FIFO Mini Can Tracker- Food Storage Canned Foods Organizer/Rotater/Dispenser: Kitchen, Cupboard, Pantry- Rotate Up To 30 Cans Review

I must disagree with the previous reviewer. I have several of these in my pantry and they do the job quite well. They will take large diameter cans (such as 26 oz. tomato cans), regular size cans (i.e. vegetables) and family size cans (like the tall, 26 oz. Family size soup cans). Their biggest limitation is that they can accept ONLY those 3 can sizes because the can slots can only be created in 3 set widths. For that reason, I use not only this type of can storage, but also the "Cansolidator" also available on Amazon. The cansolidator cannot be used with the large 26 oz. tomato cans, but works beautifully for other cans, including tuna, small mushrooms, small evapo milk, as well as regular vegetable cans, etc. because the cans slot width is almost infinitely adjustable.
I love to cook so I try to maintain a fairly extensive pantry. The FIFO and Cansolidator products in combination have solved the problem of the cans that expired 5 years ago only being discovered when they've become a leaky science experiment somewhere in the back of the cupboard. With these organizers it's easy to see how much of each product you have as well as being assured that when you select a can, you're getting the oldest can.
One piece of advice about the FIFO storage: Decide which cans you want to use and pre-assemble the whole thing, then put it on your shelf. Adding additional pieces to it once it's already in place can certainly be done, but it's much more awkward than pre-assembling.

Just got two of these and set them up in my cellar.
Set up is quite easy, you just have to snap (force) the spacer pegs into the holes, then twist to secure. I had to use a wrench, as suggested in the instructions, to turn the pegs.
In the sample picture, you can see green cans on the left and right sections, and yellow in the center. The center yellow cans are separated by three shorter pegs. You can choose to put those in, or just use three of the longer pegs instead, which would give you three sections of larger (15 oz) cans. It comes with extra pegs so you can pick.
The cool thing is if your shelf is long enough, you can attach two units together - so you just keep going after you build the first three sections (as shown in the picture) and add the next three on, with a section in between, instead of 3+3=6, you get 3+3+1 (in the middle) = 7. Each unit comes with six extra pegs, three short ones for the smaller section if you want it, and three extra to attach another whole unit to the side of the first.
Each section holds 16 or more cans, I don't know, I don't have that many cans of one type. I ended up putting a [...] case (12 cans) in the top, which means they roll out the bottom, and then putting three or four other cans in the middle. The middle ones don't join the roll toward the bottom until there's about five of the bottom cans left.
The shelves are made of a strong sturdy plastic, and a smart design.
They don't hold the big soup cans (18-19 oz) just the regular 15 oz cans.

Can Dispenser for Refrigerator- 10 Can Capacity Review

Can Dispenser for Refrigerator- 10 Can Capacity

It's flimsy and when properly assembled soda cans DO NOT FIT IT so the point is completely lost on me. It is too narrow to permit soda cans to slide through it, in fact it falls apart if you look at it wrong so the weight of ten soda cans doesn't work at all. I would give it zero stars if I could.

I keep having to flex these open to accommodate 12 ounce cans. My husband will not even use it so they just get set on the counter and sit. A little pricey to have to constantly adjust to use.

Haier HSA04WNCWW Compact 3-8/9-Cu-Ft Refrigerator/Freezer, White Review

We're using this in our office to keep our lunches and snacks cold and frozen foods.
Overall, this is a nice little frig. The interior design is general enough that you don't have to be creative about where to store salad dressing bottles, etc. Some models came with soda can slots in the door, but if you don't stock soda...this is better.
The freezer, however, seems to be a waste of space. It's roomy enough, but in order to keep food frozen you also freeze the contents of the frig. Forget ice cream. It turns into a mushy mess.
Next time, I'd either buy a higher quality/more expensive one or order without the freezer if food is going to be the major content.

With its 3-8/9-cubic-foot capacity, this stylish compact refrigerator/freezer can be used in any home, dorm room, or office, working great as a backup fridge for snacks and beverages or for extra food during the holidays. It comes equipped with three full-width slide-out wire shelves, three full-width door-storage shelves, 2-liter bottle storage, and a full-width freezer compartment with an ice-cube tray. The unit's adjustable thermostat can be controlled by the rotary temperature-control dial, while its manual-defrost function helps save on energy costs. Thoughtfully designed, the appliance features a recessed door handle, making the unit flat and space saving in the front, and a coil back that works as a condensor to release heat trapped inside the refrigerator. It also provides a quick-cleaning drip tray and two front leveling legs that can be made longer or shorter to balance the unit if it sits on uneven ground. The refrigerator/freezer measures 19-1/8 by 18-3/4 by 33-7/8 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with a five-year warranty on the compressor.
