Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Correctly storing wine maximizes each bottle’s potential--not to mention your drinking pleasure. This electric wine cellar from Haier houses up to 42 bottles at a time with easily tailored settings for the specific vintages in your collection. Fully adjustable, the electronic thermostat ranges from 45 to 60 degrees F, creating ideal conditions for both red and white wines. The cellar also includes automatic settings for reds and whites. Programming is simple, thanks to the LED readout, which shows both the programmed and current temperature. The bottles rest on eight chrome racks that slide out for easy access, and the interior lighting is soft and unobtrusive. The cellar has a double-panel door with contoured smoked glass and a security lock. Like Haier's other cellars, this unit is CFC-free. --Emily Bedard

4.0 out of 5 stars Important Point to Consider, January 20, 2004

NOTE:

Haier no longer seems to be doing business in the U.S. I wouldn't buy their remaining products as they won't be around to service them or get parts or things.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

This model does not feature UV protection on the glass door so it's useless for storing wine long term except in a garage or basement. If you plan on installing in your kitchen, get something else with UV protection. Haier has a higher end model that does feature UV glass. Too bad because I think it's very stylish and understated and actually nicer looking than the higher end model.

The main thing to remember here is that you need to either situate this in a dark place (a basement would be better than a garage since your electric bill will be less) or you need to plan on using it only for short-term wine storage -- very important fact to remember in deciding on models to purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect size and stylish, October 17, 2002

This review is from: Haier HVFO42ABL 42-Bottle Wine Cellar, with Contoured Smoked Glass Door (Kitchen)

This is a great wine cooler. I purchased this unit about four months ago and have loved it ever since. Living in the northeast where the weather changes from cool to hot it was not very appealing to keep wine at home for more than a period of ~2 months. This unit allows me to store wine with the confidence that they won't be adversely afffected by the changing temperatures or extreme heat. Besides the functional aspects the unit is also well designed and not an eyesore. It melds into a room and is almost always a topic of discussion. The only complaint that I would have about the unit is that does make some noise, but no more than any small refrigerator would.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great wine cooler for small spaces - holds more, too!, August 17, 2003

In spite of previous reviewer who obviously can't fit the bottles in right, I managed to store 47 (yes, 47) standard 750ml bottles. All you have to do is alternate the direction the necks point on the bottom two shelves, holding 4 each. I fit 9 on the top shelf alone, but it has to be the right bottle shape. The other five shelves will hold 6 bottles each - 5 in a row, plus a sixth at a right angle so you can see the label thru the door. It's a snug fit, but it can work...

I use this to store red wines, and it does a great job for my needs. I have a small apartment, and this unit's size was perfect. It keeps the wines at the proper temp, and yes there's a faint bit of gurgling noise when the compressor is operating, but no more noticeable that your household fridge.

For the money, this is really a great deal, esp. with the 5-year warranty. ...
