34 Bottle Silhouette Select Built-In Wine Cooler

• Built-in wide cellar with 34 bottle capacity
• All black interior emulates the traditional wine cellar
• The temperature range can be set between 39F-64F (4C-18C)
• Frost free, fan forced cooling system
• White LED track lighting beautifully illuminates the interior

I read reviews on this wine cooler from several sites and some mentioned noise was a problem. I have not found this to be an issue. It cooled down immediately and does not seem to run that often. Definitely not as noisy as my side by side Kenmore fridge directly across from it.

Size and reversible doors were the reason I selected this fridge and it definitely fit those criteria on arrival.

I have only it had it for a week or two, but so far, my only criticism would be that the pull out drawers don't seem very sturdy, however for the price I can't complain. The storage design for the maximum bottles is ingenious.

Wish my space would have allowed for a dual zone model, but this definitely cools the whites just fine.

Pros:

Looks great. Interior lighting is well done. Reversible door was a must for me. Seems sturdy with a nice solid handle.

Cons:

Very noisy much louder than my refrigerator which is right next to it. I don't recommend it if you have a "great room" like we do. It echos off the wood floors and can hear it upstairs even! The other thing it is doing is some strange cycling every few seconds, not the full compressor coming on but the fan or something like that. Since it was purchased as part of a remodel and the installation was delayed beyond when I could return, I'm totally stuck with it which is a bummer.

SquareTrade 3-Year Appliance Protection Plan ($200-250)

Best extended warranty I have used. I bought this for my second dishwasher, as well as my first and my laptop. Claims process is very easy. It is the only extended warranty I use.

Easy to work with these guys. They provide very quick replacement or payment. I would get their protection for all appliances made in China and most made in the USA.

Vinotemp VT-12TEDS-2Z Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler, 12-Bottle

• Two separate temperature zones for red and white wines
• Thermoelectric technology prevents wine vibration and is energy efficient
• Black cabinet with stainless steel door and dual-paned glass windows
• Approximate Bottle Capacity: 12
• 4-Wood shelves

I purchased my unit 8 months ago. The upper zone stopped working. Customer service said I needed a part for $35 but it is back ordered and would be shipped in 45 days.

Now the entire unit has stopped working. They tell me the main circuit board has failed and they will ship to me with the other part.

The unit is a piece of junk and the customer service department is not helpful. Avoid this product/unit and company.

UPDATE:

I received the replacement part. Their installation instructions said you need a voltometer and a saldering iron. Puleeze. I took the entire unit and their replacement parts and put them in the dumpster.

We had this unit less than a year before the control board failed. The best Vinotemp will do is sell us a new control board for $35. Of course you'll be replacing their notoriously unreliable control board with yet another notoriously unreliable control board, so who knows how long it will be before you're fridge stops working again. I'm just going to try to sell this piece of junk for what I can get and move on to another manufacturer.

They removed all the bad reviews for this unit, including one I already wrote last summer.

So much for Amazon's integrity. This is the worst piece of junk we have ever received. Given as a gift in May, 2009, the unit's cooling board failed after approx 6 weeks. The customer service failed continually. The shelves were warped and did not fit. The replacement unit arrived in September. No instructions, then instructions that were written in Chinese English. It would take a professional electrician to install but they want me to do that. I might try, and get shocked and at least make some money in the lawsuit.

They may make good expensive units, but Vinotemp ought to be ashamed of selling junk like this.

Want Vinotemp VT-12TEDS-2Z Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler, 12-Bottle Discount?

I purchased this product in the fall of 2008 and gave it a good rating then. Unit worked fine for 1 year. Then the zones started to have difficulty maintaining temperatures. If preset temp was 60 it would often run 10 degrees lower. Not good for my reds.

Then after 2 years it stopped working completely. Not sure about other Vinotemp products, but I cannot recommend this model to anyone.

Customer service says I have to replace both circuit boards! After 2 year? That costs $90 and you have to install and solder yourself that's crazy. Going to Wine Enthusiast and order a more reliable unit.

