Silent 48 Bottle 2-Zone Wine Refrigerator

Silent 48 Bottle 2-Zone Wine Refrigerator
  • 48 bottle capacity
  • silent thermoelectric cooling
  • dual temperature zones with digital display
  • doors lock individually for protection

Pros:

1) 2 sides so you can keep different temps

2) Looks nice

3) Quieter than compressor 'cellars'

4) Keeps temperature

Cons:

1) Doesn't fit 48 bottles

2) Pinot bottles don't easily fit

3) Racks scrape labels

4) Light only illuminates top 2 rows

5) Doesn't get as cold as documented/advertised

I read all reviews before purchasing and knew going in about the first 4 `Cons' I've listed, but I was okay with that. What I had not read anywhere was `Con'# 5 (the unit's inability to get as cold as documented), so I will focus on that...

First things first, the manufacturer (Wine Enthusiast) states the internal temperature range is 50 66 F +/7 degrees. Although they state the proper temperature for both whites and reds is between 53 and 57 I have to disagree. I have read and discussed with many `wine enthusiasts' (wine makers, store owners, and drinkers) the proper chilling temp for white is 45 47 F. I `assumed' (bad idea) that I could set each side at 50 F and expect to have the lower sections reach 43 F. Therefore I could chill whites on the lower shelves and reds on the upper shelves. I figured this would meet my needs and decided to purchase the unit.

I ordered the fridge from Amazon and received it within days. I anxiously unpacked it, plugged it in, set the temp to 50 F on both sides, placed a couple tester bottles in it from my other chiller and waited. 24 hours later I grabbed the bottles and tested the bottle temp (using an infrared thermometer used to test surface temperature). To my surprise the lower bottles on each side were only 54 55 F, while the upper bottles were as warm as 59 F. Thinking my gun needed calibration I decided to test the internal temp of the unit. I placed two thermometers at the bottom of the left side (one digital and one analog/liquid) and waited another 24 hours. I checked each thermometer and sure enough the left side was only getting as low as 54 degrees (I repeated the test on the right side, same results).

I phoned Wine Enthusiast and they told me to unplug the unit, wait a couple hours, and plug it back in to `reset' the thermostat. I did that and conducted the same test (with all three thermometers) 24 hours later and received the exact same results. I called back the next day and spoke to a technical representative who said possibly a board was bad and they would ship me another unit.

The shipment came about a week later and again I conducted the same tests. This time the temperature range was 51 53 F (lower section to upper section, respectively). I checked the temperature over the next several days and it never wavered (51 F lower section, 53 F upper section both sides). So although the temperature was steady it was not cold enough to truly `chill' white wine.

After contemplating my options I decided to keep the unit and store only reds in it. I think it would be fine for storing whites as well but not for chilling. I have another unit that goes as low as 41 (actually tested at 37 F) so I use that for my whites and the Wine Enthusiast for my reds.

Solutions for common issues:

To resolve pinot bottle storage, I remove the top rack and store pinot bottles on the next available rack (only 2 per side will fit comfortably) but this reduces total capacity by 8 bottles. The top rack is pretty much useless due to its proximity to the thermostat anyway.

To resolve the scraping, I use a 3 2 3 configuration. I flip every other rack upside down and this prevents scraping (but it reduces the storage capacity by another 6 bottles).

Bottom Line, there are a lot of bargain wine `cellars' out there and from what I've read all have issues. However, I would not recommend this one to anyone wanting to chill whites. If you only want to store reds then maybe this is for you, but don't be fooled into thinking it can store anywhere near 48 bottles (I think the total is closer to 32).

Perfect for the not-so-snotty wine buff. Keeps plenty of wine stocked outside the refrigerator. Dual controls a plus. Racks are small so oversized bottles don't make it and the racks can actually scrape the labels off if you are not careful. All in all, a bargain wine cooler for the average wine consumer.

Item was delivered 15 days after it was ordered only to arrive damaged (looked like it was dropped a couple times). The doors didn't shut and the top was bent. After being on hold for 20 min, they were gracious enough to re-ship another unit but did not allow for the option to expedite shipping or change to a different carrier. The second item arrived 21 days later and was in worse condition than the first. The doors were ajar and the entire back was bent in. After another 30 minute telephone conversation, they agreed to refund the purchase price but were not going to refund the $85 shipping until I requested it. Very frustrating experience.

