I've had this model for 1 year now, and it is a solid product but it has two things going against it: 1: it doesn't have a temperature display, so unless you put in a separate thermometer (i put a hand-held in) you have no idea what the temperature is. 2: THE CELLAR'S TEMPERATURE WILL BE AFFECTED BY HOW HOT THE ROOM IS. Our apartment gets very hot in the summer, and I saw the cellar's temp rise to 70 degrees set on high! This is unacceptable if you're housing age-worthy wines. When our apartment is of "normal" temp (around 70) the cellar maintains the desired 55 degrees when set on high. Don't expect the model to maintain a constant temp if the room fluctuates greatly!

A couple things to note and reiterate from previous reviews. Yes this unit is not silent, but it is quiet. It has a continuous electric fan cooling the unit instead of refrigerant, which kicks on when it needs cooling. This is the beauty of the unit, as it doesn't have a compressor taking up a hump in the bottom of the unit. So far the sound doesn't really bother me in my small one bedroom apartment. Temperature fluctuation is a big deal if your house or apartment fluctuates greatly. Since most people heat or cool to 70 degrees, the wine cooler will cool to 55 degrees. Haven't done it yet, but I could go pick up a $3 analog thermometer to prove it if this is a problem. I would rather one less thing built in to go wrong. Bottom line is for what you pay for this unit, it exceeds expectations. It has a lot of storage (although be careful with labels tearing try to get in larger bottles), nice black with dark tinted glass (for UV protection) appearance, no reviews on failing units after 6 months, and most importantly free shipping from Overstock. Try to get that out of most Haier, Avanti, Danby, etc. 28 bottle wine coolers in this price range and above.

I bought this for my husband about a year ago. Works great and very quiet. It is actually in our livingroom being used as an end table. The lock keeps the kids out and although I have caught them sitting on it, standing on it and jumping off of it, it still works great.

The wine cellar was delivered promptly and in perfect condition because it was packaged with plenty of cushioning. There is no thermometer, but I am using my meat thermometer, balanced on a shelf. If I cook a roast, etc., I'll simply retrive it from the cooler since it is right in the kitchen. When I get new granite countertops, I plan to have a wooden platform built for the cooler to stand on to make it counter-top high and have the new counter extend over it.

I am still not sure we are keeping this wine frig. It came dented up and missing a screw in the back. The dent is visible from the top and sides. It does run nicely, and chills the bottles, but very poor craftsmanship. It also does not fit large bottles as nicely as you would think. Just be careful when ordering!

The wine fridge is very sharp looking. It was Fall when I received it so I don't know if, in the height of summer, I will find it not cold enough as another reviewer mentioned. It seems fine now, but it hard to judge. I have two negatives: one is that it is NOT quiet. It hums all the time, higher pitched the higher you set the dial from min to max. Most wine refrigerators hum when they are running and are silent when they are not. This doesn't have the whole fan/compressor set up so it literally hums all the time. It is a little annoying, but I can live with it. The other problem is that not all wine bottles fit on the shelves. The ones that have the high shoulders (like the one in the picture on this site, funnily enough) do not fit. So, good value for the money, most holding this number of bottles were much more money. I would recommend, with the above caveats.

This is a great price for a wine cooler. However, for the technology the electric fan in this unit is noisy. You can hear it running easily. I have a smaller cooler for my white wine that is quiet so the technology is not at faut.

We added a bar to our basement and the wine cooler is an excellent addition. Excellent quality and appearance.

Lasted 3 years and worked perfectly - then it just stopped. So for the price I guess it was good - but disappointed it didin't last longer

For the last 5 months the unit would get very noisy and it quit working altogether after 2 1/2 years. OK for the price I guess

We have used this for several years and find it to be a very nice piece. We rarely use the nside led lights, but it looks nice when they are on.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? yes

I bought this wine cooler nearly three years ago and it has kept all of my reds and vermouth at the right temperature. Some wines that I bought even before I had the cooler have stored very well and maintained their structure. The fact that there is no compressor mystifies me, but it makes for a very quiet (it's in my bedroom) appliance which consumes relatively little power. If overstock carries them again, I will buy another

This product worked for one year. It became noisy. Then the temp had to be adjusted constantly. Finally it died. And it says 1 year warranty. Now it just sits there with my wine in it. Not happy It would be stupid to get fixed now. It would cost more than the wine cooler.

I've had this wine cooler for about three weeks and it works great.The only thing is that the fan is a little noisy...but for the price that I got it for, I don't mind!!

We bought this cellar to replace our old one. We were concerned about the reports of humming, but like the price and the capacity of this cellar, so bought it anyway. It arrived in perfect condition right out of the box- just plug and fill! The shelves adjust to accommodate large or small bottles, and the humming,while present, is not overwhelming. It may have to do with the fact that the motor is completely encased; while this may increase the noise factor, it also may lengthen the life of the motor. Cannot comment on durability more than that- our last cellar died as a result of something leaking onto the motor, causing a short. Not a problem with this design. We are very happy with our purchase- saw many at a higher price, but would definitely go with this one again!

It had a dent in the back and one leg missing. Can't complain for such a good deal. It works great and looks great in my kitchen/dining area. Would recommend.

About as expected for the low price. Kind of flimsy feel to it, but it's quiet (so far), arrived in one piece undamaged, and fairly unobtrusive. Good for a starter cooler. Time will tell how it holds up.

It was of grewat quality, fast shipping, very nicely constructed. Better than I was expectingh!

i've never seen a better deal on a wine celler...it makes less noise when set to minimum but i have super powered hearing anyways...so pretty quiet, looks great, keeps the wine at the appropriate temp...great item!
