“Overall the wine fridge is great looking, solidly built, and does a fine job of chilling wines properly. Either i’m doing something wrong, or the shelves only slide out about half-way; this will make seeing & retrieving the wines in the back difficult. I will say that the delivery service was unacceptably slow with little to no information. The unit was in stock and took 2 weeks to move from Texas to New Jersey, and then another 2 weeks from New Jersey to Chicago. A month total. I finally called the service one day, and they didn’t know where it was, just somewhere between NJ and Chicago. Amazingly, I received a call that same evening with delivery scheduled for the next day. The final-mile actual delivery team was awesome, but the overall delivery was very frustrating.”

“I like the wine refrigerator but I’m a little disappointed that it does not hold the amount of bottles it’s supposed to. You must realize that the wine bottles today are a little bigger and take up more room. Like I mentioned I like the unit just feel it was not advertised correctly and for the price you pay you want something that is true to size. Thank you, Kim Hawk”

“Positive: It works, pretty quiet and holds temperature well. Negative: The wires in shelves are spaced in such a way that even the standard Bordeaux bottles don't fit well. It is pathetic that it cannot display temperature in Celsius.”

“The GOOD: It holds consistent temperature and is oh so pretty. The BAD: 1) Every time the compressor first kicks off, it's loud. Like whole-house, can-hear-it-everywhere, have-to-turn-up-the-TV buzzing noise. This abates after a couple minutes. 2) I knew it was unlikely to actually hold 80 bottles, but since it *says* it's sized for bordeaux bottles, I'd get at least 60-70 of those. Not. Even. Close. The instructions show nine bottles per shelf. I wish I could post an image here, but the brackets on the side of the shelf are obviously made for those two-inch wide bordeaux that no one has. Unfortunately since I don't have those, each self only holds *seven* *bordeaux* bottles, not nine. Since there are seven shelves, this is a loss of 14 bottles' worth of capacity. If you are buying this item, plan on that. 3) Finally, the cherry on the sundae. The delivery company, AM Transportation Logistics is absolutely HORRIBLE. If this were their review, they'd be getting a 1 or maybe a 2 since they did actually deliver the item. My experience with them was so bad that if I were buying another wine cellar, I'd shop elsewhere to avoid them. Here's what happened: As the item shipped, I got emails letting me know that once the item got to the local delivery hub, I'd get a call about scheduling the delivery. Instead, at :9:30 AM, I got a text, an email, and a phone call arbitrarily TELLING me that they would be delivering the item between 10:30 and 2:30 the next day and asking me to confirm availability. That's right, on 25 hours notice, I'm supposed to clear my calendar and take a day off work just to be their for them. So I called them back and said, that won't really work for me - I have morning meetings and can we do Saturday, or, if we can't do Saturday, then it needs to be an afternoon delivery so I only have to use a half day of my vacation. I got a "Let me check with the local delivery manager and we'll call you back." The whole day passes with no call back. So, bright and early the next morning I call them again and spend over 30 of my estimated 11 minutes on hold. This time the customer service person tells me that my item is OUT FOR DELIVERY and is scheduled for the 5th stop out of 17. It will be their this morning, EXACTLY WHEN I TOLD THEM WAS THE *LEAST* CONVENIENT TIME TO DELIVER IT. I should have made them take it back at that point, but instead, I ended up rushing home (40 minute drive) so they could deliver it. These AM guys will expect you to be home on short notice, at a time of their choosing (also on short notice). They will NOT call you back when they say and will completely ignore when you tell them is not a good time for delivery. Unfortunately, we consumers don't get to pick them; Wine Enthusiast does. But that means I'm holding Wine Enthusiast responsible for AM's actions, hence the lower mark on this review.”