Just purchased this wine refrigerator about a month ago. We have filled it up and it seems to be working perfectly. It's a quiet and reasonably attractive free-standing unit that was easy to get up and running. We look forward to years of use.

Wine Enthusiast does not provide direct service on wine coolers. They won't tell you this, but these wine coolers do not utilize a compressor. Instead, it is cooled by two small thermoelectric cooling chips located in the rear of the cooler. There is one thermoelectric chip on each side which are cooled by a small fan. These chips fail regularly, but Wine Enthusiast will not pay to replace these chips once the warranty expires. Instead, they can only be purchased from an outside vendor. Replacing the chips is not easy. It involves removing the back of the wine cooler and disassembling the cooling module. Bottom line, this is a cheaply made wine refrigerator and will not last for many years.

The serial #s that was giving for this key did not match the serial #s to my Freezer, but I took a chance and purchase the key anyway. i received the key in less than a week. The key fit so well i turned around and bought three more .

HSINI Portable Travel Mini Car Cooler & Warmer Car Mini Refrigerator (Capacity: 12L)

HSINI Portable Travel Mini Car Cooler & Warmer Car Mini RefrigeratorI love this product. If you start with something cold in it, it chills up very quickly. I put 3 ice packs in it and they stay frozen for days as long as it's plugged in. I'm a nursing mom who travels, and this keeps the milk cold. Works much better than the previous one that we had. On the trip from Washington to Arizona all our items stayed very cool. Very happy with this product.

This product works great! Keeps everything icy cold when my husband is on the road. He doesn't have to worry about stopping for ice, or having the ice take up so much room in the cooler. We didn't get the adapter, so we just put a bag of ice from our freezer in it the night before he is leaving and it is cold when we are ready to fill it. Very happy with this product.

Highly recommended product.

Vinotemp VT-TC32SB 32-Bottle Wine Cooler with Digital Display

Vinotemp VT-TC32SB 32-Bottle Wine Cooler with Digital Display
  • Wine cooler stores up to 32 standard-size bottles of wine
  • Dual-paned glass door; stainless-steel trim and handle; 6 storage racks
  • Digital display with adjustable temperature settings; interior light
  • Front-venting exhaust; built-in or freestanding option
  • Measures 23-1/4 by 15 by 34-1/2 inches; 1-year limited warranty

Not buying this brand again. I bought a different (older) Vinotemp 32 bottle fridge. It broke after one year (one side didn't work). Really had to get it fixed, customer service atrocious, and if you've ever had to hire an electrician that will fix a wine fridge, you know that it's not worth it (expensive and very very time consuming).

To top it off, they are pricey. In this price, go for a Maytag or other better known brand. Or spend less and get a Haier. Can't be any worse.

Was excited to receive this cooler as a birthday gift, but it quickly turned into a nightmare.

The temps do not adjust as the manual states, white wine only gets to slightly below room temp.; I wound up calling customer service at vinotemp only to be told to leave a voicemail for someone to call me back, I left several messages, no one called me back; I finally had to insist to speak with someone and when i did get a person, they read off an entirely different manual than the one that came with the cooler and was ready to argue with me than assist me.

I returned the wine cooler and would not recommend this brand to anyone.

Bought from lowes love it. Perfect size. Lots of compliments. In remodeling i put this unit in and it made my kitchen.

Want Vinotemp VT-TC32SB 32-Bottle Wine Cooler with Digital Display Discount?

First, this is the same model as VT-32 wine fridge just different shelves.

I did a lot of research when looking for a wine fridge. I needed a specific width to fit in my kitchen, and wanted to stay within a reasonable budget. Well, now I wish I trusted the reviews about this model who warn you that it is super loud. My dishwasher is quieter than this monster! When it turns on I can hear it from my bedroom on another floor!

In addition, the temperature fluctuates a lot (+/5 degrees from what you set it on), which I don't care about much since I don't store expensive wines. But if you do this is something to consider.

We wanted to get rid of our old ugly trash compactor. This unit fits perfectly in the space of a trash compactor. The only thing we had to do was remove the feet, then it slid right in.

