   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.

   it looks good, but i did order this exact wine cooler 3 times (twice from idealwinecoolers.com & ones from best buy) and every single time the unit arrived smashed on the bottom part. so besides that the delivery guy that might be rough handed, i think it must be a flow on the design that that exact part is so soft…

   This is #2 I’ve purchased. I sold my last home with the frig and wasn’t going to buy another but missed it so much I purchased it again. I find this frig very reliable. And am very satisfied with the quality. The 1st one I had for 3 years with no issues. If you are a wine lover and have limited space I recommend this frig.

   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.

   Overall: It’s not a bad wine fridge.

   Pros: Great aesthetics. Looks great when professionally installed under a counter top. Dual zones are a cool (no pun intended) feature. Reds and whites are kept at appropriate temps.
   Cons: First one delivered had all the front windows smashed in. Second delivery appeared to have been dropped causing a huge dent in the front. THIRD unit delivered (now I’m really committed to making this work at this point) looked like it was dropped as well with a sizable dent in the back left corner. Since this was going to be installed under a counter top, no one would ever see the dent so this was damage I could live with. If you manage to persevere through the delivery/return process (idealwinecoolers.com was extremely helpful), do note that the fans/compressors are somewhat audible on this product. Not noticeable when the TV is on or when you are having a conversation, but you can hear it when quiet. It’s an expensive product, so potential customers should factor that into their decision making process.

   We have had this wine fridge for 5 years! It’s been great. However now the solenoid switch that allows the cooling to switch from side to side has failed. The only option offered by Whynter is to ship it back to them! “Thank you for your patience. The estimated repair fee for the problem you described is $390.00 + $257.05 freight shipping. If the unit is not repairable and a new replacement is needed, an additional $110.00 will be charged after the repair fee has been deducted. Please let us know if you would like to have your unit shipped back to us for repair services and note that freight quotes are only valid for up to 5 days and the price may be subject to change.” Who does this? I called a local appliance shop and they said that Whynter doesn’t make their parts available. What a pain!

   I really love how this looks in my new kitchen. Works great so far. Had it built into my island. Fairly quiet built in the cabinet. I was reading reviews that it was a bit noisy and I think it’s pretty quiet. No different than a good fridge or a good dishwasher. Very quiet
