   I bought this cooler about a week ago and it seems to be working wonderfully. It is very cool haha. I waited the two hours for all the machinery to settle like the instructions say to, plugged it in and it was down to 46* in about an hour and a half! And we are going through a heat wave right now, 96* as I type up this review, so I’d say it works quite well.. The looks are great, minus the big logo on the front, but that will be easy to take off with a razor blade and some goo gone.. Like everyone else has already confirmed, it does not hold champaigne bottles or any extra long bottles. My Riesling fit in it but that was it, just regular bottles work the best in this one. The style of it is great and the blue LED light looks very sleek and modern. Five stars for this bad boy. 5/1/15: It’s been a year since I purchased my wine fridge and it’s still going strong. Highly recommend!

   Received wine cooler in 1 day. Upon opening the box I saw product was damaged due to improper packaging see attached photo. Also there was no idealwinecoolers.com invoice inside the box!!! I am a long time idealwinecoolers.com customer with approximately 50 purchases or so a year and this was the first time I received a damaged item with no invoice. I plugged the product in and it appears to work without issue. Since the damage is in the back and it is getting hot in SoCal I am going to keep the wine cooler for now. Should it begin to malfunction I will return it. The cooler was able to drop its temperature from 87 degrees when initially plugged in to ideal temp of 57 degrees within 2 hours. I added 2 bottles of wine every 15 minutes to avoid drastic temperature changes.

   Keeps 20ish bottles relatively cool, even during warm Arizona days (80F during the day). Incredibly quiet as well. Certain brands are a bit difficult to fit — Offley and Sandeman ports come in smaller, fatter bottles versus more traditional wine bottles. Extracting a larger bottle usually results in the entire wire rack coming along with it which is mildly annoying. The light is LED and fairly bright. The buttons do make an annoying beep when pressed and you need to press them for slightly longer than usual when changing an option. Beeping when the light goes on/off is a bit excessive but that’s really nit-picky.

   I personally spent hours researching a good quality wine chiller that fits within the boundaries of our home. This is one of the quietest units you’ll find on the market (thermoelectric units being vanishingly difficult to find) and so is great for use near living areas. We measured the sound level at ~40 decibels. The temperature holds steady and the unit doesn’t generate excessive heat. Obviously, the caveat here is that the unit needs to be kept in an area around room temperature for proper functioning since thermoelectric units don’t cool as aggressively as condensers. The ONLY downside is the storage capacity. It won’t hold the advertised amount unless the bottles are all the thin/standard size. This however, is par for the course for these smaller-style units.

   Overall, if you’re looking for a unit that will reliable hold ~12-15 bottles of varying sizes that’s whisper quiet, this is your best bet by far.

   I have had this wine fridge for a year and a half, it functions well and keeps the wine at a nice temperature. What i do not like about it is how close the shelves are to each other. I am unable to fill it will all 20 bottles, right now I have 12 in there and have spaced them out. I noticed that the shelves do not slide out nicely when all of them are full. My other issue is the overall depth of this fridge, I have a few bottles that are a bit taller than the standard wine bottle and they do not fit (should have measured better before I bought it). It works well for casual storage but if you really want to fill it to capacity, I would recommend not buying this unit. It works for now but I am searching for a different and larger fridge to house my growing collection.

   If you are looking to keep your white wines cold enough to serve, this is your choice! Many wine chillers barely cool the wine. The outside temp control is easy & convenient & will chill down to 46*. We were tired of our previous cooler which was more of a storage unit until the wine needed additional cooling in the frig. It’s tight and alternating bottles top in/bottom in is necessary but it works great. A bit smaller than a mini-frig and sharp looking. Whisper quiet. We are beyond pleased!!

   Works great, nice and quiet! Struggles to keep at 41°F during a heat wave, goes up to about 50°F but still does a great job all the rest of the time so I can overlook that.

   I waited a month of usage before writing my review, It was ready to use right out of the box. When my wine refrigerator died, after 5 years of use, I read the reviews of those presently topping the list on idealwinecoolers.com. Nothing seemed to stand out. I remembered seeing this one a few months ago and found it with its great reviews and was glad it was still in stock. It quickly reached my indicated temperature and has held it ever since. If I keep the door open for re-loading, the temperature rises, but quickly returns to my preset.
   I drink alot of French reds. The bottles all fit in the spaces-although some a a bit snug. The larger sparkling wine bottles just fit on the bottom. It has a clean, sleek design. The touch pannel is well placed, so that I don’t change the tempevery time I open it. The interior light clearly light up the bottles. It runs silently.