It looks fantastic! I hope it doesn't burn out in 18 months like I have read about some of the other vino temp products.

It runs a lot. I'm hoping it doesn't run our electric bill up. It only goes down to 45 degrees. That may be as cold as one is supposed to drink wine, but we would really like it a little cooler.

Wine gets hot really fast in Texas.

The best thing about this unit is the way it looks. Matches our Samsung appliances perfectly with stainless steel front and blue lights.

Whirlpool 4389102 Ice Level Control Board Kit for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 4389102 Ice Level Control Board Kit for RefrigeratorBEWARE! This control board is neither made by Whirlpool, nor is it a factory specification part authorized by the manufacturer to repair their appliances.

As of the date of this review, take a good look at that picture of the part by enlarging it. You can clearly see the letters FSP inside the parallelogram outline. This indicates it is a Factory Specification Part, and it is printed on both circuit boards. This influenced my decision to purchase it, as it would mean it isn't a generic or rebuilt junk part, which in my opinion are inferior. I wanted Whirlpool, as the one that failed is original and lasted 9 years.

The product description is equally deceptive, as it uses the Whirlpool part number followed by "Genuine Replacement Part". It is genuine in the fact that it does exist. It ISN'T genuine Whirlpool or genuine FSP, which the use of "genuine" alludes to without actually stating it.

Upon getting my package, I noticed that the parts box didn't have any Whirlpool writing or markings on it. That didn't bode well, but I opened the box. Inside were a set of directions printed on a piece of paper, which also had no manufacturer markings. The two circuit boards were in separate anti static bags, luckily see through. Both parts were of course lacking my above criteria. I didn't have to open the bags, so I immediately filed to return these items. I am not pleased that I have to eat the shipping back to partshouse because the picture is not of the actual item you receive and the description is deceptive in conjunction with the picture. DON'T buy if you are picky about your replacement parts. But if you like to roll the dice with a part that may not last as long as a factory part, by all means buy this.

Edit on 4/26/13**If you purchase this from seller "partshouse" like I did, not only do you have to pay to ship it back, the guy has the gall to charge you a 20% restocking fee, even though it was his misleading description and picture that convinced me to buy it. I'd liken that to bait and switch. Amazon made it right, but they should think about suspending this company's privileges to sell on Amazon. BTW, the picture and description haven't been updated to reflect this is a knockoff part yet.

I ended up getting the correct part off of the famous auction site for roughly another $30 from another seller, who actually sold OEM parts and it was so worth it.

Both boards were very easily installed with the attached directions and it even had a troubleshooting list which let me know if the problem was even going to fix it with what I ordered. Fast shipping.

I don't know if the quality of the components are the same or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were. Someone competent in electronics could evaluate it and post back. I did some testing from online information and found that my optics boards were faulty and causing my ice maker to not work. Not wanting to take the chance and buy an expensive part that might not actually be broken, I opted for this kit at 1/3 the price of the OEM unit. Sure enough my optics were bad and these fixed my ice maker function. Thanks for providing options. I'll post back if they were to fail prematurely, but I don't think they will.

Top Opened Dual Voltage Fridge & Freezer in Gray

Top Opened Dual Voltage Fridge & Freezer in Gray
  • Compact and portable freezing unit
  • Food & Snacks not included
  • Capable of freezing almost anything
  • Easily works off solar power and only draws a maximum of 2.5 Amps
  • Operates off 12/24V DC or 110V AC

We have been using this freezer for about 1-1/2 years. It works great. We carry it in a storage compartment on our travel trailer, wired to both 110AC and 12 volt DC. It keeps everything solidly frozen, even in 90+ F weather. The thermometer almost always says exactly 0 degrees. When not traveling we have used it for extra refrigerator space, and in the car to keep things cold while grocery shopping. It's expensive, but very well made. I recommend it to others.

Buy Top Opened Dual Voltage Fridge & Freezer in Gray Now

Once I decided to switch from thermoelectric inefficient coolers to a professional refrigeration system I found many sizes and designs. The heart of all the systems is the Danfoss compressor which is simply a 12 (and often 24V optional) compressor using environmentally friendly R134 coolant just like a home fridge would. These units all have strong cooling and even freezing capabilities like a home freezer would.

