appropriate to my needs. I can store 3 gallons of liquid on the doors as well as a variety of other goods. The value I was not expecting. I thought the price was very reasonable for the appliance that I got. It's very durable, keeps temperatures nice and cold so your items and produce stay crisp.

It does a good job of keeping my frozen foods nice and cold. It has plenty of room inside for all of my grocery needs. It seems to be fairly energy efficient and I have had no issues with it so far. The inside is well designed and it is well lit. It looks pretty good. The color options that were available made it easy enough to find one that fit in well with the way that my kitchen is designed. I like how it is sleek and clean looking. The inside has a lot of room and is well organized making it easy to find a place for everything and I never worry about cross contamination. I would say that for the price I paid it is a very good value. I have never had any issues with it. It runs very well, keeps my food cold and seems to be fairly energy efficient.

I bought and changed the filter often for the water part of it, and other than that it ran great, not loud, no issues. It was all black, had a pull out freezer at the bottom, doors opened and closed with no squeaks! When you opened it had three doors to open for produce, meat, etc. Basic normal fridge! Great quality honestly. The value of this fridge was amazing. It was honestly the perfect fridge for me and my family. Ran perfectly with no issues. Should continue on strong for the next few years it seems like.

I have a household of 4 and this fridge is perfect with a lot of room to store food and able to control the temperature on it. I love how it has easy access and a bright light when our fridge is open. Beautiful fridge and definitely modern to make your kitchen unique. The handles on opening the fridge are big and easy to pull out. Shelves inside the fridge are nice, glass looking. Sort of big but that's what I love about it. You can see everything of what's in the fridge because how much space it has. The value looks expensive but bought it for a good price. I bought my fridge at Sears because it just stood out from all the rest. Reading the value of it has caught my eye just because it was perfect in what I needed.

I’ve tried other brands of refrigerators before and this one has been by far the best I’ve ever tried. It has been by far the best refrigerator I have ever owned in my life. Well, it does come in a variety of options like stainless steel, black, white and various other colors. I myself have a stainless steel one. I love the size. It’s a medium size refrigerator. I think it is a very valuable refrigerator... Extremely reliable... It’s good value for the price you pay.

I am very happy with the performance of this refrigerator. This is my first experience of this brand and I am quite satisfied. It keeps food very cold and looks good too. If you purchase this brand you will not be disappointed with your purchase. I love the appearance of my new refrigerator. It's one of the reasons I chose this type. I am pleased and happy. I get many compliments on my new refrigerator. That makes me feel good. I am pleased and happy with the size of my refrigerator. It fits perfectly. For me I couldn't have made a better choice. It all depends on the size you need. For my kitchen it is the perfect choice. I would highly recommend choosing this type of refrigerator. It is of high value. The color, size, performance, pride and price makes this a high value choice.

Awesome automatic ice machine. Had very cold water and easy to adjust temperature for both the freezer and refrigerator section. Nightlight included that automatically shuts off. Was incredibly easy for my children to operate, but I could also lock all controls for when they decided to just play with it. It is solid black with light textured pattern you can feel and just a hint of shine. Inside is glass, which I didn't like and is white but was very easy to clean. Hated size of both freezer and refrigerator section. Shelving Is actually non adjustable which makes me very dissatisfied and surprised. Price of the side by side fridge was very inexpensive and very affordable which was the main reason for the purchase of the refrigerator.

Arrived really well packaged, and in pristine condition. Works Well. Good Door seal. It's worth noting that mine arrived with 4 door shelves that covered the width of the door and not the small shelves pictured. All of the shelves are removable and the third shelf down has a slightly lower repositioning option if desired. And has a somewhat quirky characteristic of forming frost on the inside rear wall of the refrigerator section. When the compressor is on, this then melts and is channeled away down a small hole when the compressor is off. Called a Cycle Defrost. The freezer section will require a manual defrost too. All in all the Avanti is good package for the money paid for it at time of purchase. I would, frankly, have been far less happy at this price point as I feel the overall build quality, while far from being poor, does not warrant a cost in excess of my original purchase cost.
