I purchased this wine cooler in October of 2023. It worked perfectly until mid-December 2024. The temperature on the display was not consistent with the internal temperature. The wine was registering as 40 degrees despite the temperature display reading 58. I then raised the temperature and it is stuck on 64 degrees and the wine is still 40 degrees. I contacted the company and they gave me a few things to do to troubleshoot but it did not resolve the problem. They said it is defective but since it is over one year they cannot replace it but offered 15% off a new unit. I am hesitant to purchase another from this company since I only got barely 15 months from the one I bought.

Was great for 4 months. Now it keeps the wine hotter than the room. No recourse for refund or repair. Total trash.

Holds 8 bottles, has wood finish on the rack, clean look and very quiet. I like the thermo-electric design of these small wine coolers. They’re quiet, compact, and maintains a constant temperature - we set it to 56 degrees - and easily fits into a standard open-face cabinet or on the counter.

My old wine fridge was dying, so I selected this one to take its place. It’s very simple to set up. Step 1: plug it in. Step 2: set the temperature. Step 3: put wine bottles inside.I only had to consult the directions to figure out how to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit. I set the temperature for 60 degrees for my bottles of red wine, and I waited for the fridge to reach that temperature before loading it up. It took less than a half hour to reach 60. The fridge is very quiet, and it keeps a pretty stable temperature. I’ve been watching the temp reading for a few days now, and it cools down as low as 57 at times, but I have yet to see it go above 60. So the variance is very minor.The storage space is somewhat limited in that only "regular-sized" bottles will fit easily. The wire shelves slide out so you can remove some of them if you want to make room for a thicker bottle like champagne. Of course, that will reduce the number of bottle you can store. I only tend to have 5-6 bottles at most in my wine fridge, so I don't know how well the thermostat holds up if the fridge is packed full with 12 bottles. The fridge is working well for the few bottles I have on hand.Aesthetically speaking, the fridge has a nice sleek exterior, and it’s just tall enough to serve as a small tabletop.

This Ivation model is perfect for us. My boyfriend and I are novice wine enthusiasts with precious little real estate in our 632 square ft apartment. We wanted a wine cooler that would preserve a few bottles until they were ready to drink a few years down the road and have enough space for our rotating selection. We needed something slender and discreet - both in terms of noise and light. I can't stand waking up at night to an apartment full of bright little lights staring at me. This model has a constant blue display of the temperature that's bright enough to see from across the room but doesn't glare at you. Another plus is its electricity usage - surprisingly efficient. I thought our electricity bill would jump given even though this is a thermoelectric model. It did, of course, but far less than I anticipated. Another thing I like about it is the rack size - it's perfect for any bottle you'd expect to find, whether its a slender riesling or a bottom-heavy pinot noir. And while the racks aren't designed to slide out, they come in and out of their supports pretty easily.I have two small complaints. The first is the temperature reader. Since I unwrapped it, I've had it set to a consistent 55 degrees F and never changed it. Sometimes the temperature would mysteriously go up 3-7 degrees and just hover there, even though I hadn't disturbed the refrigerator or opened the doors at all. This happened in the summer as well as the winter, so it makes me wonder if the temperature reader is a little buggy and the temperature inside is actually fine. None of my wine has spoiled, so it's not enough to knock off a star.The second complaint is that you cannot put anything on top of it. At all. In a moment of absent-mindedness I put 3-5 magazines on top of it on evening and within a few hours it was freaking out. The motor was whirring audibly for the first time and the temperature reader indicated that the inside had heated up by a few degrees. I took off the magazines and it quickly calmed down. (To be fair, the manual does warn you against doing this - I'm mentioning it here to let you know that they really mean it.)Pros:- Convenient size - fits discreetly next to my bookshelf- Absolutely no noise most of the time- Minimal bright lights- Cost effective - didn't increase my electricity bill a ton- Rack size accommodates a variety of bottle typesCons:- Odd temperature fluctuations - Goes up randomly even though it hasn't been disturbed, regardless of temperature. Also takes a long time to cool back down after you open it - maybe 30-60min.- Can't put anything on top of it.Bottom line: If you are tight on space and money but still want to indulge your love of wine, this model is excellent value.

Pretty good so far. Quieter than I expected.

Update: I’ve had this fridge for 5 years now and it works great and I’ve had zero issues with it!Original review: Take this review with a grain of salt because I have only have the product for 2 weeks. However, the wine fridge arrived quickly, packaged very securely and there was no damage at all when it arrived. (although I feel sorry for the postman having to lug that gigantic box around). It holds 12 bottles easily, although I only have 4 bottles in it right now. I need to stock up on my fine wines.Storing wine at the proper temperature is very important, especially in warmer climates, where wines can go bad within a couple months at room temperature. The ideal temperature for wine to be stored is between 45-65 degrees. Anything over 70 degrees and the wine will start to age too fast or even cook. Also note that most wines are created as "ready-to-drink" wines, and are not meant to be stored and aged. They will simply go bad after a couple years. There are very few wines that are created to be aged. If you do happen to have one of those, it is important to store it in the right way, and this fridge is a great tool with which to do that. And it will prolong the life of your ready-to-drink wines as well.My fridge only took about 30 minutes to get to the correct temperature. I have only used it in the winter, so I will update this later to let you know if it maintains a steady temperature in the summer. It is very thin and unobtrusive. I do not have the counter space for it, but it sits in a corner in the kitchen and blends in well with my other black and stainless appliances. As for now, I would recommend this as a great small, starter cellar for the beginning wine enthusiast.
