    An okay little wine cooler, but had a hard time keeping the set temperature and then completely died within 18 months of purchase.

    This is ok. I set it for 65F and I consistently see it sitting at 66-68. I sort of get it will not be great when the house temp is 80 since it is a TEC but this still happens when the house is 74

    My energy cost rose 75.00 by having this in my home and the size of bottles is differently something you will have to consider in purchasing this. It makes a nice nightlight though.

    It looks good and fits perfectly under my counter, but doesn’t really get cold enough for me.

    This cooler keeps twelve bottles of wine at the recommended temperature. The compact design makes placement near the dinning area simple with less effort when replacing a bottle during dinner. I would recommend this cooler for all wine enthusiasts.

    Failed after 6 weeks

    The one good thing about this unit is that it fits tall wine bottles that won't fit in bigger drawer-type wine units. Otherwise, there is not much good to say... - When the unit was brand new the temperature reading would bounce around by a few degrees, which would be OK, except it should really settle down and stop running once in a while. It hardly ever did. - Compared to an older "micro-compressor"-type unit that I used to own, this one is much noisier. - Eventually, after 6 weeks its display stuck at 99 degrees, and this now causes it to run non-stop even though the interior temperature is actually 51 degrees as I measure with a separate thermometer. The unit does not stop trying to go colder, and the controls have no effect at all. This is not usable, so now I have to return it.

    I purchased this wine cooler September 2019 and the cooler randomly started making a weird noise and then stopped working. The light still comes on but I no longer have chilled wine, it’s just for decoration at this point. I’m super disappointed
