I'm not a big "white" drinker, my collection is heavy on the red side, however I wanted a smaller cooler to get the whites out of the refrigerator. Set up in minutes, cooled fairly quickly and very quiet - I've had to check a couple times just to make sure it's on. Love the look and it feels sturdy enough. It's very short - I have it next to a chair now in my kitchen and it's about the height of an arm rest. I have zero complaints or issues with it - but I've had it only 5 days. We'll see how it survives the long-haul. Not sure if it'll work for under counter as there are side vents and it might need circulation - you'd have to check that.

I bought this wine fridge on amazon because I was having a hard time finding any kind of selection in the big box stores for these. The shipping was expensive though. The bottom of mine when it was shipped seemed to be dirty like it was re-shipp'd to me from a return. It still works ok. The fridge stays pretty cool but installing the handle on the door was a pain. You have to take out the edge rubber insulation on the door to screw it in. The big drawback is that it has a cool blue led light and temp change knob but it is in the inside back of the fridge. so you hvae to take out a wine bottle to reach it an usually I would like the controls on the door and only turn on the light (so it doesn't burn out) when I want something. Other than that it is a very quiet efficient product.

This wine cooler should be avoided. I bought one last summer and it died after 6 months. It is the second brand of wine cooler that I have owned (Oster was the other one and that died also) and I guess I could try to get the manufacturer to give me a new one but that would probably die in 6 months too so why bother? For some reason, it is really hard to find a cooler that lasts over a year for under $500 which is ridiculous. Also, this cooler does not have a temp. guage which I think is a "must have" in any cooler. My advice to anyone buying a lower end cooler is to get an extended warranty of at least 2 years.

This cooler was acquired to replace a similar model that quit after several years of use. The styling is nice as the silver door is preferable to the otherwise boring black that is commonly offered in these coolers. Quiet operation and wine bottles fit correctly. The temperature does seem to get very cool which is important to me. Many of these coolers barely get below room temperature but this one seems to keep the product cool. I took off one star because this item is made in China. The door can be reversed which the description did not mention.

I liked this product a lot...for the first 12 months. I bought two of them - one for our lake house and the other for in town. They kept a true temperature, ran quietly and did just what you would expect of a wine cooler; until suddenly they both stopped working. It was uncanny - they both simply quit keeping the wine cool after almost exactly a year of owning them. If I was a cynic I would call it planned obsolescence. It's pretty frustrating. I won't buy an EdgeStar anything ever again.

Don't buy Edgestar! Ours quit cooling after having it for a little over a year. Their warranty is for 90 days only. They wanted to sell us a new part for $48 but would not guarantee it. Looks like this one is going to the dump.

I bought this for my wife for our condo. She loves wine. We stacked the fridge with different bottles. It holds the temperature and it doesn't make any annoying sounds. I would definitely recommend this.

I am quite pleased with this product for the price. It stays about 50-55F on the coldest setting. I marked off a star for installation because it does not say in the instructions that you need to remove the rubber seal on the door to insert the screws. I figured it out, but I was a little bit nervous to pull off the seal since I wasn't sure if I was supposed to. I also knocked off a star for the shelving/layout/capacity because it really only fits a standard size bottle on a shelf. Anything slightly larger and you need to remove an entire rack to fit it in. Totally acceptable for the price, but 5 extra inches of height in this fridge would make a world of difference. As long as this product lasts for many years, I would happily recommend it!

I can't review this as it is not counter height so I haven't found a way to install it yet. I am putting it in the place of the trash compactor.

I got this for my wife for Christmas and it has worked well so far. It seems all wine coolers have a tendency to just die after a year or so. I'm not sure why. We got it to replace an Oster wine cooler that crapped out twice on us! First time, it went dead after 1 year and I got the store to replace it (even though they made a fuss about it because I didn't buy their extended warranty plan). Second time, it went dead after 6 months. I didn't even bother to try to return it. I got the Edgestar because the size/shape fit into the area we wanted a wine cooler, it got fairly good reviews on Amazon, and it wasn't very expensive. It keeps wine cool and looks good in our kitchen. It would be nice if the temperature dial wasn't in the back where you have to remove the wine bottle to get to it, but we don't adjust the temp much, so it's not a huge deal. Hopefully this one lasts us more than a year.