The unit looks great but unfortunately it is a huge disappointment since it failed in less than three months. The worst part of this is that the customer service is horrible so it appears that my unit will never be repaired. I have been told that the replacement board will be in within a week or two for over three months and I still don't have the part. I should have done more research on this company before buying this wine cooler since this seems to be the norm for this unit along with the company's poor customer service. I would stay away from anything that this company sells based on my own experience with this wine cooler as well as reviewer's similar experiences.

Nostalgia Electrics RIC-100 Retro Series Automatic Ice Maker, Red

• Countertop appliance makes up to 26 pounds of ice per day
• Portable, retro styling; holds up to a gallon of water at a time
• Produces first batch in 6 to 15 minutes; drops 9 cubes per cycle
• Choose from 3 different cube sizes; ice scooper included
• Measures 11-1/2 by 11-4/5 by 14-1/4 inches; 90-day limited warranty

First let me say that I loved this ice maker. It was the only source of ice in my home and I used it several times a week over the last 10 months. Around the holidays and in the summer it was used almost daily. It was loud as some other reviewers indicated, but something you can get used to. It made the amount of ice as described in the online descriptions. The color attracted me to this unit, as well as the price. It was cheaper than some of the other units I had been reviewing for purchase. This machine was exactly what I expected.

Recently, it stopped working. The unit won't power on consistently. When it finally does power on, the ice tray is malfunctioning due to a crack running up the side. I contacted the manufacturer, but because it was out of the 90 or 180 day warranty period there was nothing they could do except to recommend a local appliance repair shop. I don't recommend this model or this manufacturer. The manufacturers' user guide for this ice maker touts this as an ice maker to last for years of use. Well, that has not been my experience. I think the price of this unit is too much to spend for something that breaks in less than a year.

Seems that many of us had common problems.

I had this machine for less then a year and it stopped working, the ice tray broke and the motor will not turn on. The manufacturer will not do anything because it was out of warranty. They would not even do anything else to help me. I feel that this product is not worth the money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

I've used this ice maker every day for most of 2 years. I know its out of warranty, but when an ice cube got stuck under the tray, it cracked up the side. I'm willing to buy a new ice tray, but can't get any help to do so. I'm getting told that there are no parts available for it. So because a 2 dollar plastic part broke, I'm out $200. Up till now, I've had no problems with this ice maker, but if you need help later on, don't expect much. My initial review was 1 star, but it should be 4 stars for product and 1 star for product/customer service. What good is any product without some kind of customer service? Your not going to buy a car if the tires that come on it are not replaceable and when worn out, you have to buy another car, are you? $20,000 or $200. It does not matter.

I've been through two so far and neither has worked brand new out-of-the-box! Since I'm sick of returning them (and Sears only had a couple left on their shelves), I spoke to "Al" in customer service at The Helman Group, Ltd in Oxnard, CA. He said to bring it back to Sears for a refund (not a replacement) because there were a lot of problems with them and the line was discontinued for that reason.

While I appreciate his honesty, it's obvious that there was a design or production problem but, since they'd already been sold to the retailer, it wasn't Helman's problem! Great!

Worked fairly consistently for about 10 months. Then quit (seems to be a common thread with others reviews). Product appears to have been discontinued and the company has offered no support. Don't buy it. There are more reliable units out there for less.

Danby DCR122WDD Energy Star 4.3 Cu. Ft. Designer Compact Refrigerator - White

• Energy Star 4.3 cu.ft. capacity refrigerator with independent freezer section
• Manual push button defrost
• 2 full shelves and 1 half shelf for maximum storage versatility, tall bottle storage and CanStor beverage dispensing system
• Reversible door hinge for right or left hand opening and integrated door handle
• Smooth-back design for flush fit against walls

I was getting pretty tired of my food disappearing from the refrigerator my roommates and I shared, so after much research, I purchased this one for my room. I couldn't be happier with it. Plenty of self space, very quiet, and because it's an energy star appliance, the electric bill is only something like $30.00/yr. This is a big "small refrigerator", and includes a small but usable freezer.

