24-Bottle Compressor Wine Cooler with Upright Bottle Storage - Freestanding Wine Refrigerator with Digital Touchscreen and LED Temperature Display

**At 6 month mark, still working like new, very pleased with the purchase. Original Post Purchase Review: Sought a wine cooler for placement in a walk-in pantry under a 33" height built in shelf. Although primary goal was cold, would have considered a dual zone unit, but found selections meeting our height restriction were very limited. Additionally, would have purchased a wifi compatible unit, but, again, limited choices. Receipt: - Received/installed a week ago, following WE's instructions for sequenced placement, powering, adjustment and loading. - Packing/packaging was excellent, slight damage to exterior boxing, but unit arrived undamaged. Operation: - Consistently maintains 41 degrees F (lowest available setting; would have preferred slightly lower range). - Periodically soft but audible compressor noise: "traditional" fridge noise plus an occasional "tinkling" noise, neither of which are obnoxiously loud, but unit isn't silent 24/7. Placement in our pantry addresses some of the noise and if we close its sliding/pocket door, we hear nothing. - Although standard on all modern refrigerators, the switchable interior light is useful and more than a "nice to have." - Good, simple and easy to use top edge control panel. Appearance: - Sleek, modern, attractive appliance. Assessment: Good quality wine fridge, more towards a base level, but very satisfied thus far.

So far so good. This unit is quiet and cooling well. Metal shelves are a good option. Let me revisit this review in 6 months based on my history with wine coolers…..

Our last wine cooler broke after several years, so we bought another from Wine Enthusiast. It came packaged quite well, it looked like the package had been dropped but the unit itself was not damaged. We followed the instructions quite closely, but while cooling down after we loaded it, it got very hot on one side. That subsided once it cooled to temperature. It runs very quietly, we seldom notice it. I love that that you can store opened bottles standing up, that’s very convenient (no leaking bottles). Fatter bottles, such as Chardonnay, barely fit on the rack. I use the bottom area or stand them up, so it’s a bit limited. And I can’t even figure out how you could store 24 bottles. But it’s adequate. It looks nice, is compact, and, for casual collectors like us, works quite well.

It’s very spacious and accommodating for each size of bottle configuration. It’s quiet. We love the feature you keep store stand up bottles.

I purchased this refrigerator for my husband's birthday. I choose Wine Enthusiast as they have a reputable name. I could not have been more wrong. This refrigerator started to make a very loud humming/buzzing sound. I contacted Amazon who said I was one day past being able to return it and told me to call the seller. The seller connncterd me to the "technical dept." I had a recording of the loud humming and played it for him. He said this was a "normal sound made by the compressor". It is ridiculously loud and I have concerns it may be a fire hazard. I went back to Amazon who said they would look into it only to send me an email that I do not "qualify" for A-Z Guarantee. $379 for a piece of junk. Wine Enthusiast AND Amazon gave me terrible customer service . DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.

Have had this for about 6 months now. Works great for my wine wine. I like that it has some stand up storage for open bottles and storage at the bottom for larger bottles that don’t fit in the standard racks. It’s fairly quiet but I have it in a room where it would not bother me anyway. Temp has been consistent. It looks nice, lights are attractive. Would recommend!

Perfect as described.

It makes an extremely loud pop noise when switching on and off (every 5-15 minutes). It can only fit Bordeaux/thinner 750ml bottles easily. Wider 750ml bottles like those often used for white wine will not fit in every space. The metal racks will scratch and tear labels. I also had to put some tape over the temperature LED because it was so bright at night the whole room was illuminated blue. On a positive note it does keep the wine cool and is compact.
