The Haier seems to do a good job keeping wine cool; however, it is VERY LOUD. There is a knocking every time the thing turns on to cool. We've contacted Haier but no resolution thus far... it is so loud that it can't be operating normally...

I purchased mine through Sams club but it is the same model. The only con I have is that they skimped a little on the plugs for the holes for the reversible door handle. Stainless steel door with white plastic hole plugs. Ugly. My unit is exceptionally quiet. I can't hear it run at all unless I stoop down and put my ear close to the door. According to the testing I have yearly at work I have excellent hearing. Love my Chilean wine. Love this cooler. 4 out of 5 for stopping short with the hole plugs.

I've had this unit for 2 months now and it's very quiet. The racks slide very smoothly and the fridge fits in handsomly with the other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. I haven't tested it for temperature consistency but I haven't noticed any issues at all in that department. It seems solid and well-built. As with most wine fridges, the capacity is a "best case" -- it realistically fits about 22 bottles.

The only issue I had was removing the door lock (attached by the manufacturer so the door doesn't swing open during shipping). The screws were stripped so I had to leave the lock device on but bend it down so that the door would open. You can't really notice it but it was pretty frustrating.

The unit arrived in original factory packaging (well packed and easy to remove). The quality is excellent and it fit the 15" under-counter space like a glove. The unit is quieter than expected and much quieter than a normal refrigerator unit it is replacing. The internal racks slide in and out for easy access to the bottles. The unit maintains a constant temperature (within a degree or two). By far the best deal for a quality wine cooler of this size (under $400 compared to $1000+ for some similar units.)

solid quiet wine system, ships quickly, well packaged, plug and go. It's not dual zone, but allows dual presents for both white and red.