I would recommend this to anyone as a great buy.

Select DA29-0003G Samsung and Whirlpool Compatible Refrigerator Water Filter

• The Replacement Filter fits all refrigerators that use the Samsung Aqua-Pure Plus DA29-00003B water filter.
• Retains the flouride in drinking water. Filters out chlorine, turbidity, sediment, dirt, and rust

We ordered this because of the price (compared to Samsung's direct prices). But, the water did not taste good with this filter, unlike with the Samsung filter, which had excellent taste. So, I went back to ordering the real deal.

• Thermoelectric technology features few moving parts for quiet & vibration free operation, enhancing the natural flavors of your wine

• Allows for nearly silent operation that wont disturb quiet spaces in your home

This is the second wine cellar I have purchased in the last 3 years and I researched this for a week. The last wine cellar I had was a bust from Oster, a great Black Friday deal but stopped working after 6 months. My experience was that it took several hours to cool down and it was realy picky about the ambient temperature. Just a little dust on the back cover sent the internal temp upward and really, all I wanted was chilled wine!!! After all my research, I kept coming back to this model. This has the "look" I wanted for my kitchen but I had never owned a product by this company. I did read the other reviews regarding the humming sound it makes but in my position my previous wine cellar sounded like a jet taking off each time you opened the door to get out a bottle of wine and it had to kick in to lower the internal temp again.

When I first unpacked the NewAir cellar, my first thought was wow, this is beautiful!! I got it set in it's new home by the wet bar and plugged it in. Gorgeous!! The temperature starting out showed 74 degrees and it was automatically set to go down to 54 degrees. And it got to 54 degrees....in 30 minutes!!!! I was shocked!! So by that time, I loaded about 10 bottles of wine into the cellar. It took about 1 1/2 hours total to chill all that wine that had been at room temperature. I am very impressed with this machine. As for the humming sound, I have yet to hear it. I know it is working because the wine is cold, but not sure what the other reviewer were describing...maybe my kitchen is just noisy!!hahaahaha

Anyway, I would not hesitate to recommend this cellar and will follow up in a few months with an additional review.

09/14/10 UPDATE:

As promised, I wanted to give an update on the New Air Wine Cooler. It is still as great as when I first got it. Because it is thermoelectric, dust does affect the temperature and I noticed that when we were finishing our kitchen remodel, all the dust from sawing wood and drywall did cause the temp to raise a few degrees. I just blew out the back and within 30 seconds the temp started to drop back to 52. Now when I see the temp go up to 53 or 54 I know it is time to blow out the back cover. I would say I do that once every 3 months and for the record, I feel like our house has an inordinate amount of dust year round so in a house with less dust this may not even be needed. I am still very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.

I've only had this wine fridge for a short time, so I can't comment on its reliability (our last one which we purchased at Lowes lasted about 6 months). It looks good, is a convenient, compact size and seems to work well. But there's no way you can fit 18 bottles in it unless they're slim such as the standard Bordeaux and Alsace shapes. The chubbier Burgundy size and anything larger just won't fit. The only way to get them in is to remove every second rack and make sure you lie slim and chubby bottles side by side. Makes it closer to a 10-12 bottle fridge.

I bought this just over a year ago woke up one morning and it wasn't working no cool air, no led display. No reset button, no apparent way to fix it, other than trying to replace the circuit board in back of the unit. I called the retailer who I bought it from (through Amazon) and they said since the warranty is up, they would do nothing and recommended calling a local repairman.

Even when it was working, I had the unit set at 59 degrees and it never went lower than 63, even when I had my home's AC turned down the lower 70's.

I guess you get what you pay for I'll be spending more on my next one, and it won't be a Newair.

