Works fine

Anonymous from Undisclosed

We have had ours for 3 months, no issues. Generally keeps wine with 2-3 degress of setting. The temp seems very accurate in the middle shelves, top shelves are 3-4 degrees warmer, bottom 3-4 cooler. Works well to keep the whites on the bottom shelves at about 40-45 degrees and the reds above a 50-55. Runs quiter than most refriderators. Getting bottles in and out is fairly easy, and large ones aren't a problem. Overall, for the price, I think it is a good deal, better built that others in the price range and holds more wine, To avoid problems with start-up, the people at Homedepot told us if we brought it home on its side, to let it sit upright for 48 hours before we plugged it in and then another 24 hours to let the tempature adjust.

We spent a long time looking for a wine cooler. It was the last appliance we bought for our kitchen remodel. I was concerned after reading some of the reviews about noise and temp control and since it was a remodel the unit sat in the box for 2 months. However, we have had it in place now for about 6 weeks and we love it. The wine/bar area is our favorite part of the kitchen remodel! I usually don't hear the unit running at all but occassionally when it starts up and the house is very quiet and I'm sitting in the kitchen, I do. Temp is great ... we keep the reds on the top, white on the bottom and it chills them perfectly. The only complaint is that it definately doesn't hold 50 bottles but the specs or something I read did specify that it didn't hold 50 standard size wine bottles but ones of different sizes. It looks great and we receive many compliments on how it looks etc. Definately recommend. Read more

We purchased this cooler for our second kitchen in the lower level of our home. It is the perfect size and fits nicely under the counter for a built in look. It will fit in the same space as the average dishwasher. And since the door is reversible, it's easy to customize to your needs. On the negative side, it's a bit loud when the compressor is running. And the light doesn't come on when you open the door. You must either leave it on or off. Since we got it on sale and had a rebate, adequate for the price. Read more

Great wine fridge and silent operation!

I read reviews saying this wine fridge was noisy, which had me concerned about buying one as the kitchen is open to the living room in my condo. I took the chance - the guy in Home Depot told me he'd sold hundreds and had never heard of anyone having a problem with one - and bought one and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's just about silent, I can't hear it at all. Then it keeps my wine at a constant 57 degF and looks good in my new kitchen. Couldn't ask for more, I would recommend to others. Read more

Is your refrigerator running?

Is your refrigerator running?

I have been unimpressed with this unit. The temp does not hit the lower threshold, ever. It does keep drinks cool so I can't be sure if the digital read out is just incorrect The compressor is loud and constantly running. Save on electricity and buy a more expensive model. Read more