What I found is the Engel 35 is smaller and higher priced than the Portable refrigerator & freezer 12/24 V or 110 V which is slightly larger and around $200 cheaper. Both units can easily swallow 4 12 packs of drinks with room left over and both use the same refrigeration system making them friendly on your car / truck / boat's electrical system. A complete comparison of the difference in a thermoelectric cooler and a compressor based cooler is on the EdgeStar page. It explains why these cost more and can actually cool down 40+ cans from room temp rather than requiring you to pre-freeze any items going into the cooler such as the thermoelectric units do.

While both units are comparable, you get more for your money in the Edgestar 43 system. It comes down to what fits in your vehicle at this point.

I almost never review a product, but I couldn't resist when I realized that Amazon carried these refrigerators. Like others, I purchased this after getting fed up with thermoelectric coolers that either didn't keep food cold or froze it.

PROS: Excellent quality!!! Purchased mine in 2005 and have had no maintenance issues.

Not Picky about ventilation mine sits in the closet of my Peterbilt.

Metal exterior It's sturdy enough for me to use it as a step stool.

Good Capacity I'm gone 4 day at a time and it holds all the food and water i need

Great power management Can leave it on while my truck sets for 3 or 4 day without killing the batteries

CONS: Weight appx. 50 lbs. Only a problem if you need to move it often, but the durability is worth it.

Price Fairly pricey, but it has paid for itself many times over!

Watts 5YR Premier Filter 5-Year/20,000-Gallon Inline Ice Maker Water Filter

Watts 5YR Premier Filter 5-Year/20,000-Gallon Inline Ice Maker Water FilterAfter a month of use to get it broken in I believe I can share my brief experience with this filter. First off, installation was really easy. Less than 30 minutes (don't forget to 'flush' it for five minutes). The water I had previously smelled and tasted like pool water. It seemed to have a more than acceptable amount of chlorine going by smell alone. As soon as I plugged this filter in instantly odorless tasteless water came out. Also, very recently some maintenance was done to the city pipes turning all the water in the house brown for a short while. Sinks, toilets, hose, everything that is except the fridge attached to this filter was clearly brown. Hands down side by side comparison this filter does an awesome job. If you want a better sense of security and want to remove the nasties that end up in your water get this filter.

I buy these for 29.99 at home depot, the exact same model. We have some 500lb/day commercial ice makers, they get to be a real mess when the water isn't filtered, these filters do the job cheaply and last for a fair amount of time, for us we replace every year, but they REALLY get used. I have never seen black stuff come out of them, I just install one and run a 30min clean cycle on the ice machine and have never seen black specs in the ice. (The 30 min clean cycle dumps about 5 gallons of water, before making ice).

Pro: cheap, works well, again cheap

Cons: has to be unscrewed to replace and water must be turned off, where as some more expensive have 1/4 turn replacement filters.

This is my second filter. The first one was purchased around four years ago for the ice and water dispensor on the fridge. We use this quite a bit so we didn't get the full 5 Years but I'm almost certain we used more than 20,000 gallons.

The filter removes odors better than any other filters I've tried in the past and improves tastes also. I'm on city water supply thats been treated.

If your tired of changing filters every 3-6 months I urge you to try one of these.

We've been buying this filter for many years for our ice maker on the refrigerator. Yes, it says 5 years, but we never expected that and usually replaced it every year. We follow the instructions for running water through it and are used to the shot of black water (from the charcoal) that comes out first. This year, after running more water through it than ever before, we continued to have small particles in the water. These were not air bubbles as they continued to swirl in the water glass. I made a special rig to hook it up directly to an outside hose bib (so we didn't have to use the 'bucket brigade' and ran water through it continuously for 20 minutes. We continued to have the particles.

We removed the filter and connected our city water directly to the refrigerator and the particles were gone. We won't be buying this filter again. Amazon was very nice about the return and we will continue to purchase through them.

Supco RCO810 Hard Start Kit

Supco RCO810 Hard Start KitMy small freezer was not working and the compressor appeared to be OK. Using this item to replace the suspect start capacitor, overload, and start relay worked well, was easy to install, and reduced the possibility I was replacing the wrong component. The freezer is now running well for over a month. I would recommend this, so long as you know the size of the compressor to match it to the proper kit.

