Koldfront 16 Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cooler - Platinum

I'm posting this review because of my extreme dissatisfaction with this wine refrigeration product line.Two years ago my husband purchased the Edgestar 28-bottle fridge for me as a Christmas gift.We were so excited with the product that we raved to everyone about it.The following Christmas it was all my parents wanted.We purchased this smaller 16-bottle Edgestar for them.Not two weeks later ours died.My husband is quite handy and called to purchase various parts to repair the unit--over $100 worth--to no avail.We were devastated to throw away a brand new unit just one year after our purchase.I spoke with my parents last night and found to their utter disappointment now theirs has died too--just one year after we purchased it for them.This is TWO units that died immediately after a one-year period!These products are not inexpensive and were a costly investment to preserve our favorite wines.We are disappointed in the quality of Edgestar and have vowed to never purchase again from Compact Appliances.We are also planning to warn all of our wine-loving friends in the wine classes we attend to not purchase the products as well.What a disappointing Christmas!

I bought this cooler because it had the lock.The lock is a joke.A 2 year old could get into this cooler.A simple removal of 2 screws on the bottom of the cooler renders the lock useless.Simply pushing down on the jamb also releases the door.Don't buy this cooler if the lock is important to you!

My girlfriend bought this wine cooler for me last January, and the machine is now dead as of June.It lasted less than 18 months, had poor cooling while it did last, and is now sitting as nothing more than a wine rack in my room.I would STRONGLY recommend not purchasing from this company, no matter how much they reduce the price.

It arrived on time and has more than enough space for all my wine bottles.Although larger than my last counter-top wine cooler, it still allows me plenty of space.Stays cold and fan noise is barely discernible.

I bought this fridge for short-term storage, about 6 months max at a time. When the fridge arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the build quality was far from spectacular. For the price though, the fridge seems to do its job quite well. I've only had the fridge for a couple weeks now and so far the only complaint is that the fan does not go off and has a low hum that's louder than what I was expecting. One other note is that I've managed to fit 4 wines across of different bottle shapes, but if using larger bottles, they don't seat comfortably and are wedged in a bit. For the majority of wine bottles though, there should not be an issue fitting a full 16 bottles in comfortably. The aesthetics of the fridge is neutral in my opinion neither attractive nor ugly. And there's a nice white LED light in the back to illuminate the bottles, however, it's a bit silly that the switch is in the back so that you have to remove bottles if you're looking to access it.

The bottom line is that for the price, this wine fridge does what a budget wine fridge is supposed to maintain a constant temperature in a constant environment. The only feature that I might add is a digital temperature gauge rather than a dial with no markings. Would recommend picking up a thermometer/hydrogemeter.
