Great buy!
I have bought this unit as a suggestion from a friend and it has been working "as advertised"
This is a perfect wine chiller for our kitchen counter area where we have a few reds and whites that are at a perfect serving temps at all times.
Thanks to Amazon for having this product on their website!!

Broke After Warranty Expired
Mine broke after warranty expired and Vinotemp told me my choices were 1) ship them the broken fridge at my own expense and pay to have it repaired. 2) Buy a new model.
Yes theirs is a little cheaper but you get what you pay for....

A great little wine chiller for the price
I was a little nervous about buying this online after reading several lackluster reviews. Then I found it last week at our local Target for less than 1/2 the price of similar coolers.
I decided to give it a try and have been quite pleased so far. It took a couple days for the unit to reach its lowest temperature setting of 50 degrees F (I could not find the low temp setting anywhere online). This could be because the bottles I placed in it were had not come down to the set temperature yet. I set it to this lowest setting because I had read a couple reviews that said this unit would not go much lower than 60 degrees F. I was happy to see the unit reach 50.
The box was torn up a bit but the unit was undamaged when I unpacked it. There is not much packing material between the outside of the box an the unit which could be a problem if they are not handled properly. Installation and set up was a breeze. I filled up all the slots with 16 bottles and they all fit perfectly (even a couple Champagne bottles)
Thermoelectric cooling is a bit different than a refridgerator. It is dependent on the external tempterature. I would say this unit needs to be in a room between 68 and 78 degrees with proper ventilation in order to hold the temperature.
We had initially purchased the Cuisinart 12 bottle unit (CWC-1200) but returned it because of some cosmetic damage. I thought for less than half the price we would try the Vinotemp. So far, we have not been dissappointed. Get it at your local Target if you can. I found it at the 2nd store I visited.
