   So far I love my Kalamera KRC-150CB wine/soda cooler. It’s pretty, fits nicely in my butler panty, cooled down and is maintaining the chill on my soda and wine, and the company has been great to work with. Take a look at the pictures – to me it looks great. Kalamera had said it needed a 24″ space and it fit perfectly in it. I had to adjust how far back the carpet went so that it would sit level front to back and that seemed important so it would work quietly. I also had to make sure it wasn’t pushed too far back so the doors would open and not hit the cabinets next to it. It is working very quietly and shuts off and sits silently once it cools down. Follow the instructions and I think you’ll have success. You may notice the power cord still is running over the top of it. It is, but as soon as the outlet is working behind it then I’ll pull it out and plug it in back there. No problem. I love the French Doors. They are beautiful and limit how much space is used in the depth of the Butler Pantry when they are open. I found online that Coke products like 38 degrees and Pepsi likes 40 degrees so I have Coke in the right and Pepsi in the left. I know it doesn’t use all the space, but I am just putting whole 12-pack soda boxes on the shelves. They fit great except the bottom ones on each side that are actually half shelves. I do have wine bottles down there even though its not really the optimum temperature for them. It comes with wood shelves on one side for wine and plastic coated shelves for soda on the other. I’m really more interested in soda so I’m using the plastic coated ones and removed most of the wood ones. I did need one more short wood shelf and contacted the company at [email protected]. They were GREAT! Very responsive and got me one in the mail the same day for a very reasonable price. Thanks for the wonderful support Kalamera! Finally, there have been comments online here about short life problems. While that can happen I have nothing to believe this isn’t going to be a great product. I could certainly see how there would be issues if the directions aren’t followed (such as keeping it upright for 24 hours before installation) I have no indications so far that this is going to be anything but a joy. I will update my review if that changes. Should add that the price of this was less than half what the appliance company wanted to charge for another manufacturer’s product. We didn’t want to pay more than the cost of a full-size refrigerator for this and idealwinecoolers.com’s price was great. It came right away and the packaging was great so it was well protected.

   This fridge is great for the price point. Here is some helpful information: 1. It arrives is a large box with a pallet delivered to front door. 2. Unboxing takes awhile at it’s packed very well. You would benefit by having scissors and box cutters handy. 3. Give yourself plenty of time to unbox and deal with the Styrofoam padding. It can be a little messy so have a broom and hand held vacuum ready for clean up. 4. Cut down all the cardboard boxing sides to expose the fridge. The fridge is on a thick padding and stable. 5. There will be those packing pieces under the fridge, tilt it and vacuum before moving it to it’s location. 6. One person can move the fridge if this person has decent strength and maneuvering capabilities. My fridge was moved down a flight of stairs by one person. 7. Let the fridge sit for 24 hours before plugging it in. Very important. 8. The fridge handle needs to be attached, and it is very simple to do so. 9. There are two keys that come with the fridge, put them in a safe location as they are small and can easily be misplaced. 10. After the fridge is plugged in let it set another 24 hours before placing items in the fridge. What I like: this fridge is very quiet, functional, and has a great aesthetic. It fits perfectly under a counter. The shelves are movable, and the blue light inside of the fridge is pretty cool. Overall I think the fridge is great for my application and recommend, especially for the price point. There are so many under-counter fridges to pick from, but they are often well over $1,000. I have a nice, but basic house, and would prefer not to spend that kind of money for a TV room fridge. That was the main reason I picked this fridge.

   Don’t buy this. It’s noisy, it barely cools, it ices up if you set it below 50, and as it ices up it gets even louder. I can’t imagine anyone leaving a positve review for this that actually owns it. I should have returned it within the 30 day window. The company support is non-existent and you have zero recourse with idealwinecoolers.com once you do figure out its trash. Imagine setting your fridge to 38 (I think thats the lowest) and it runs non-stop, all day, every day, and explodes cans because it ices up. My advice to you, the reader of this, run. Don’t walk, run away from this and probably most of the other off-brand little fridges on here. I’m going to end up biting the bullet and buying an expensive one, just so I know it will have a warranty, the company will stand behind it, and it won’t be crap. I mean, I guess it could be crap, but at least they’ll stand behind their crap. Run.
