Our old wine chiller died after years of service. I had already replaced the fan once (12 VDC computer fan) but finally the electronics on the speed control died, and the chiller would not chill. We immediately decided to purchase another one with a little larger capacity. The old one held six bottles and this new one holds eight. The product arrived in perfect shape and was very easy to unpack. The wine chiller lives in the basement so any noise it makes does not bother us in the least, however this chiller is very quiet and fits nicely into the space occupied by the old chiller. The chiller immediately started up and after reading the instructions I set the temperature to our preferred temperature and it started to cool. In a few hours I went down and the temperature was exactly at 46 degrees. I purchased this model because it would chill down to 46 which is the temperature we like wine at. I know that the wine experts like reds at one temperature and whites at another, but my wife and I like it all at the cooler temperature. I do like this model because the taller champagne bottles fit in it, where our older chiller was not deep enough for them to fit. All in all it was a good purchase at a fair price. I did use Amazon points from my Amazon credit card so it turned into a really great price. I just hope it lasts as long as the old one did.
We have only had this unit for a couple of weeks but so far we are very happy and thrilled that it holds 8 bottles rather than 6 like most under counter units. My recommendation would be to check measurements carefully because older homes do not always have 18” of height clearance between the counter top and upper cabinets.
One area of our home was only 15” so we chose an alternate cabinet area to place it. It looks very good with our stainless appliances and cools very well!
The touch controls stopped working on this wine cellar but it is quiet and does its job fairly well. Doesn’t fit champagne bottles.
EDIT: Customer service was tremendous and shipped me a new one at no charge. Thanks!
I did a ton of research before purchasing this item. It is perfect in size and scope for my needs
The wife loves it. Keeps the wine at the perfect temp.

I've had one of these for a year, and just purchased a second one (red and whites, after all :-) ). I've had no trouble whatsoever, the controls are simple, and they look sharp. I bought a shelf (sturdy) to stack them in the photo. (Don't forget to read the instructions to hold the "unlock" button to make the controls do anything!) I could wish for a bit colder low temp, but I'm sure that would cost more or be louder.
I absolutely LOVE this frig. I waited it seems like forever for it to be in stock and so glad I did! It has held its temperature now for over a month and counting... but I foresee no issues and for the price so-so worth it!
Great product! The sleek, horizontal design works well for the counter space I have for it. The programmable digital temperature display allows me to chose the correct temperature for the wines I’m storing. It is quiet and has a smoked glass door which limits the amount of light and heat which could alter the internal temperature. The helpful operating instructions discourage use near any source of heat or direct light (i.e in a kitchen by a refrigerator or above a dishwasher. I placed mine in the kitchen away from the appliances. I am very pleased with this purchase.
It looks sexy in the living room. Interior lighting and soft touch controls on the front panel gives it a high end look. My wife loved it. Fits anywhere and price is awesome. Easy to remove racks and just stack large wine bottles instead of small ones.
This wine cooler refrigerator is beautifully designed to look great in a variety of locations in our home. The motor runs so quietly & now we always have chilled wine available to share with family & friends without having to take up so much space in our kitchen’s refrigerator.