I purchased this wine cooler about 8 months ago. I have seen the cooler not cool to the correct temperature on hot days, I live in Florida so there are a lot of them. I could have lived with this quirk. But a week ago it just stopped working(no cooling, no led display, nothing). I can see that the power supply inside the backpanel is flashing red and green leds, and makes a switching noise. I will not buy from NewAir again because this product is susceptible to breaking within 8 months of use.

We ordered this unit to replace our Magic Chef 12 bottle wine cooler. We wanted a unit that was larger and quieter. The AW-180E NewAir 18 is an attractive and stylish unit, and will look nice in any kitchen or dining room. It was easy to set-up (only the door handle needed to be attached). We were able to place 18 different size bottles of red and white wines inside it without any problem. The controls are simple and easy to operate, and the unit temperature (we set it at 60°F) was reached in a matter of hours and readily maintained. The blue interior light is a nice touch, too. My only reason for not giving it a Five Star rating is that, although quieter than the unit we replaced, it seems to runs continuously (i.e. does not cycle on and off) and therefore you will hear a continuous hum in a silent room. You will not hear it if other backgound noice is present like a TV or stereo. But, in a silent setting you will hear it. To be sure, perhaps a certain amount of noise is to be expected from any cooler. That said, the unit is not "silent."

PUR W10186667 Push-Button Refrigerator Water Filter

It seems there are a LOT of misuderstandings in these reviews. If you own a Sears refridgerator it IS a Whirlpool, or Kitchen Aid, or whatever else with a "Kenmore" name plate on it. Sears doesn't make their appliances and they purchase appliance from varios companys and put their "Kenmore" brand on it. I have a Whirlpool fridge, Whirlpool dishwaher, and GE microwave. They all say Kenmore and the stainless stell matches perfectly. A Sears sales rep will tell you who makes the specific unit. This is true for Kenmore washers & dryers as well, all appliance. Secondly, Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, Kenmore, etc. do not make the filters. Sears, Whirlpool, etc. sell the filter with their markings on it. PUR make the filter. This is not a cheaper replacement for the filter, it is the same filter. I have been using PUR filters bought on-line for 5 years now and it is the same filter that came in the refridgerator when I bought it. The only thing to keep in mind is that the "universal PUR Filter", that fits all push button, in the grill units, does not have the same filtration as the the specific PUR filter that comes with the fridge. For example the "Universal" filter is about $26 on Amazon and my fridge came with a PUR 4396710 which cost about $32 on Amazon. Both will work, but the $32 unit filters out about 11 types of impurities, the $26 unit is 4 types. I buy the 4396710 to protect my 2 year old and wife. What is $7 more when it's your family's health. They are about $50 each at Sears.

I hope this information helps clear up some misconceptions and helps people make an educated decision on what to buy.

If you go to PUR's website, you'll find that this filter handles only 4 problem areas: (chlorine, sediment, lead, o-dichlorobenzene).

The more expensive #4396710 Kitchenaid/Whirlpool deals with 11 problem areas (the side of the box lists all these in detail: (chlorine, particulates, lead, mercury, benzene, o-dichlorobenzene, toxaphene, asbestos, cysts, turbidity, atrazine).

The strange thing is that the PUR website only seems to show the cheaper filter and its attendant 4 areas of filtering. It may just be my ineptness, but I couldn't find the other better filter on their website.

My wife, wanting the best water, always opts for the more expensive filter. It's around $60 in local area markets. I just ordered one from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for $35 delivered; other internet dealers carry it for around the same price.

First time changing filter. Not sure if all do this, but when i changed, we had extremely high pressure. Im guessing it was acting like there wasnt a filter in at all. Caused water to keep flowing a bit (without pressing).

After that strangeness, took about 6 pitchers to get airbubbles out of filter, etc.

Kenmore and Whirlpool are the samer thing more or less. Works fine now its been in use.

Definately cheaper than getting the kenmore one

This one is indeed the correct size/fit; and, as others have mentioned, is much cheaper than getting the one with the Kenmore brand stamped on it. Buy with confidence!
