Overview
The Sharp SJB1255GS is a 24-inch counter-depth bottom-freezer refrigerator with 11.5 cubic feet total capacity, a 4.2 cubic foot freezer, and a garage-ready rating for buyers with a narrow footprint or an unheated secondary fridge.
Its main selling point is the slim 24-inch counter-depth body, which is what several reviewers bought it for rather than raw capacity. Delivery condition is the real variable here: multiple buyers describe doors misaligned or damage from shipping, with replacement units arriving fine, so inspect on arrival rather than assuming a bad unit is representative. One reviewer's cooling failure took two weeks and two service visits to resolve, worth weighing against the otherwise strong average rating.
- 11.5 cu ft total, 4.2 cu ft freezer
- Vacation mode keeps freezer on, fridge off
- Removable wine rack included
- Fresh converter drawer, chiller or crisper
Who it's for
Suits kitchens or garages with limited width where a standard 30-plus inch fridge won't fit, and buyers comfortable inspecting delivery and using reversible doors. Not ideal for anyone who can't tolerate the risk of a shipping-damaged unit or slow warranty service if something goes wrong.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers who received an intact unit call it quiet and space-efficient, with reversible doors suited to tight garage or kitchen layouts. Two separate buyers reported delivery problems, doors installed crooked in one case and no cooling at all in another that took two service visits to resolve, so unit-to-unit consistency out of the box appears to be the main risk.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Slim 24-inch width fits narrow spaces
- Garage-rated for unheated secondary use
- Reversible doors for tight layouts
- Runs quiet according to most reviewers
- Delivery damage and door misalignment reported
- One documented cooling failure needing repair
Performance notes
Multi air flow distributes cold air through separate vents in the fridge and freezer sections rather than one shared duct, which is what keeps temperatures even between the two. Vacation mode powers down the refrigerator cavity while leaving the freezer running, useful for anyone away from a garage unit for stretches. The fresh converter drawer switches between a chiller and crisper setting depending on what's stored, rather than running as a fixed produce bin.