The only disadvantage is there is no good way to mount the kit, which isn't a significant problem.

Whirlpool 2260518B Water Filter Cap for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 2260518B Water Filter Cap for RefrigeratorHavne't bought this but I have used it. One came with my fridge and I lost it. I saw it here when buying a filter and thought "Hey, great, I'll pick one up". Then I see they're charging $22 for a piece of plastic! Guys, charge me a fair price of $4.99 and I'll buy it. Try to rip me off for $22 and I'll just go without. Who thinks of these ridiculous prices?

I tried buying locally and it cost 1/4th as much . . . and was the wrong part! The parts person said this part isnt even listed as compatible with my fridge. But even with shipping, this part is cheaper here than it was at the local parts shop. I cant figure out why this chunk of plastic costs so much. But it works without the cap, I couldnt get the filter in all the way and my kids and I can all taste the difference. Oh, it also shipped so quickly that it was faster to get it from Amazon than it was to order from the local parts shop which is 5 miles from my husband's work and wait for him to find time to run and get it.

Avanti 18 Bottle Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler W/Glass Door / Stainless Steel Handle

Avanti 18 Bottle Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler W/Glass Door / Stainless Steel Handle
  • Glass Door
  • dual zone
  • electronic controls
  • digital display
  • vibration free

I didn't bother with the door handle. It looked like it would come off too easily. But it opens just fine by grabbing the top. Where I have this, it actually works better to not have the handle.

While it was getting to temperature the fans were noisy, but it is now quiet. I actually had to read the instructions for how to set the temperature so it's not quite as intuitive as I like, but heh, I guess 3 minutes to absorb up from down is not too bad.

I love having wine at the perfect temperature. No more too cold white or too warm red. I buy wines to consume, not to preserve, so this works just right for me. I was happy to find a wine cooler just the right size for the space I wanted it in.

The back of the unit makes some of the spaces shorter. I have smaller desert bottles in those spaces. You just have to experiment with what fits where. Too bad champagne bottles don't fit, but I knew that going in.

I highly recommend this cooler for the casual consumer of wine.

Buy Avanti 18 Bottle Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler W/Glass Door / Stainless Steel Handle Now

I had been looking for a wine fridge for awhile. I had two specific requirements, it had to have dual temperature zones and fit at least a case of wine. This one was perfect. I have had it for two months now and it has held its temperature perfectly. It's really quiet and fits pretty much any size bottle, except magnums. The only complaint I have is the digital numbers on the front illuminate my living room when all the lights are off. I would defintley recommend this fridge, especially for a first one.

Unfortunately this is only an average Wine Cooler. The main reason is how quickly it changes fan speed. If it was more gradual it would be less noticable and not as annoying. As it is the change is drastic and each time it happens you will take notice.

Only recommended if you are going to keep it in a room which no one uses on a day to day basis.

It also cannot accomodate all my wines in the "correct" position and I have to put them on a diagonal taking 3 places instead of one.

Not the quietest fridge but I don't have it where it bothers me. The only thing that would be better is if the duel zones were switched as the top is the section that gets the coldest so I can only put 6 whites in which I drink more of then the red. (Oh well, I have to fill it more often!) But that wasn't noted in the write-up of the product. The tall white 'Riesling' bottles also don't fit!

Works just like the Kenmore filter in our Kenmore fridge except that we paid almost half of on Amazon than it would cost to buy it at Sears.

Water tastes great, and the new filter improved water flow.

THIS FILTER IS CHEAPTER THAN THE KENMORE FILTER I WAS PURCHASING BY HALF THE PRICE. I PURCHASED THIS FOR $26 AND I WAS SPENDING OVER $40 FOR THE KENMORE THAT IS THE SAME FILTER. GREAT PRODUCT.

Great transaction. I saw what I needed, bought it (for about 20% cheaper than Lowes) and it came quickly. What's to lose?

My old filter started leaking and the repairman wanted 40 dollars for a new one. I found the same filter on amazon.com for $29.95 and free shipping, that is alot of of savings. Fixed my water leak. Thanks Amazon.com.

