I won this fridge in an Instagram giveaway with a winery in the Pacific Northwest. It came to me very quickly via Amazon, and was not damaged in anyway. When you first plug it in, the wine fridge is a little noisey and warm while it gets to the desired temperatures. But once they have reached, it is so quiet and no longer warm on the outside at all. Now, I sometimes go over to it to make sure it is on!! This is my greatest win!
It is nice looking and quiet. It is rather compact and will fit in many spaces.
One issue I have is that it is tight getting the pinot bottles in an out of the wood shelves.
I might buy another one from them, but I will get the stainless shelves.
We bought it as a wedding gift for friends and they loved it! When is silence around you can definitely hear it but overall it is not noisy. Extra pro, it applies to the California appliance efficiency regulations. I would certainly recommend this wine cooler.
Great cooler. Exactly as advertised. Looks great , the way it cools is exactly correct, and we appreciated the prompt delivery after purchase. Needs wall clearance to dissapate and cool, a few inches all around it when setting it up.
Good at what it does, but not a full fledged wine cellar....

It is an attractive, good quality unit that, at least to this point, serves its purpose very well. I could mention one small issue in that, to this day, I do not know how to determine which temperature controls the upper versus the lower portion of the unit, but I have come to believe that is almost irrelevant since maintaining two separate temperatures in a relatively small box with no divider is an undo-able exercise in micro-management. For me, and I do drink a fair amount of wine, I decided to set the control where I want my white wine and just take out my red wines a few hours before needed.
This was everything advertised. No issues. This is a stand alone unit. Not for under mounting. Shipped to me in perfect condition. With respect to hot sides as noted in other reviews, the unit gets hot when it is cooling. This was most pronounced when I first plugged in the unit. All sides were hot until the unit was fully cooled. Then they were fine. I will notice that it occasionally heats up again temporarily but it is not as hot as the first time and only lasts a while. I assume it is running through a cooling cycle. We are very satisfied. It does make some noise but it is not loud.
Only been using for a few weeks. Looks great and seems to keep the right temperatures. Can be a little loud, hoping it won’t get worse over time. For the price I feel it was a good deal!
