Electrolux 27 In. Stainless Steel Double Electric Wall Oven - EW27EW65GS

Electrolux 27 In. Stainless Steel Double Electric Wall Oven - EW27EW65GS
  • Up To 9 Lbs. Of Bullet Shaped Ice In 24 Hours
  • Offers Flexibility In Temperature From 28 To 42F
  • Removable, Spill-proof All-glass Shelves
  • Dimensions (WHD) 35 5/8 X 69 1/2 X 45 7/8 In.

UPDATE: As of 8/11, I would rate this unit at 1 Star (Can't change on edit function of review)

Original refrigerator was just replaced with the newly designed icemaker model due to the issues with the original icemaker. Electrolux has been good, but this refrigerator's icemaker has really been a huge problem. I would look for other lines before Electrolux, at least until they can improve thier designs and engineering.

Original review with some edits:

We have been on a journey to find a great, stylish and functional counter depth refrigerator. We are replacing a perfectly fine Kitchen Aid side by side that we put in a second home. First, we chose a Samsung side by side, but were not satisfied with it's refrigerator temperature. We set it at 34, but it never seemed cold enough. Milk was never "ice cold" as we were accustomed to. We started monitoring the temperatures, and it was typically around 38-43 degrees. Samsung was unable to remedy this issue, even after sending out a new replacement. Then we chose a GE Profile model, but it was a similar scenario, with wide temperature swings between the setting of 34, and 44 degrees, so a return of the GE was in order after service was unable to remedy it's large temperature swings.

Now, onto the Electrolux. This was a favorite from the start when we were shopping, but we were scared off by some reviews. We decided to go for it anyway, and are pleased with that decision, so far. However, the first one delivered did not cool at all. A service tech was dispatched immediately, and he found that there was a broken line from the compressor, due to damage in shipping, no fault of the unit, and all the refrigerant had escaped. The dealer brought the GE back until another Electrolux could be ordered and delivered.

Upon recieving the second Electrolux, it is performing nicely. Internal temperature is as stated on the Wave Touch Panel at 34 and -4 degrees for the freezer (which, by the way, you can set to show the refrigerator and freezer temps at all times). The units appearance is of good quality, being stainless steel on all sides, sturdy handles, and a modern appearance with Wave Touch Controls, which are easy to use. The doors are simple to align or adjust if needed.

The interior of this unit is 22.6 cu/ft, so as counter depth goes, it is decent. With edgeless glass shelves, ball bearing glides on all drawers, a large temperature controlled drawer with digital programmed settings, 2 good sized slide out bins, and exceptionaly well done LED lighting, this unit's interior is impressive.

We especially like the temperature controlled drawer, which can be adjusted from 28 to 40+ degrees. The drawer is large enough for party platters, and can keep fresh meats at near freezing, or beer can be kept at a very nice 28 degrees, or wines at a favorite selected temperature. The ice maker does take up a fair amount of space, but for ice and water in the door, it is a worth while sacrifice.

The icemaker has had some negative reviews, but so far ours is fine. The cubes are rounded, with a divit. I'm not sure why this is considered "Drink Friendly", but they are nice. One issue is that the cubes seem to come out with some vengence. However, by simply putting your glass or ice bucket close to the dispensing chute...problem solved. We have seen no melted ice puddles in the catch basin. Water dispensing is simple, and functional. We have only had this unit for a few days, so I can't comment on ice production quantity, but it is supposed to be better than most, per Electrolux specifications.

The freezer has 2 deep slide out bins, and 1 shallow one, with dividers and smooth ball bearing slides. One of our wire dividers does not stay in place, but that is no big issue at all. Space is good, and well utilized. Lighting in the freezer is excellent.

If I listen closely, I can hear the unit running, but sound is not obtrusive or noticably louder than any of the other units we have had recently. I would say it is quiet.

Pros: Operates at accurate temperatures set, huge slide out temperature controlled drawer, Exceptionally well done LED lighting and appearance, Wave Touch Controlls, functional use of space. Looks and feels high quality. We finally have really cold milk again.

