Other Notes:
- I let it get to 55 F before loading. Once loaded, it went up to 67 (expected) and came back down to 55 over about 5 hours. Temp does move around some. Set a 55 - I placed an thermo/hygro inside and see consistent 55.4-56.3 - plenty good enough for me, but if you are super sensitive just be aware.
- Like others, I'll note that does not hold bigger Pinot bottles without removing a rack. I could not get Orin Swift 8 Years in the Dessert to fit without taking a rack out. I also have a Magnum that won't fit without removing shelves. That's the only ding on this, but to make them fit would mean the fridge would have to be too big for what I needed - so I'll take the size and deal with a bottle or two elsewhere.
I do have a CdP, a vintage port and a few bigger bottles that rub on the rails but fit just fine. No issues for me.
Great buy if you want affordable peace of mind for your nicer wine.
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2019
When I reached out and said it still didn't work. They said it's just defective and have offered no way to fix it. While it is out of warranty and so I'm not expecting a free fix, this company could still offer paid service or parts to fix it. I do not want to have buy a whole replacement fridge when it probably just needs some basic servicing.
As such, I do not recommend this company and I do not recommend this product.
1. Firstly, please improve your quality control. The first fridge I got delivered had a dent and would not stand still. I messaged customer service, and they kept telling me that I hadn't "set up" the fridge correctly. Um. This fridge requires no assembly! Thankfully, they allowed me to return it, but it was quite annoying lugging this huge thing to my local post office.
2. The temperature control sucks. If you put more than 3 new wine bottles into the fridge, the temperature won't stabilize for another 4-5 hours. It's very weak.
3. The lowest temperature this fridge can go to is 54 degrees, which is too warm for white wine. I'd prefer 49 or 50 for white wine.
I've read reviews that this fridge just stopped working after a year or two. I will update this review if anything has changed. Hopefully, it lasts a long time because the fridge is very quiet and looks beautiful and sleek.
