Ngl, my new flower cooler nearly cost me a $500 wedding order

Honestly, I bought a refurbished floral cooler online for a great price about three months ago. The thing ran fine for a week, then the temp started swinging wildly from 38 to 55 degrees overnight. I lost a whole batch of delicate lisianthus and ranunculus that were prepped for a big wedding. Had to do a panic buy from a wholesaler at triple the cost to fill the order. Has anyone else had a nightmare with a used cooler, or is there a brand you totally trust?

What was the brand of that refurbished cooler? I've heard some older models are just impossible to keep steady, and knowing which one failed might help others steer clear.

Kim.dylan you're making this sound like a life or death decision with a cooler. It's a fridge box that occasionally wobbles. Unless you're trying to keep a science experiment at a precise temperature, a little tilt from a used unit won't ruin your weekend. People act like a refurbished cooler has to be NASA approved. Check the feet, jam a shim under it, move on with your life. This whole "impossible to keep steady" thing is blown way out of proportion.

Ever notice how refurbished stuff feels like a gamble no matter the brand?