Cons: High end of price scale, Ice maker takes up some refrigerator space, and some door storage.

Buy Electrolux 27 In. Stainless Steel Double Electric Wall Oven - EW27EW65GS Now

We've had the refrigerator for several months. Tech guys have already been called out 3 times for the same issue.... ice continues to drip from the ice maker-tray right down into the water/ice dispenser causing a continuous puddle of water on the "catch" tray.

This problem does NOT go away even through twice they've changed the entire ice making mechanism. It appears that the ice doesn't maintain its temperature properly in the upper refrigerator portion of the unit, causing it to stick together and constantly form a drip. Besides this..... this beautiful frig makes enough ice for 2! We are a family of 5. At dinner time, we can never seem to get enough ice to fill our cups half way with ice (even if ice hasn't been used all day). Ice compartment is too small. FORGET having guests over..... I've been serving warm drinks after the 4th person!

Besides this, It's beautiful and specious. I wish it would work for us....but these small negatives are truly outweighing the positive. Thinking about getting a side by side and avoiding this french door dilemma.

We bought an entire new kitchen plus Washer and Dryer of Electrolux appliances (June 2010) and are at the point of returning several.

re: counter depth french door wave touch refrig..

Today I am calling for third service due to no ice. First time, they replaced control panel with "newer" software panel (think it was version 8.0). Along with that, added a "chute" extension so that ice would not go flying all over the floor. Said there was nothing to do to fix the issue of warm water from the dispenser. Second repair was again to upgrade the control panel software version (now 8.1) as the icemaker just stopped producing, then started again 2 days later and took 3 days to fill up the measly container. Three days ago, it stopped again and was dripping water which overflowed to the floor. 24 hours later, we decided to try to just shut off the power and "reboot" it. 4 hours later, it started producing again. Another issue is that the cube ice option produces 2/3 crushed ice and 1/3 cubes.

As for design, the only place to put a gallon of milk is on the left side shelf and then you have to remove a shelf.

The only kitchen appliance that we have not had a problem with is the dishwasher. Our drop-down door microwave had to be replaced 1 week after installed. Our induction range has design flaws that prevent it from being installed correctly. They have sent three that are all the same way. Electrolux blamed it on the delivery people first until we asked them the third time to not open the box until it came to our home and we all opened it together and took pictures. Electrolux has been a nightmare!!!

(our repair vendor company has been great though)

I did some serious research before purchasing this refrigerator. Mandatory was counter depth with ice on the door, not just water. The G.E. Profile counter depth does not offer this, only the full size 25 cubic foot models. I didn't want to have to open the freezer drawer just to get a few ice cubes. Many reviews complain about the ice maker in the upper refrigerator where it drips water. A well founded complaint. Electrolux was made aware of this problem and they have a retro-fix made available to their dealers to fix this. I addressed this issue prior to my purchase and it was corrected. The ice is cold and it does not drip. Putting the ice maker in the upper refrigerator does take up some valuable space. It's just enough room for my wife and I but for a family of four it would never work, it's just too small. This is a high-end refrigerator with all the bells & whistles. It is well built, quiet and real eye candy when placed in a upgraded kitchen. You will not be disappointed or regret this purchase. Keep in mind that you can purchase the 25 cubic foot model for almost $500.00 less. If you have the space this is the better way to go. Shop around. There are many deals available on this refrigerator.

DO NOT buy this refrigerator you will be SORRY! Mine is 14 months old and repairman has been out 15 times to fix the ice maker and it still will not make A CUBE OF ICE! It has worked some , on and off for the first year I had it, but no ice after 12 months . And it only makes enough ice for 3 glasses. So if you have a family of 4 5 , you will have to buy Ice. I found that out for Thanksgiving, when after I filled 3 glasses it was EMPTY! So had to send a family member to BUY bags of ice real fast!!! Also they get you with having to purchase air and water filters every so often. I agree with the water filter but the air filter to me is another gimmick for them to get more money! And they are NOT CHEAP!

