Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019
Pros:
- Affordable and seems to work well
- Gets very cold with no apparent cold spots, as far as I can tell so far. That may change if I turn the temperature down very cold for prolonged periods of time, though.
Cons:
- No temperature gauge or readout. Just a number dial ranging from 0 - 7, with wine storage temperatures being optimized at close to a 1. Instruction manual does not correlate approximate temperatures to power settings.
- Not specifically designed for wine. Bottles roll around freely on flat metal racks before finally settling into place, with some room to spare -- just not enough room to properly fit another bottle of wine
- Will not fit magnums or larger sized bottles of wine sideways without sacrificing significant storage space
- rack positions waste space when storing wine instead of cans of soda. If the manufacturer just made some very minor adjustments and a slight increase in size, you could fit a lot more wine into this thing.
- LED light is manually switched on and off instead of on when the door is open. The light is also weak, center-mounted, and a cheap purple-y / bluish hue.
- The unit makes gurgling liquid noises. Not entirely sure why.
This fridge can fit anywhere between 24 - 30 bottles of wine, depending on how you choose to stack them. So far, I am very happy with it, despite my 3 star review. Here's my take on it:

Decent budget wine fridge, with some minor issues
