She's all good..

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017

Working great so far! Seems to be holding the set temperature well. It's quiet and looks good. The button lockout seems like a good idea but can be a bit of a pain if all you want to do is turn on the light. Not a big deal though. The door handle screws were a bit too long so I put some washers on the backside of them in order to get the handle mounted nice and sturdy. I also had to adjust the top door mount a little to recenter the door and get a tight seal at the top corner. Maybe it got jostled a little during shipping. But, she's all good now and I hope to be enjoying more wines now that they won't be spoiling.

The temperature not working

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018

I was so excited to receive my wine cooler which I spent a lot of time researching to make sure I get a good product. It is working great to my satisfaction. It is elegant looking and keeps the temperature constant at 54 degrees Fahrenheit. I will be thinking of getting the as gift for my daughters although I will go with the 18 bottle version which I can house 4 upright bottles and will be useful to store the open bottles.

I have to change the rating since in just 2 years, the temperature is not staying at 54. It started rising steadily and is at 60 now. Not sure how to reset the temperature.

Works well, GREAT service should you need it

This wine cooler has been very good, I adjusted the temperature to my desired temperature and it has keeping at that very steadily. Is exceptionally quiet, much better than the unit it replaced. Should you ever need service, it turns out to be very good. The LED lights in mine started flickering after a year and a half. The email exchanges with the company were very efficient and the parts were sent promptly and securely. Overall, I am very happy with this wine cooler and the company

Great for the price, does its job

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019

I should start off by saying I am NOT using this as a wine cooler- picture makes that much obvious
I purchased this for the price and that it was said no manual defrosting is needed
I’m over seas and we haven’t had access to any fluids that aren’t hot as balls, so we began looking into the idea of a mini fridge we could run off a generator and this is the one we decided on
I only have two small gripes about it
So we set the fridge up at 0500 this morning and I promptly set it to 55F it’s now 0930 and it’s barely reached 60F and immediately rises to 65F when I open the door for more than a moment or two. But it’s still keeping everything inside cold, Sony’s not a huge deal
My 2nd minor gripe was when it showed up the handle and screws that came with it were super rusty. I scraped some of the rust from the handle, it’s again not a big deal it was just slightly worrisome how they store these things seeing that- but it’s proved to not be an issue as far as the cooler itself goes

It was a great price, and it’s doing its job very well and my team is beyond happy to have cold water
We’ll see how it does in the next few months if it holds up out here, and we’ll see if it can stay cool when it gets hotter soon

UPDATE:
it's been about 3 days and the cooler finally just reached the temperature I set it to (54F which is the lowest option) it struggled for a while being unable to get lower than 60-64F, it did take a surprisingly long amount of time for a cooler its size, but now that its reached the set temperature it's rocking it, it's firmly staying at 54F even when opening it up for about a minute to rearrange its contents. I should mention it's 117F where I'm located, so this little thing maintaining the 54F I set it at even when opened for a while it nothing short of impressive.
It's doing great, we'll see if it holds up over the next few months!

Compact and stylish

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018

I thought I was purchasing a dual zone wine cooler but this will work just fine. I also thought that I could fit this in a small space I had set aside for it but after reading the instructions I found it calls for 6" in the back and 10" on either side so I don't know how a person could put it on a counter. Luckily I found another spot for it. So far it is working great. I have the temp set on the high end for white wine and the low end for red wines. I got tired of drinking reds at room temperature and putting whites in my refrigerator which is set at 37 degrees farenheit so this is a great solution.

I was a little nervous buying a wine fridge because of the mixed reviews on the many options. I have had the fridge about 3 weeks and everything has been great. It got to my target temp (57 F) overnight and has seemed to hold that just fine. Without AC, it has gotten up to around 80 in our apartment and the temp was still 57.

It is very, very quiet. Maybe not silent...but you only hear it when there is no other noise in the room and you are 5 of fewer feet away, and even then, it just ever so slight.

Problematic Control Panel

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

The product looks nice and runs quiet. The controls are poorly designed. To do anything with the controls on the front panel, you have to use two fingers to unlock the panels pressing the up and down arrow buttons at the same time. So, it is a pain to even have to turn on the interior light.

My control panel quit working after the one year warranty. I rarely used the control panel because it was too much work. I contacted the manufacturer and after numerous emails back and forth with multiple days between responses, they said the manager said they were not going to help me. They offered me no help or solutions. Now, I have a wine refrigerator stuck at 53 degrees and none of the controls work. They did not even offer to sell me replacement parts to fix the control panel.

This product looks nice, but I would stick with a different brand. After doing research, I am not the only person who had problems with this product.

Very Nice Wine Cooler

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was very happy with the quality of build on this wine cooler. I have owned other ones before. It was well packed when delivered and showed up with no damage whatsoever. I loaded it with 15 bottles of room-temperature wine and within about two hours I was down to 55 degrees. Only negative and a small one, is that it would be nice if the plug were a right angle down plug and therefore it could go closer to the wall in the back. However, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a smaller wine cooler that is capable of holding 18 bottles.

Great Customer Service

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I originally was not happy with this product because the electronic control panel on the front did not work properly. But then the company's Customer Service Dept. contacted me with a fix for the panel, which ended up being fairly simple. I have to say the Customer Service was very friendly, responsive and supportive--some of the best support I have gotten from a company. My cooler now works great and I am happy with it. The Customer Service rep said that they had this problem with a batch of their coolers, and they tried to recall that batch but some were sent out via Amazon, which must have been what happened with mine. At any rate, they worked very hard to make me happy with their product and I appreciate that level of service.

This is just what I was looking for!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm not a wine expert and don't usually purchase expensive wines, but I wanted the ability to have a few on hand for guests. I love the small footprint of this cooler, it runs very quietly, it was easy to get set up and the controls are easy to understand. It won't hold larger bottles unless you take out a rack, but that's not a problem for me. The delivery service left it sitting upside down on my front porch, though, so I had to leave it sitting upright for a couple of hours before turning it on. I would definitely purchase this item again.