The service man has been out 15 times to work on the ice maker. He has replaced the entire thing 3 times in 1 year. I figured I had better buy the $488 3 yr warranty because I knew it was going to be trouble. Electrolux offer me a GENERAOUS "NOT" 60% of the $3400 I paid, toward another one. Mine was only a few months old and I was only going to get 60% of it. They would NOT even stand behind their pile of junk for a year! We continued to negotiate and they finally offered me a new one, but wouldn't let me transfer the $488 warranty I just bought to the new one. SO I said no. Finally they agreed for 2 yrs full warranty instead of 3 yrs. It has been a month and I have not heard a word from them after their promise of a new one for me. I have called twice in the last 2 weeks leaving messages to please let me know what is going on and they will not return my call. So now I am sure they were blowing Smoke up my rear end.

I am just saying, save yourself a lot of time, money and heartache and FIND ANYTHING else out there, but I strongly suggest staying away from Electrolux products. Also I was very skeptical about having an ice maker in the refrigerator part. I questioned the salesman and everyone on that. I just didn't see the work-a-bility of that! And now I know my common sense was RIGHT ON THE MARK! I will never buy another refrigerator with the ice maker in the refridge part!~ I will stick to only ice makers in the FREEZER part! Either TOP Bottom or Side by side "Freezer part. I suggest that highly when looking for refrigerators. And my repairman that has been out here 15 times said he would never recommend ice makers in the refrigerator part because he hasn't found many that work for very long.

Bosch 9000194412 Ultra Clarity Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack

Bosch 9000194412 Ultra Clarity Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-PackProduct arrived much faster than estimated. Good. It was easy to instal. Good. Heck, its only a water filter, what else is there to say except that it is very expensive and at 2 per year negates any savings I would make from my energy efficient appliance. Not so good.

I have been ordering these on Amazon for a couple of years now for a Bosch Linea 300 Series Counter Depth Side by Side Refrigerator that was purchased at Sears in 2009. Delivered fast every time. It fits perfect as a direct OEM replacement as well. Amazon is the cheapest place to order. I have also never had any shipping or fit issues. Good product!

Maytag MFF2558VEM 24.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star

Maytag MFF2558VEM 24.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy StarI love this refrigerator. I have owned it for a year and a half (with no problems). Below is my opinion based on each feature:

1. French Doors. I love them. THe left door has a flap that sort of flattens out as you close the door to seal against the right door. Because of the little flap, the right crisper drawer does not pull all the way out if the left door is closed. Alternatively, you CAN keep the right door closed and pull the left crisper drawer all the way out. Anyhow I usually end up opening both doors when i go to the fridge, so it will take 2 hands, but i still love the french door look.

2. Inside water dispenser. Love that too. THe only bad design is the button to get the water is a few inches above the actual dispenser. it is difficult for me to get a glass of water with one hand; i usually hold the glass with one hand and press the button with the other. But i do like this design much better than the 'outside of the door' water dispenser; i think this fridge has a cleaner look. I didn't even notice the inside water dispenser at first, it takes up VERY LITTLE room which is great!

3. Drawer freezer. I like it enough for what I have (bachelorette food like hot pockets and lean cuisines). I expected it to hold a bit more than it really does. I do like the fact that it's wire baskets that hold my food rather than a solid surface; sorta eliminates cleaning. THe reason i don't TOTALLY love this freezer is simply because if I had a bowl of liquid, i would have to be VERY CAREFUL to freeze it (such as an extra water bowl for my dog). Anything you want to be in the freezer will need to move/slide to get it in there i have to only fill the bowl 1/2 full of water or else it will spill when i close the freezer door.

4. Adjustable "no spill" shelves. These are great. Everything is adjustable which is perfect for me. I adjust them quite a bit actually. Also there is a small lip on each shelf so if something leaks, it won't drip down the back wall of the fridge. I like this idea. Also the shelves pull out a few inches in case you have something in the back you need to reach.

Overall this is a great fridge. It also beeps after a few minutes if you accidently don't close a door all the way. Temperature of both the fridge and freezer are displayed at the top inside of the fridge. Very easy/intiutive to adjust. Those small flaws listed above are very easy for me to live with; i would buy this refrigerator again. And, i love the stainless steel look!

