So far so good. I can’t tell if the temperature is holding or not, though.
If your electric goes off — even for one second — this wine cooler turns off and does not turn back on. You have to manually turn it back on. Imagine if your refrigerator turned off each time the lights flickered.
I live in Florida where we get thunderstorms each afternoon. Each day when I get home from work, the wine cooler is off and my wine is warm.
Next, it only holds very standard shaped bottles. Some wine bottles are either too fat or too tall to fit.
Very pleased with the wine cooler, the product is just what it’s called, “A Wine Cooler/cellar”…not a refrigerator. Eye appeal is a 10, looks great in our kitchen, construction 10, cooling ability 10, gets bottle temps to temps that are listed in instruction book. The only thing I can knock it on is the fact it doesn’t turn back on after a power outage, but the instructions tell you this, so it’s not that big a deal if you know it up front. It’ not a $50 cooler and it’s not a $1500 cooler, it’s for the person that enjoys an occasional glass of wine, not the connoisseur.
Packaging was great and the temp began dropping rapidly as soon as plugged in. So far the temps have stayed where we set them and haven’t had the shut off problem mentioned in one of the reviews we read. Very quiet and able to hold a blend of magnum and regular bottles with ease. Not bad for a counter top machine and perfect for our life style which consumes a bottle or two a week.
Don’t count on having cold wine when you get back from vacation because the slightest power fluctuation turns it off. Also, the racks are so tightly spaced that you can’t fit anywhere near 16 bottles if they’re champagnes or otherwise larger than average. Finally, the cooling capability is really wimpy and it won’t cool your wine below about 50F if the ambient room temperature is around 72F. This was a warranty replacement for a CWC-1200 which at least fit bigger bottles. I’m kind of hoping for this one to die soon so I can replace it.
