So as our 25th anniversary gift to each other, we wanted to a spare no expense type deal with everything within budget. So that obviously was the tough part. We got a a great deal on our 48" Viking stove from a local closeout store. That and our brand new Subzero basically blew through our appliance budget. I desperately wanted a Uline but the wine refrigerator was an optional appliance in our plan and after talking to a builder friend of mine I was pointed in this direction. Whynter isn't widely available but this model is very worth considering. Well designed and with a width that was exactly the gap in the cabinets that I was trying to fill so that made it a much easier sell to the wife.
The price was what really got me. It you want a gorgeous wine fridge that you can fit into almost any remodel budget, this is probably the ONE you're looking for. Heavy trimmed shelves with flawlessly smooth dual doors. It's every bit as nice as in the pictures. The performance is what I was expecting, but I'm impressed with how low decibel it is under the counter. The most important thing is you don't notice it around until it catches your eye. The top and bottom areas are perfect for Champagne or larger girth bottles, but the rest of the shelves are a tight fit. Simple solution is to remove shelving as needed depending on your collection. We are both glad we made this part of our project.
I love this duel zone wine refrigerator. It is very quiet and was easy to install and set up. It has a blue light inside, and has two zones, so I use one side for reds and one side for whites. It was delivered by a delivery service, and I was able to coordinate the delivery based on when I would be home. I have had no issues thus far, and the wine is a perfect temperature, based on the settings.
Just got this 2 months ago and we're have this installed in our dining room. This is our 2nd wine fridge. We have a GE Profile that came with the kitchen but were running out of space. This is by far much nicer. The dual zones are good for wine you drink regularly without having to worry about extra chilling anything. This wine fridge hums a low decibel level and is what you want if you are using it near a living space. Holds standard bottles comfortably but you need to stick the champagne bottle in the top corner compartment that is bigger. It's a good bargain for a mid-high end wine chiller.
This thing looks great and holds plenty of bottles, however it is LOUD. Not just the hum, but also some type of gurgling noise. It's easily louder than my Samsung (full size) fridge and Kenmore beverage fridge combined. Our cabinets are still being built so I'm hoping it will cut the noise down once it's fully enclosed, but if you are planning to have this exposed on any sides or as a standalone, steer well clear of it.
UPDATE: after having it installed in a built-in wall unit for a few months the noise was cut down quite a bit, although still audible. That being said, we are used to it now and don't even notice it's on unless we're in the dining room. Good purchase except for standalone installs.
I needed to purchase a replacement part and my issue was quickly resolved by Allie F at Whynter. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding my issue.