Owned for six months. Worked great until starting running very hot. Stopped working all together. Under warranty, obviously, and replacement parts ordered. The replacement parts they sent me were themselves defective and had to replace the replacement parts. Long story short, Thanksgiving canceled and without a fridge for a month. Maytag, which after doing some research online, has suffered dramatically over the years in terms of quality and simply does not deserve its relatively decent reputation they still enjoy. This brand is garbage.

Buy Maytag MFF2558VEM 24.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star Now

Three month old unit. Made loud noises the evening before the freezer section quit.

After five days , an authorized Maytag technician attempted to repair the refrigerator

only to find that the specified replacement part was too large to place in the

refrigerator.

After working on the unit and talking to a number of people, he called the refrigerator

non-repairable.

He contacted Whirlpool/Maytag and ordered an entire replacement refrigerator (fingers crossed).

Thank heaven we bought an independent extended coverage policy.

By the way, Whirlpool/Maytag has a limited warranty which they were "kind" enough to

cite over the phone that says, even for brand new products, they will not cover "any

food or medicine loss due to refrigerator or freezer product failures". Which just about

says don't put more in their refrigerators than you can eat in 24 hours or so.

We purchased a Maytag refrigerator in July of 2012. It quit working in October. Maytag repairman did not have the replacement compressor that was needed. Home Depot brought us another refrigerator 10 days later. That refrigerator worked until the beginning of May 2013 (7 months later). Home Depot brought us another refrigerator 7 days later. We contacted Maytag after we received the new refrigerator and they were not willing to send us any compensation for aggravation or loss of food. Their customer service to say the least is non-responsive. We will never buy another Maytag refrigerator and we tell everyone we know not buy a Maytag refrigerator. Maytag had to know these refrigerators were defective and they should have recalled them. Home Depot Appliance manager told us there were multiple customers who had issues with these refrigerators.

They're are many manufactures of appliances and our advice would be not to buy maytag!

I was excited to try my 1st french door with bottom freezer at our new house. I was sorely disappointed by this feature--the freezer is VERY easy to leave slightly ajar without knowing it, which happens often with the kids and mother-in-law. The fridge left-side door does not always close completely even with a firm push--you will hear a noise like it is closed, but if you don't check to make sure it is closed 50% of the time it is still ajar. Freezer light socket stopped working after 6 months, not a burnt out bulb. The freezer has pool of water/ice collecting right at the 1-year mark of ownership. Ice melts every day or two and leaks out of fridge and has ruined our hardwood floor. Turned off water supply to ice maker, didn't solve issue. Seems to be an issue with the auto-defrost cycle water leaking into freezer.

If I had it to do over again I would have at a minimum gone with a unit that had an alarm to notify you when the door is left ajar--or I would have gone with a better brand that has a spring loaded mechanism to thrust the door shut every time. I also would not buy a bottom freezer model--even though the freezer is 50% bigger than our last top-freezer model due to the annoying design of the slide out drawers you lost a TON of storage space. Also, the pull out design is horrible for energy efficiency, think of it this way, you pull all the cold items out into the warm kitchen, which removes virtually all the cold air in one swoop. The Energy Star rating likely does not take this into account.

1.7 Cubic-ft Refrigerator/Freezer (Black) - HAIER

1.7 Cubic-ft Refrigerator/Freezer - HAIERTHIS IS AN AMAZING MINI FRIDGE. I OWNED A BLACK AND DECKER BEFORE AND IT GOT ITEMS KIND OF COOL, BUT THIS MINI FRIDGE ACTUALLY FREEZES ICE OR WHATEVER YOU PUT IN THE FREEZER PART AS GOOD AS A LARGER UNIT WOULD. THE OTHER PARTS OF THE REFRIGERATOR GET EXTREMELY COLD. THE THERMOSTAT GOES ALL THE WAY TO 7 WHICH IS GREAT TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OF WHAT YOU HAVE. I KEEP PROTEIN SHAKES, WATER, CRANBERRY JUICE AND SANDWICHES IN MINE AT WORK. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BRAND, BUT THE PRICE WAS RIGHT AFTER DOING COMPARISONS ON DIFFERENT SITES. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST THEIR IS AND YOU GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH FOR SURE!!

