Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had several solid state coolers in my exercise room, they just have not lasted. So I inquired at BB what would provide a longer life. A sales person told me to get one with a real compressor, he acknowledged the solid state units didn't last if you didn't keep their fans clean. I told him how I was going to use it, so he showed me a can fridge, "dorm" fridge and this wine fridge. The appearance of the wine fridge was far superior, and it cooled to a lower temperature (41 degrees) [but no temperature display (-1 star)]. The temp adjustment is on the bottom, behind the bottles, making it inconvenient to get to, but I doubt I'll change it much. Given that I'm going to use this for water and medications that must be kept cold, the shelves in the wine cooler seemed to offer a better fit than the can cooler. They had an 8 bottle cooler, but based on my calculations I could not store more than 16-20 water bottles, this can easily accommodate over 24, although 20 will be fine. Another nice feature is that the door swing can easily be changed from the right side to the left side, by unscrewing 3 screws on the top and bottom of the door, moving the bracket to the other side and screwing the screws back in (no flipping the door). There is a grab handle on both sides of the door. Installation requires removing some packing materials, it is packed quite nicely. I like the exterior appearance of this cooler. The top rack probably would not accomodate a tall wine bottle (like some Rieslings). The unit also does not have an interior light, I had not noticed this in store. But given my exercise room is well lit, this is not a problem for me. The unit is about 18w x 19t x 17d, it runs very quietly, with only a moderate humm. The lowest could get the temperature to go (turning past 'cooler') was 44.5 degrees. I think it looks quite modern, I hope to have it for a long time.

Setup- The set up for the cooler was very easy. After carefully unpacking it and setting it into place, I had to level it by twisting the gray adjustable foot. I placed a towel down on the floor in front of the cooler and would tip it onto the towel so nothing got scratched up. I just twisted the foot and then set it back upright to check it. After a few adjustments it was set to go. The directions say to if it's been on its side to let it sit upright for a few hours before plugging it in and then let it cool down for a couple hours before adding any wine. I have it in my mechanical room so the power cord wasn't long enough for me and I have to use an extension cord with it. Features- The wine cooler is designed to work with any decor. The door has tempered glass to display your collection and is framed with stainless steel. The wine cooler runs very quietly. I honestly can't hear any sort of buzz so I had to open the door and feel to see if it had cooled down or not. There are 2 wire shelves and a wine rack included. Most of the wine bottles fit nicely on the wire shelves. I personally love and drink Risata Moscato. Those bottles are larger than the standard size and don't fit quite as well in the cooler because they're too big for the shelves. So I have to store them on the rack below, which would limit me to how many I can keep cold in the fridge. That's the only drawback I've seen to the cooler. For any casual wine lover, this is a great set up. I love that it saves room in my fridge and my wine is always chilled and ready for myself or company. For anyone who with a modest wine collection and that would like to keep it chilled, I highly recommend the Insignia Wine Cooler.

Great value! This wine cooler is exactly what I needed. It runs pretty quietly, and keeps the wine at the desired temperature. Nice compact size.

The 14-Bottle is the perfect size for the surface of what USED to be my desk (it's now my "wine station"). The temperature has stayed consistent and I always have cold wine at my fingertips.

It works fine and I needed this size to fit into a specific space. My main issue with this unit is that it makes a clicking sound every time it's cooling and due to the location in my home it's a bit annoying. Also, I didn't think the lack of an interior light would matter, but in hindsight I wish I would've purchased a unit with a light.

Very pleased with quality and size fit on top of small fridge and working perfectly

For a small unit, it does it's job fairly well. It uses a relatively small amount of energy, roughly 50 watts while the compressor is on and keeps the temperature stable. The description that others have said about the temperature being 50 degrees F at the center of the temperature dial is correct. It's spot on at 50 degrees and maintains it at that temperature with no more than a 1 degree rise. The difference between the top rack and the bottom rack is about 2 degrees. The clicking someone describes is probably the relay for the compressor clicking on and off. The compressor itself is very quiet and actually comes on for only about 90-120 seconds every 15-20 minutes to maintain the temperature. It would've been nice with an interior light, but it's a simple unit so you can't expect too much. It's a nice looking unit and sits quietly in the corner. I should've bought it a long time ago.

Best little wine coolers! My second. Great size. Quiet.

Great wine cooler. Fits perfectly in my drink area.

Same compact size as our last wine cooler but has capacity for 2 more bottles. Doesn’t have a visual temp display like the previous one but is keeping bottles at a perfect temp.

Love the fridge for the price, it was perfect works quiet and looks sleek

Its great item , it keeps my white wine very cold and its a small cooler that you can fit anywhere

A reasonably priced little wine fridge perfect for small spaces. It was easy to set up and works very well. Also, very quiet. Great buy.

pretty basic wine cooler, but works well. Simple and not complicated. Will hold 14 bottles. It will hold 1 or 2 larger diameter bottles also. Care needed to make sure bottle height is less than specified.

Most value. Basic and does the job. Quiet enough to sit in the living room without noticing the sound. Everything seems to be in perfect condition and proper working order thus far. So, for that it deserves 5 stars. Although we only had it for 2 weeks so I don't know how long it can last. Thats one of the reasons why I gave it 4 stars. One draw back is not having a fancy light inside or having a digital temperature display. But for the price it is well worth it. I cranked up the knob to the coldest setting so I at least know I have an estimate temperature in the low 40s. Perfect for whites. When I plan on drinking a red I will take out the bottle a little earlier and let it sit out. Pour a glass and it will get warmer faster too. I was able to fit some taller bottles in it as well.

It could be a 5 star,but it has issues. Like you can hear when it turns on off. You can hear the motor,it doesn't have any lights in it. Other than that it's work.

Quiet, well designed, and works well! Great for the price and if you have a small space

Great little wine cooler. Perfect for keeping white wine at serving or storage temp. Door can be reversed.

This small cooler is exactly what I required. It is both efficient and quiet. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone.

Great purchase. Size is great and cools very well.
