3.0 out of 5 stars "Silent" is a misnomer, January 20, 2008

We purchased this wine cooler from Wine Enthusiast a month ago to replace a larger Danby cooler that we had used for a little over four years. The Danby suddenly developed a fatal flaw that could not be fixed (the temperature kept increasing and could not be controlled). Needless to say, we were not interested in buying another Danby product. To control energy costs and conserve space, we looked for a smaller model, and the "Silent" model from Wine Enthusiast looked like it would fit the bill. We also liked the size, because we were considering placing it in our kitchen. When it arrived, we decided that, to keep the kitchen uncluttered, we would place the cooler in the laundry room, and we're glad we did. This model is by no means "silent." It has been installed with plenty of room on all sides, seems to be keeping a fairly steady temperature (plus/minus 1 degree of setting), but it does have a noticeable hum. In fact, it makes more noise than our kitchen's Amana refrigerator. The unit looks attractive, but you should be aware that larger bottles (particularly Burgandy-shaped bottles--those wider at the bottom than the top, and most champagne bottles) will not fit in this unit. In fact, even to load or remove standard Bordeaux bottles, you have to pull the tray partly out and carefully jiggle it back in. I guess that's the price you pay for the unit's compact size.

I purchased this wine cooler and it worked fine until about 2 weeks after the warranty expired. It is now a useless piece of junk that will cost more to repair that it is worth. Don't waste your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broken after 7 days., December 14, 2010

This review is from: Wine Enthusiast Silent 28 Bottle Wine Refrigerator -Stainless Steel Trim Door

I used my AMEX points to buy this unit and was extremely disappointed when, after only 7 days of use, it developed a fatal error. The screen went black, and it began omitting a loud chirping noise. However, since I had discarded the packaging, I was SOL on getting it replaced. Instead I'm having to go through the warranty to get a repairman out to my house to fix it. Total nightmare.