  • Temperature range: 38-50 degrees F
  • Powerful compressor-based cooling
  • Digital temperature controls
  • Includes glass shelves, black dotted glass door tint
  • Incandescent interior lighting displays beer and beverages

This product just doesn't seem to work well. For the first month or so, it was able to get down to about 38 (the lowest setting) , but now it just keeps going all the time and doesn't get below 46. On another note, Home Depot apparently sells a unit just like this for 1/2 the price. I don't usually have buyers regret, but in this case I do.

We bought this same refrigerator about five years ago. Since then we have had repeated problems with it. The doors had to be replaced once. The ice maker was replaced four times, one time when it started breaking up and mixing shards of plastic with the ice. We could have been killed.

This last time the ice maker flooded the kitchen within two hours. We called GE for repairs and the repairman came several days later. He installed a new ice maker and said everthing was fine. He turned on the water and said "All set to go." When we checked a few hours later, there was no ice, the kitchen was flooding, and sheets of water were coming down from the ceiling in our rec room. The GE repairman never turned the valve of the water line on completely, so it leaked far far worse than it ever had before. Knowing to turn water valves completely should be Repair 101. I called GE back at 3:15; the operator said she would e-mail an immediate request to the repair people in our area. A taped message contacted us some five days later. By that time we had bought a new, very different brand.

I can understand a product having problems. But when the factory authorized repairmen make the problems far, far worse, that manufacturer should be put out of business.

Water Sentinel WSS-2-3 Refrigerator Replacement Filter, 3-Pack

Water Sentinel WSS-2-3 Refrigerator Replacement Filter, 3-PackI bit the bullet and ordered this based on the part number of WSS-2-3. They ARE WSS-2 filters. See bottom of this review for WSS-2 specifications from Water Sentinel. The listing part number is correct, however the listing description is incorrect.

The description in the listing is as follows:

"From the Manufacturer

This Water Sentinel WSS-2 Replacement Water Filter for the Samsung WSF-100 contains a compressed carbon block which provides tremendous capacity to remove and/or reduce impurities and sediment that may be present in your drinking water. The carbon block has millions of active sites on its surface and within the structure which can absorb impurities like a sponge, and can adsorb and hold other types of impurities on its surface like a magnet. Additionally, this filter can catalytically breakdown other impurities very similar to the way a catalytic converter works in your automobile. These processes ensure that you are getting the cleanest and best tasting water possible. The WSS-2 filter will fit Samsung Refrigerators that use an external refrigerator water filter.

This is not a replacement for the WSF-100, nor is it for use on refrigerators that use an external water filter.

From the Water Sentinel website

"Replaces: Samsung DA29-00020A, DA29-00020B, 04609101000, 09101, 46-9101, 469101, 9101, DA-97-08006A, DA-97-08006A-B, DA-97-08006B, DA29-00019A, DA2900019A, DA2900020A, DA2900020B, DA97-08006A-B, HAF-CIN, HAF-CIN-EXP, HAF-CINEXP, HAFCIN."

I got these to replace Samsung DA29-0020A/B and they are as advertised by Water Sentinel.

Ordered on Friday evening, on my doorstep today (Monday).

I purchased these to replace DA29-00020B for a Samsung RFG297HDRS French door refrigerator. They are about 60% of the price of the Samsung equivalent. I've had the filter installed for a week and it works great. It installed easily, without leaks.

They are made in USA, unlike Samsung's which are imported. Also, they use compressed charcoal, which I believe is a better filtration method than Samsung's which is a particle filter only. Charcoal filters absorb organic impurities, so the water tastes cleaner. I can't comment on the 6 month life expectancy yet. The instructions note to run 3 gallons of water before using, or until the water runs clear, but in my case the water was clear from the start (I still ran a gallon through it).

