KitchenAid - 46-Bottle Wine Cellar - Stainless steel

Excellent and very quiet wine fridge. Fits perfect under a counter and or in your kitchen island.

If you intend to install this in your living spaces, I recommend looking for a different product. This cooler makes more noise when the compressor is running than my much larger kitchen refrigerator, and the type of noise is also more penetrating. The cooler emits a buzzing sound best compared to an open microphone or an improperly grounded electrical guitar connected to an amplifier. I have an extended warranty on the unit, but neither the original warranty nor the extended warranty service organizations are willing or able to deal with this problem. I suspect a design defect, a quality control problem on the manufacturing side, or some combination of both.

Purchased about 6 weeks ago. Great looking unit, sturdy shelves for wine bottles, with a nice wood face front. Dual zones is a nice feature to keep whites at drink-ready temps. The unit does make a bit of noise when the compressor is on, although it has gotten a bit quieter over time. That prevents my 5th star. Overall very pleased, although it is one of the pricier models out there. I have a cheap $300 Sanyo in the garage that has been going strong for over a decade, so hopefully this one will live up to that level of durability.

In my opinion, this is a great looking wine fridge. Unfortunately, the temperature control is not very precise but worst of all is that the compressor failed as at its coldest setting, it would only reach 54 on top and 62 on the bottom and the light would always stay on. I would press the door button and release - and it does nothing. I would turn it on or off... nothing. The light stays on. How bizarre is that?! Plus it is worth noting as others have that the shelves are very “short” (not tall) meaning many, many good wine bottles simply don’t fit.

Unit is great now that I found and addressed a sheet metal vibration issue. The sheet metal under the unit made a very load buzzing when the compressor was on. I think this is a design flaw, but a strategically placed sheet metal screw has quieted it down completely.

Compared to previous wine coolers, this cooler limits bottle size so only smaller claret type wines will fit. Example, champagne needs to be placed in kitchen refrigerator.

My husband and I purchased this wine fridge a year ago. We love it and are glad we can now store our more expensive bottles of wine in the proper temperature. The only minor complaint is that some bottles are too big to fit well in the slots, but we just try to arrange them where they fit in a different spot. It's very quiet. We keep it in an unused bedroom out of the sunlight. Hopefully in our next house we can have it installed under a counter in the kitchen, but a spare room works just as well if you have the space for it.

Shelves need adjustment to fit wine .... a bit noisy
