Works great, looks great!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019

I am not sure what some of the reviews below are referencing but I will provide the insight I have seen.

1) Door handle is not hard to put on but instructions says to remove the door gasket, this is not necessary. You can bend the gasket to the side and get the screws in. Took 2 min.

2) The product does make a little humming sound when the compressor is running but it is not loud. I let the product sit for 4 hours upright before plugging in as the directions state.

The machine has a nice style and is smaller than I thought. So far the machine is holding temp and I feel works great for what I was looking for. Great product, only time will tell on reliability.

If you can get it working it’s fine

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019

First one had a defective control panel and had to send it back. The replacement also had problems with board but after pulling the plug and restarting it seemed to work okay.Also the screws for the door handle on both original and replacement were too short. As noted however, once we got the replacement working it was fine and so far has kept a steady temperature and is very quiet.

I purchased four of these in 2019. The remodel took longer than anticipated, so they sat in the boxes for several months before finally installing them. They've been running continuously for several years now. The units are quiet and temps stay very consistent. Please note: When installing these, they NEED VENTILATION! If you build them in with limited or no ventilation, they will not work well.

So far so good!

Just got our wine fridge and so far it's working as expected! After reading through the reviews and questions, I think some people gave up too quickly. There are some quirks...

It came packaged nicely and not damaged at all. I let it sit upright overnight (as suggested in the directions to sit at least 3 hours upright before plugging in). I was able to adjust the settings by being a little diligent when it didn't work immediately. The celcius/farenheight worked easily. The light on off works great. The unlock beep works great. When unlocking though it did take a few times with a longer press to get it to allow me to adjust the temp. As others mentioned it went right to 41°. But when I adjusted it to 55° it moved somewhat quickly and has remained there since. I was able to fit 23 bottles in of different sizes. Now I am just waiting for the bottles to chill to see if it is an actual 55° or not.

One problem we do have is that the screws for the handle are too short and we have not installed it yet. We are going to purchase longer screws and then will try again. I'll update my review after about the handle and the accurate temp!

Update: Got the longer screws and with a little difficulty, we were able to secure the handle. The temp has held steady and the bottles seem chilled appropriately. The unit is extremely quiet, looks great and works great so far!

I thought this was a real bargain at just over $200. The unit arrived damaged(frame bent). The company addressed this matter in a timely manner and refunded my money. I was responsible for disposal. I let the unit run for approximately 2 weeks and the temperature began to rise from 50* set to 65*. AT that point I unplugged and will take to recycling. Cost to me $25. My last cooler(Avanti) lasted 16 yrs. Will now look for a replacement.

works well and very nice to look at

Just received this little wine cooler a few days ago. Not much noise, but a little humming sound, acceptable. I am not filling this little cooler to capacity, since I don’t want all bottles blocking the cold air from moving around. The shelves are all removable making it quite easy to accommodate to large/odd shaped bottles.
It looks great with a stainless-steel door with other similar price items. So far, it’s doing a great job. I would recommend this fridge to family and friends.

Compact unit, decent temp control, inexpensive. But, received with broken evaporator tray.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019

The unit arrived with the box undamaged. Unpacking was easy. I had no problem installing the door handle, couple of minutes at most. My issue was found when I located the power cord. It was stabbed up inside the back side where the compressor is. Also pushed inside there was the plastic tray used to catch water to be evaporated. It was heavily damaged. So much so that it can't be used.
I placed as many freezer packs as I could find inside the unit and plugged it in. Instructions to set the temp were easy. I set it to 47 degrees. The ice packes helped to bring the temp down. I then loaded if with a few bottles of cold whites. The temp didn't change and has held now for a few days. The unit is light weight. I wanted one that operated with a compressor and didnt want to spend a lot because see of an upcoming remodel where I Wil be needing a built in unit. So far so good, except for the broken tray.

Temp control would not adjust

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

Liked the look/design. Was not too loud. Was exactly what I was looking for but the temperature control was stuck on the coldest setting and would not adjust. I contacted the seller through Amazon and they issued me a refund in a a couple of days. Disappointed it didn't work properly, but happy with the customer service.

Difficult door handle installation

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

While the wine cooler is, overall, what I was expecting. I still can't attach the door handle. It's extremely difficult to push the screws through the openings and hold them in place while turning them. I'll keep trying but I may have to live without it. The door gasket is the biggest problem; too hard to hold out of the way, I need three hands.
There needs to be an instruction paper with it. Also, the temperature display is Celsius and no conversion ability.

The first one delivered was damaged but the return process and the reorder was without incident no complaints there. The new one arrived with a small issue the bottom stainless steel trim piece on the door was a little misaligned but can live with that maybe others can’t but overall I am very pleased so far with the unit. Also, I would recommend it to friends.