Buy Water Sentinel WSS-2-3 Refrigerator Replacement Filter, 3-Pack Now

I have a Sam Sung model RF4287HARS and the filter works although not perfectly. As another reviewer pointed out, the diameter of this filter is slightly smaller than the original filter. Therefore the filter floats within the mounting area. The mounting end (gasket and mount) are identical so it does lock and seal perfectly. I cannot detect any difference in the taste/quality of the filtered water so if you can sacrifice perfect fit for equal performance then this one's for you.

This review is to point out an important fact: This filter ONLY removes/improves taste and odor, and removes some particulate matter (like rust or other small debris). Therefore, it is not a equal replacement for the Samsung Aqua-Pure DA29-00020B that ALSO reduces the following contaminants: 99.00pct of Asbestos 96.70pct of Benzene 97.40pct of Chlorine Taste & Odor 99.99pct of Cysts 99.30pct of Lead at pH 6.5 99.90pct of Lead at pH 8.5 98.00pct of Particulates (Class I) 99.10pct of Turbidity 94.60pct of Atrazine 99.00pct of Lindane Fluoride is not reduced.

So if your water source has been tested and is free of these contaminants (especially lead), this would in my opinion be an acceptable cost effective replacement.

Want Water Sentinel WSS-2-3 Refrigerator Replacement Filter, 3-Pack Discount?

Much cheaper than the Samsung brand but I should have been wary from the start when the filters diameter is a bit smaller than the Samsung filter. It twisted in and felt like it sealed ok but about 3 days later the freezer drawer was having issues closing. Turns out I had about half an inch of ice covering the entire bottom of the freezer cabinet that the drawer ended up scraping against. So I blamed the only thing that had changed and that was the water filter. I then remove the filter and checked the rubber gaskets, they looked fine so I put it back in carefully. I checked for leaking and did not see any.

That night at around 2am my mother in law calls upstairs saying the kitchen is flooded. Flooded might be a bit much but it soaked 3 beach towels.

I have two more filters and am debating on if I should try those with the assumption it was a bad filter. The problem is that going cheap with something that can leak is generally a bad idea. What if I went on vacation and came back to massive water damage. Even a few days would have caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage. We had a plastic quick connect break on our old fridge and that is what is cost. Good thing insurance covered it but what a pain to fix.

Do yourself a favor, if you go with these filters, keep an eye on them for a week or so. If you do go away for a while it might be a good idea to turn off the water anyways. Oh and NEVER use plastic connectors on water lines!

GE WR60X10074 Fan Motor for RefrigeratorIt's a great product, problem solved, everything is fine now frozen, also excellent seller. I just had to replace it following the instructions in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PI1blsY-Pc

This is not a genuine replacement but it did drop right in and it's been working fine thus far. The "blue" rubber boot shown in the picture is actually a beige color. The photo is also deceptive since it shows the genuine part when it's not. Again, it's working fine thus far, so I'm satisfied but I did feel a bit slighted.

I had bought my gas dryer from someone not knowing they didn't include a lint catcher. Well when I found out it didn't have one I had no idea where to start looking and so someone told me to check Amazon. So I did and I found this product. I bought it not knowing if it would fit or not but I gave it a chance. The shipping was amazingly fast and it fit perfectly inside my dryer. I only clear it out every other time I use my dryer because this item is so big it catches everything and more! Definitely glad I got it!

My dryer was still in great shape but the lint filter was shot, so this was a great deal. I got it for half what the appliance store was going to charge me and that included the shipping.

My old one was torn and I could never get all the lint off it. My dryer is better now,

Filter was packaged very poorly, no protection. Arrived bent and warped. Had to reshape it by hand. However, it does fit and it is the product that was ordered. Based on the cost savings (about 50%), it's difficult to complain about. ;^)

Echo all the shipping commentsthe lint screen arrived a bit folded over on the end farthest from the handle, in the two flat-rate box creation. I was able to straighten out the mesh and it seems to work fine now. Not the same build as the original lint screen, but it seems to work fine catching all the lint. No complaints once installed.

  • Self-locking recessed door handle; removable shelf
  • Vibrant red exterior with white Coca-Cola trademark

I needed to upgrade from the smaller 6 can cooler as the smaller fridge did not hold 1/2 liter water bottles. this is larger, not quite as cute but does take the larger bottles and cools well.

