I am very satisfied with this unit, except for one small complaint - you have to be careful when pulling out the racks, as they are not very well restrained, and if you are not careful, they can come all the way out unexpectedly (and ruin a perfectly good $5 bottle of wine!). On the positive side, this unit is well made, and (importantly) it is very quiet. It is a true refrigerator, not a solid state cooler, so I was a little concerned about the possibility of noise, but it makes only a soft purring sound when the compressor is in operation. We had it in the bedroom while waiting for our kitchen to be completed, and we hardly noticed it even a few feet from the bed. The controls and display are intuitive and effective, without unnecessary complexity. The light can be controlled by the door, or turned on permanently, which was a nice touch. Temperature control is accurate and consistent. If the racks were a little better designed, I would give this 5 stars.
Awesome little wine fridge! We picked it because we had a 12" space (left by a previous trash compactor that died) and didn't want to reconfigure cabinets etc. Perfect find! The dual zones - allowing you to keep reds and whites at different temperatures - is a fabulous feature. It is a bit of a tight squeeze to fill the shelves, but 3 bottles do fit on each shelf as long as you stagger them.
I bought this unit when we were remodeling out kitchen. The unit is visually appealing and fits snugly in my 12" wide opening. The unit worked properly for a while but then all of sudden, wouldn't cool our wine. I reached out to customer service (Lexie M. with Whynter) and rec'd a prompt reply asking some questions and provided troubleshooting tips. After several emails back and forth, we concluded that I wasn't going to be able to fix whatever the issue was. Lexie helped figure out a solution to ship the unit back to be fixed (or replaced if a fix wasn't possible). While I was disappointed the product stopped working, I am happy with the level of customer service and their ability to find a quick and reasonable solution. Thanks!
I've had this for well over 2 years now and I have not had any issues with it. It keeps temp (just recently checked with a thermometer) and looks good. There is no reason to complain. I paid quite a bit more than the current lowest price. For 300 I think this is a good bargain
I had this put into the kitchen about 2 months ago. We originally planned to have a 15" unit installed but ended up with a design that gave us room for a 12" unit. No regrets getting this. It holds 17 standard bottles and has a really nice looking facade. I had a built-in KitchenAid unit in our last house and this is by far much nicer. We love having the dual zones for different wines. So far we're very satisfied with it.

Great product
Works beautifully. Maintains temperatures much better than the larger one we had before. Love it!
Love the wine cooler. Easy to handle and the separate temperature zones are great. The whites are at a perfect 45° and the reds at 60°.
Overall I am very satisfied with this unit, except for one small complaint - the starter went out after 13 months. Contacted Jackie at Whynter Customer Support and she extended the warranty and is having us send the unit back for repair and/or replacement. On the positive side, this unit is well made, and (importantly) it is very quiet. The controls and display are intuitive and effective, without unnecessary complexity. The light can be controlled by the door, or turned on permanently, which was a nice touch. Temperature control is accurate and consistent.
Excellent wine cooler. Going strong for three years. Quiet and holds temp consistently.
