4.0 out of 5 stars
After much research, this is a very good value and solidly built. Recommended. Beware, factory packaging needs improvement.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Haier HVB050ABH Designer Series Wine Cellar with 50-Bottle Capacity (Kitchen)
There was visible damage to the box when we received this on August 14, 2006 due to the inadequate Haier factory packaging. There was almost no protective Styrofoam or cardboard employed. After unpacking, we observed that there was cosmetic damage to the top rear, back panel and lower doorframe. We monitored and determined there was no mechanical damage.
We decided to keep the damaged wine cooler since the cosmetic defects weren't readily noticeable after I touched up the doorframe, and we put a large serving tray on the top. Amazon agreed on a partial refund that brought my net cost to approximately what I'd expect to pay for a nicked or dinged item at Home Depot. This was the only wine cooler in this price range that had UV-protected tempered glass and a decent capacity. While it's not quite the advertised 50-bottle capacity, it's close. The variable is the bottom shelf--half shelf, actually. But still, plenty of capacity for us. This wine cooler does not have any sort of built-in thermometer, and the dial does not identify temperatures, it just indicates "cooler" around the knob. We bought a Chaney 00985 Wireless Digital Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer with Two Sensors, to measure and monitor the temperatures at both the top and bottom (where the whites and desserts are). I posted a review of that product also. The wine cellar is a solid, heavy unit and it will likely hold up for many years. The fit and finish are good with no sharp edges, loose parts or gaps anywhere. The door closes completely, and is perfectly aligned. While this unit can be built-into cupboards, we are using ours as a stand-alone unit. There is some audible compressor sound when it's cranked itself up (infrequently) to maintain the temperature, but nothing overbearing. The subdued lighting is attractive. In fact I wish there was a separate switch so we could have he light on when the door is closed. After reading reviews of these moderately priced consumer wine cellars, you should consider an extended warranty. We decided to get the 3-year in-home extended warranty ($30 at Amazon). Also, when you open the door for the first time, you'll see the door handle was run down through the center of all of the metal shelves for shipment. Open the door fully, then you can pull each of the shelves out part way to remove the handle. There's a yellow "Notice" sticker on the glass door with that obnoxious adhesive that won't remove easily. Strip off the top, shiny layer of the sticker, then use something like Goof-Off to rub off the gummy material. The aluminum doorframe had what appeared to be grease spots, apparently residue from the manufacturing process. We used some spray stainless steel cleaner and it cleaned up quickly and easily. All in all, the Haier HVB050ABH Designer Series Wine Cellar is a good bargain at the $400 price. I believe the mechanics will hold up well, as will the unit itself. If not, we have the comfort of that 3-year extended warranty. If Haier had done a proper job with protective packaging, I might have rated this as a 5-Star product. Conversely, if Amazon.com hadn't responded as reasonably and satisfactorily as they did, I might have rated this at 3-Stars overall just because of the packaging and damage.

Noisy, inefficient and poorly constructed,

This review is from: Haier HVB050ABH Designer Series Wine Cellar with 50-Bottle Capacity (Kitchen)
This product must be showing its age because I've had this exact model for years now...perhaps at least 5. I purchased it because back then, there were few other models that had that sort of industrial-style handle / stainless look, and it was a fraction of the price of a similar-looking (very expensive) U-Line or SubZero. Since then, I have been disappointed in the build-quality, efficiency, and noise. The door-hinges do not stay tight, and as a result the door sags (between tighntenings). One of the nylon sleeves on the door-hinge post is defective which only exacerbates the sag. The rubber/magnetic door-seal has split-open at the bottom and hangs-down (and I am having trouble finding this replacement part). The unit runs often and is very noisy (much more so than our large kitchen refrigerator). I've got to believe that there are quieter, more efficient models on the market today. The shelves look like they would slide-out, but in fact once you have them loaded-down with wine-bottles, they do not move. I reccommend having a look at the U-Line-copy Vinotemp currently being sold at Costco....that's what I'm considering as a replacement for this piece of ageing Haier junk.

We bought this unit as an under counter unit. The fan promptly tilted over and then ran so hard it burnt itself out (literally burnt)and caused a slight fire.
