4.0 out of 5 stars Very quiet, shelves are packed a bit too closely, October 10, 2010

This review is from: Whynter WC-321DD 32 Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler, Stainless Steel Trimmed Glass Door with Black Cabinet (Kitchen)

I bought this for office wine storage (yes, I work in a strange office). Assembly was straightforward once I figured out where they had stored the screw-in front feet. (They're tucked in a corner in the styrofoam).

I wasn't pleased that the instructions called for a few hours of settling before powering it on, but I've had another wine fridge die on me within days of arrival (not this manufacturer or model), so I let it settle.

Settings are straightforward and it maintains the target temperature with almost no noise.

On the downside, the shelves have these metal fronts on them (You can see them in the pictures. The shelves are just wire frame, but there's a front piece). You can't insert or remove even a standard bottle without sliding the shelf out. It's a minor nit, but my home fridge doesn't have this problem, so it bothers me a bit.

We were a little worried when the box showed up. The exterior of the box was bashed in. The shippers clearly gave this item a "fun" ride. Amazon or the manufacturer expected that, though, I guess. It was double boxed, and the inside box (and the product) were fine.

I would buy this item again.

One good looking wine chiller. Absolutely love the steel capped racking. It can store up to 32 bottles evenly with 16 bottles in the right zone and 16 bottles in the left zone. This is a compressor free vibration-free thermoelectric powered cooling type unit. My personal preference given the absence of vibration which can wreak havoc on older wines with softer corks. It also minimizes the drying effect of compressor coolers. The shelves can be taken out so I can put in bottles of varying sizes, but it still looks the best with all the racks installed.

Solidly-built and beautifully designed, I'm surprised it doesn't retail for twice the price. That's why I love shopping on here! It keep temps very accurately and the dual-zones are a real must especially when the hubby likes sangioveses to my reislings.

It's a good size chiller for most needs and complements a contemporary setting perfectly. Thanks Amazon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Some weaknesses, but overall good value, September 20, 2010

I purchased this refrigerator as a birthday present for my husband, not *quite* sure if it was something he'd like. Well, as it turns out he loves it, despite a few limitations.

The unit came delivered in perfect condition. The only assembly that was needed was to insert the shelves and install the door handles. The instructions say to let the unit sit for 24 hours before plugging it in, but of course, we unpacked it and plugged it in before we saw the instructions. I unplugged it as soon as I ready that (so after maybe 20 minutes) and then plugged it in again the next day. It was fine, and it got up to temperature very fast. I can't remember how fast, but fast.

The unit is very quite. We have it in a back bedroom/play room, and you can sleep there without being bothered by the fridge.

Ok, so the weaknesses. We drink a lot of champagne, and the unit does not accommodate champagne bottles well. The shelves themselves are not metal and seem a little light for the $500-ish price tag, but they've been fine so far. Since the unit was not designed for champagne, it doesn't get super-cold, but cold enough for storage (46 degrees, I think). We have beer and red wine in the other side, I think at 50-something degrees.

I did a fair amount of research on wine refrigerators before I bought this one. So far, I'm happy with my purchase (it's been about a month). We'll see how I feel a year from now.