This fridge is a great value for the price. I haven't used the heating option yet, but I have no complaints on how it keeps my drinks cool. It is tall enough inside to hold 4 bottles of water upright in addition to 3 cans of soda. I ordered the fridge because I am deployed overseas w/the military and was able to get it shipped directly to an APO address. Well worth the money I spent!

Revised 11/29/10: I've owned this fridge only two months and took careful care of it, but it's already broken. The fan bearings went out (and now it will run but with this horrible loud noise). I can't return it, and it's going to cost me half the purchase price to fix it. Not sure it's worth it. Buyer beware. This thing is cute but flimsy and not built to last.

Original review, 09/10: I bought this fridge for work to keep my lunch and milk cool so I can avoid the company fridge. It's the perfect size -it holds a quart carton of milk. Right now I also have in it a small Pyrex lunch dish, half a cantaloupe, and a block of cheese -and there's room for more. It's whisper-quiet, low-key, and everything in it is very cold.

One thing to note is that mine, which I ordered through Amazon, does not look like the picture. It's more rounded, the oval on the front is a metal design that looks like a retro refrigerator, and besides a tiny Coca-Cola logo on the top, there are no others (meaning, no big logo on the side or the front). It's very cute, much more so than the picture shown here. It's lightweight and not very big for the amount of space inside. It's also worth noting that there is a small shelf on the inside of the door -very small -but big enough to put an 8 ounce block of cheese in vertically.

That said, I don't know how long it will last. Mine is running 24 hours a day. So far it's the best purchase I've made all year and the price is fantastic, especially compared to other mini fridges that aren't much bigger.

This unit stopped cooling just after a month of use. Koolatron would not respond to my emails, even though I tried to send my notes to multiple addresses. I finally got customer service on the phone. They informed me I had to pay to ship it back before they would even talk about fixing or replacing. Please do not be fooled into purchasing anything from them. They obviously face serious manufacturing and customer service challenges. Stay clear.

I am so pleased with this purchase! I received my new mini-fridge in a short timeframe and have been using it ever since. I have it in my office for water and other beverages. It easily manages .5 liter bottles and keeps them very cold. Plus it is totally quiet! I love this product!!

Beer Dispenser

Beer Dispenser
  • For Use with 5L Kegs
  • Energy-efficient thermoelectric cooling
  • Ultra-quiet operation
  • Digital display with push button operation
  • Convenient pressure gauge

I received mine in perfect condition. I love this unit, the dual-zone feature is great for storing my white and red wine! It has a great look with wood shelves and the stainless steel door & handle, and is surprisingly quiet. I would definitely recommend this product and purchasing it directly from Vinotemp. Their customer service was great and I had no problems with their shipping!

This "cooler" does not cool below 54 degrees unless we completely remove it from the cabinet. We have vented the cabinet in the back and on both sides to release the amazing amount of heat this machine gives off and still the temperature will not drop enough to chill properly while in the cabinet. We bought this one to fit in a space from a trash compactor. You must pull out each shelf to place a bottle on it, you can't just slide a bottle onto a shelf. The appearance is quite nice and goes well with our other stainless steel appliances. We're still looking for solutions to the overheating problem.

This product gives off too much heat, and the shelves are flimsy wooden shelves that fall out easily and are too close to each other so that the bottles do not fit on each shelf. I had to remove every other shelf. It also does not cool to the temperatures listed. Unfortunately the cost to return is not worth the hassle. Sigh.

Stay away from this company and their products. I bought this unit brand new just a couple of weeks ago and could not tap a keg because of a defective part. I was told that I would have to purchase the replacement part. I expressed my displeasure with their rep and that I would make sure to write a negative review and never purchase their products again and quite frankly, he could have cared less. So buyer beware when it comes to Vinotemp. I would give zero stars but unfortunately this is not an option.

The 21 bottle I got looks a little different then this one, and so far very pleased with the performance. Fits perfectly where I placed it and it holds my whites on the top and reds on the bottom zone. Very quiet! unlike my refrigerator.