Let me start off by saying I hate the taste of municipal water. The chlorine and other tastes make in virtually undrinkable. That's where this filter comes in.

For me, the bad news is that I can't stand forking voer $40 to Sears for the privelige of screwing one of these into the filter port of my refrigerator. In my area, these filters are for some reason difficult to find in Big Box stores. I am not sure why. I have taken a chance before on no-name, unbranded filters from the internet and had good results. However, when I saw these OEM filters at a competitive price, I jumped and have not been disappointed. The water that is filtered through them tastes good (no chlorine or mineral tastes) and there are no leaks--they do precisely what inline water filters are supposed to do.

Buy the filters, be happy, and drink lots of water.

Sunpentown WC-1271 ThermoElectric 12-Bottle Slim Wine Cooler

Sunpentown WC-1271 ThermoElectric 12-Bottle Slim Wine Cooler
  • 12-bottle slim wine cooler with thermoelectric technology
  • Touch-sensitive control panel and LED display; adjustable thermostat
  • Double-pane glass door; 5 slide-out chrome shelves; soft interior lighting
  • Freestanding; quiet operation; leveling legs for balance; ETL-approved
  • Measures 19-1/2 by 10-1/4 by 25-3/5 inches; 1-year limited warranty

Seems like a great product and value. However, they made the shelves too close together. It does hold the smallest bottles of wine, but many "Standard" bottles (Dancing Bull, Rancho Zabbaco, etc) don't fit unless they are jammed in and then you can't get them back out without unloading the whole thing. Don't waste your time and get a model that is more versatile. As if insult to injury, the thermostat didn't work either but that was probably a fluke.

I bought this wine cooler after reading some good reviews. It was a complete waste of time and money, the wine cooler worked for about 4 hours and then this uncontrolled beeping noise would continueoulsy play. I unplugged the unit and tried resetting it but the noise was still there when I plugged it back in. I called the company and all they said was it might be the control board. How does a wine cooler die after 4 hours.

My boyfriend bought this wine refrigerator for me as a birthday gift on a total whim. It was a fantastic, unexpected present and has so far worked perfectly for me. I've never owned a wine cooler previous to this one, but I do live in a smaller apartment, so it's compact size is exactly what I needed. As another review stated, the shelves are kind of close together preventing the BIGGER wine bottles from fitting side-by-side, however all standard wine bottles will fit. I tend to buy the larger bottles of Barefoot Moscato, in which case I simply remove one shelf for the time being. Personally, I'm not at the point where I've collected dozens of wines and will RARELY have more than 12 bottles at one time to fill this fridge anyway. All in all, it's a fantastic product that chills wines perfectly and fits just about anywhere. :)

We just received our wine cooler, but can't get the temperature to stay at the coolest setting. Any advice? It did not come with an instruction manual.

I had this wine cooler for about 6 months before the temperature control stopped working and would not go below 68 degrees. I thought maybe the room was too warm, so I refrigerated a few bottles to see if it would at least maintain the current temperature, but within a few hours, those bottles were warm as well.

I tried contacting Amazon, who pointed me in the direction of the manufacturer, who of course, did not bother responding.

I am very disappointed and do not recommend this product. I will never purchase from this manufacturer again.

I gave it 2 stars because it was relatively quiet and compact.

Samsung DA29-00003 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Certified Green, Made in North America

Samsung DA29-00003 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Certified Green, Made in North America 3 PackI have had to replace my Samsung filters every 3 months. This has become very costly. I came across this alternative, and, based on the reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. Plus, it came with a guarantee. Initially, as with any filter, you have to prime it first by running 2-3 gallons of water through it. Which I did. The water tasted good -equally as good as with the Samsung filter. The instructions say, however, that if the water dispenser isn't used for 4 days, you may have to repeat that process. Wrong. It is more like very 2-4 hours! If not, the water tastes like it is coming from a dirty hose. Of course, I could run another gallon of water through it every few hours, which I have done and the water tasted fine again, but who wants to do that every time they want a drink of water? Plus, the money I saved on the filter would be going toward my monthly water bill! No thanks. So much for water conservation. I'd be better off getting water from my faucet. I will be returning these filters.
