After one year and a half the unit is broken.....74F all time....
from Avon, IN on 5/17/2008
You have to remove the top shelf to add or remove bottles from the middle shelf. In addition, the lowest the temp will go is 50 degrees instead of 46. I would have returned it but I threw away the box

chills red wine perfectly and is very quiet -
We liked it for the first year and half we had it, but then, the temperature controller refused to control the temperature. We kept trying to set it at 58 degrees, but it started fluctuating everywhere (but still withing acceptable ranges). Then, the compressor started heaving and moaning, so we unplugged it...and just bought a new one.
The cooler has a great look and fits well on our countertop, but it needs to be much hardier.
The light hasn't worked since we received the unit as a wedding gift. Now a year and ond half later it doesn't work at all. I wold not advise any one to buy this product.

Convenient kitchen storage. Will not mainain temperature of 48 degrees.

This is a great little wine refrigerator.
middle shelf is too small to fit normal size bottles and the face plate with the brand name near the display is peeling off the unit

We recently bought both a 16 bottle and 6 bottle wine cooler. When filling the 6 bottle cooler last evening, we noticed that the spacing between the shelves does not accommodate "standard" sized 750ML bottles. We took the shelves out, wiggled the bottles but to no avail. By standard, I am referring to bottle shapes like those of Kendall Jackson, Cake Bread Cellars.
The first one of these I ordered had to be replaced, as it worked for 48 hours and stopped [...]The one I have now varies temp from 68 to 54 degrees in a 24 hour period on a regular basis. If I want wine chilled, I need to reset the temp prior to serving. This is OK for me, since I am only an occasional drinker, but folks who like to have a chilled bottle of wine on hand at all times may want to consider another product.

This wine refrigerator enables us to chill several bottles of wine without taking up space in our regular refrigerator. The design goes well with our kitchen decor...and it does NOT make any noise (except when we first put wine bottles in to chill).

Fits well on kitchen counter.
from Hummelstown, PA on 2/19/2008
I purchased two of these. One for red wines and one for white wines. They work perfect. The run very quiet and appear to use very little electricity.
I purchased this refrigirator for my husband's birthday. It is 2 years old and has stopped working...completely. Circuit board is dead and unit appears to be off when it's plugged in. This refrigerator has seen minimal use and sits on a shelf in the kitchen. [...]

We ordered the version with a stainless steel door in the hope that it would blend in with other appliances and, unfortunately, it did not. It looked more like chromed plastic than brushed stainless.
On the plus side, once the unit got to temperature it was essentially silent. I had to lean over and put my ear next to the back in order to hear it running.
from Denver, CO on 2/12/2008
A very good value and very convenient for the small consumer. Tucks out of the way - unobtrusive. Excellent temperature control.
from Pittsburgh, PA on 1/28/2008
It's a good size -- fits on a countertop.
It is not quite silent -- actually slightly louder than the
full-size refrigerator.
from Mesa AZ on 1/22/2008
I was so happy to find a good looking copper wine cooler to complement my kitchen decor.
from Bishopville, MD on 1/14/2008
We use this product when we entertain and when we have a quiet evening at home
from Sunapee NH on 1/14/2008
We have the product currently on our kitchen counter and are in the process of remodeling. We are planning to build it into our new cabinets.
from Virginia on 1/11/2008
Item won't cool my Pinot Grigios to that crisp cold I crave. Even when set at the lowest setting of 46.
from Greensboro, NC on 1/8/2008
Seems to work fine so far. Temp hangs around 47 deg. in my kitchen. Nice shape with no protruding handles or parts.
My only complaint is that I'm disappointed in the stainless steel color. It's more like a dull or hazed chrome.
It does not match any of my stainless steel appliances as I hoped it would. Maybe you should advertise as "highly reflective polished stainless look".
from Plymouth, MI on 1/1/2008
We are using this product for just a few bottles of wine and have it settled on a corner of our bar. Fits perfectly!
from Riverside, Ca on 12/28/2007
Bought this as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law. They live in a small condo and do not have a lot of counter space. This fits perfect. Since they are just starting out into the wonderful world of wines, a 6 bottle refrigerator is just right.
from Seattle, WA on 12/28/2007
This is the fifth wine cooler that I have owned. All the others, including two Cuisinarts, were returned because they either failed or made excessive noise.
This one is just right and fits into the kitchen space under the prep table.

Wine refrigerator great size for kitchen counter and very quiet. Keeps cellar temperature perfectly. Shelving is somewhat inflexible in size of bottle accommodated and still keeping number of bottles at six.

As a newcomer to the world of wine [...] I wanted something to help preserve my new collection & keep my wines within a servable temperature range & this unit has worked great.Thinking of adding another unit to keep more of my collection ready to serve.

Ideally used at 77 - 80 degree environment. Come on. Simply does not do the job for white wine. Hopefully will protect wine from getting too hot.

I bought this unit for my girlfriend and you can't really hear it at all. She put it on the floor in her apartment bedroom with nothing around it. It looks great. I believe she's looking for another place for it, but for now it looks pretty good where it sits with the LED light on constantly. Pretty attractive.
I did a lot of research before buying this fridge. I was a little afraid of buying something I did not see in person, but the Wine Enthusiast made me feel like they would deliver a great product and they have. The issue I saw most when reseaching was how cold a wine fridge should keep wine. This fridge, and others like it keep the wines COOL as wine is meant to be chilled, not real cold. She keeps the temperature around 50 degrees and its perfect right out of the fridge. She also just keeps her whites in it. The fridge fits a basic bottle so no worries there. Obviously a small fridge like this doesnt fit one of those enormous bottles.
This fridge is perfect for someone who drinks wine regularly but doesnt want to build a huge collection just yet or just wants a few backup wines just in case you have a party.
One thing is that open wine bottles may drip, as the directions in the box tell you not to put open bottles back into it. If you put the cork back in tight enough, I don't know that it matters, but look out for the possibility of dripping.....not the fridge's fault!
Overall I would buy a Silent fridge again and absolutely recommend it. I am extremely satified with this product!

We were looking for an item that would be colder than your typical portable wine cellar. This works great!
