anyone using these in an appliance(fridge) or a really cold placement?

Yes, I use in the garage. I like LED instead of CFL for cold places. LED's don't have a warm-up time.

Personally, I wouldn't use them in the freezer. They are steel-mesh, therefore, metal, so there's a couple places I wouldn't recommend using them: someplace extremely hot or someplace extremely cold. I have used covered wire shelving in my freezer quite successfully. I put cardboard over them when using ziplock bags so they freeze flat and not with slots where they have fallen through the wire shelf. Hope that helps.

This is what was told to me when I purchased these and since then I have never had a problem. Make sure you leave the inserts in a deep freezer, your refrigerator freezer is often not cold enough. Also make sure your drinks are cold beforehand. We have slushes in 15 minutes.

Mine are used under cabinets. they are slightly warm to the touch . I think you may have problems with them getting wet from frost melting on them

I have frozen in them with no problem. However, I wouldn't ever put them in the microwave to thaw them out. This is the allowances I use on anything, regardless of instructions. It's a common sense thing for me!

Yes. I have mine on my fridge. I put them on the side, though, so we don't knock them off when we walk in the kitchen.

O I'm not sure. As I don't heat anything in them I've never thought about it. I do know they are great to store stuff in the frig.

I keep mine in the fridge too. I guess you could try freezing a few and see how they turn out. They keep well in the fridge though.

I did not have this experience. I would not use them. Could be faulty heating coils. I wouldn't risk using them.

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

Yes. I really do like them. I keep them in the refrigerator for an extra boost. Hope that helps.

No they can't. They are great! Love them but some draw backs but for sure have to be propped up to stand in fridge :)

LED's love the cold, however the low voltage power supply should be wrapped to prevent condensation. I have these in my cold display cases.

I haven't personally tried it (my cabinets are COLD and I take out dishes/plates, whatever beforehand to get to room temp.) - I wouldn't think it would be a problem - I did hear about issues w/the new Pyrex exploding when put on cold surfaces, etc. - I bought these as replacements when the set I had got broken when my shelf that they were on fell :( - they are a little purple/lilac tint, not completely clear. Wish I could help more (personally, I have some old timey mixing bowls from back in the day that were used to such temp. differences)

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

I have 2 and stick one in the fridge when not in use. Doing it that way keeps them going for about an hour

Yes, to both questions. They stay so cold oftentimes whatever is inside gets pretty icy. When I put room temperature liquid in it takes a few minutes to get it chilled but it eventually gets cold.
