Whynter - Elite 17-Bottle Wine Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

Everything about the fridge looks and works great! However, we had it running standalone for a few days before the bar cabinets went in. It was so noisy I was considering returning it. When the compressor wasn't running it was almost dead silent. But with the compressor running, it was very distracting while sitting in the same room as the fridge. Once installed in the cabinets, I also put insulation around and on top of it to help with noise absorption. Now when the compressor kicks in, you can hardly hear it! The 2 zone cooling works great! Easy to access and the quality of the metal and lighting is excellent. A great buy once built in! Shipping was good but since it's a heavy item, the box was a bit damaged. Slight dings on the side of the unit not seem didn't warrant fussing about it since I got it at a really good price from BestBuy.

I have purchased and returned several different brands of wine frigs, (including the Whynter Elite 17). Finally have a cooler which keeps the two zones about 10° apart for a reasonable price. It is a good size for us and runs quietly. 17 bottles is pushing it; 15 or 16 is tops.

This is a excellent refrigerator and wine cooler. This is a excellent refrigerator and wine cooler it looks great and fit exactly as it needed to. It has four adjustable feet on the bottom and does a great job keeping the two sections different temperatures. My only complaint reason this does not have a five star review is because it was so difficult to reverse the door. Such a simple task should not have been this difficult and the hardware they used to attach it was all stripped. Otherwise I would have given this a five star review.

Quiet. Shelves slide easily. Very nice item for a narrow space.

Like many others on here, the wine refrigerator arrived slightly damaged at the top and rear. However, since it will be inside a kitchen island the damage isn't in an area where it will be seen so it doesn't really matter to me. It arrived on schedule, runs great and seems to be doing its job well. It is slightly more noisy than my kitchen refrigerator, but not to the point where it bothers me. When this one dies and assuming it lasts at least 5 years, I won't hesitate to replace it with the same unit.
