“Just over a year ago my 5+ year old wine enthusiast refrigerator died due to a power surge. After such good luck with the dual temperature zones of my last refrigerator I decided to stick with the wine enthusiast brand and upgrade to this larger french door version. For the first few months everything was perfect- I love the ability to keep open bottles in both sides and the dual temperature zones were exactly what I was looking for. A few months later the compressor started making an electrical buzzing noise everytime it turned on. Concerned, I sent an email to the wine enthusiast team and told them what was going on. They needed to hear the sound to decide if it was an issue or not. Finally a few months later after figuring out how to capture the noise I sent it in and they informed me that's a normal sound... annoying but okay. Now... just a month after the 1 year limited warranty is up my wine fridge lights flash everytime the compressor turns on or off, makes loud clicking sounds every few minutes and the lights of the fridge aren't even totally visible at every temperature setting. I've also noticed the temperature seems to be colder than it used to be on my 60 degree reds side. I'm very disappointed that my $400 purchase worked well for less than a year. Maybe I got a lemon but sadly, I'm not sure I will get a wine enthusiast product again.”

“The wine cooler has worked out OK. The complaint is the noise and the compressor cycles on and off regularly. I have both sides set on the appropriate temperatures. Mid 60s for reds and mid 40s for whites. The cooler maintains those temps. The compressor comes on often and is noisy.”

“I would have preferred that the deliver people put it on my porch of the rain instead of leaving it on my sidewalk”

“Unit looks fantastic and works great. Had read other reviews about noise and didn't think it would be too bad. Boy was I wrong. It's not so loud per say, but the unit cycles every 2 minutes or so for 30 seconds. Loud click on, loud click off. Sometimes a very loud buzzing. This is when unit is stable. If a door is opened for long, it runs longer, then settles into the cycling. Door seals intact and no leakage, just annoying cycling. Have a 3 year warranty so if it stops cooling, then it will get replaced. Until then, it will hide in a closed door room.”

“The cooler works fine, it’s just VERY loud! I called customer service/tech support, basically was told it’s not too loud. Wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s in a basement. Now it’s not only loud, but when the motor kicks on - continuously- it make a high pitch noise for a second or two. Don’t, just don’t.”

“I have called and emailed on several occasions complaining of odd noises coming from the unit. Fan often runs on and off every few seconds, also a loud crackling noise on occasion that sounds like a bug zapper. Customer service keeps you on hold forever. Problem Still has not been resolved. No one has returned my calls or answered my my emails. Having buyers remorse.”
