Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A good match for the wine enthusiast with limited space, this Sanyo wine cooler protects your bottles while preserving their contents with steady, cool temperatures. Sturdy if simple, the wine cooler’s cabinet is made of steel with a tempered-glass door. There’s room enough inside for 24 bottles of wine stored on coated wire racks that slide out for easy access. The unit comes with three settings--minimum, normal, and maximum--controlled by a dial on the outside of the machine. These are not as exact as a thermostatic control or a temperature dial, but cover the most common requirements of wine storage. If you seek exacting controls and complex feedback systems, this cooler’s probably not for you. But if you simply hope to improve the taste and prolong the life of your favorite vintages, it’s more than adequate. Measuring 18-5/8 by 25-1/4 by 19-3/8 inches, the cooler uses 30 watts of power. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good wine cooler at reasonable price, August 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Sanyo SR-2404 Wine Cooler (Kitchen)

The Sanyo 24 bottle wine cooler is about the best on the market for this size. Construction quality is quite good. I managed to fit 27 bottles of cabernet (7 on bottom shelf). The temperature control was perfect with the normal setting measured by my thermometer at 55 degrees, ideal for long term storage of fine wines. I got tired of my wine spoiling after a few months, even in the basement, and the good stuff is getting outrageously expensive. I now feel much more confident in storing. Big thumbs up.

This wine cooler is certainly not top-of-the-line, but it is perfect for the average wine drinker (like myself). It is nice looking, and holds a consistent temperature. One small drawback is that it does not have a temperature gauge built in-- I had to buy one.

Definitely would purchase this again... the wine does taste better!

Functions as advertised. Instructions were complete. Could be upgraded by having Sanyo install a thermometer.

The unit visually is the equal of other hardware in the kitchen annex where it sits on a counter.

I am going to install some exterior side wall insulation blocks covered with thin veneer hardwood to reduce cold loss. To the hand, the box insulation must not be quite thick enough to retain more cold.

Bottom line: I would do it again.
