Cool as a cucumber

So far so good! Had this unit for about 3 months now and it has been performing rather well. I keep mine on the floor in the corner of my dining room which helps keep it cool. The temp has only fluctuated a few times, no more than 3 degrees higher than set, but quickly returns to where it should. It's kept my bottles at a comfortable temp, set at 54 degrees, right at the cusp of red and white. I even have a bottle of vodka in there just because. My only gripe is that reaching for bottles in the upright section (bottom left), can be a little difficult as it doesn't pull out in a tray of sorts. Perhaps the next gen can get this perk!

Very happy with this product

We love this wine cooler. Had an 8 bottle countertop model that took up too much space. Not sure why this is called a countertop because it's too tall to fit under my cabinets & I always intended to sit it on the floor right next to my cabinets. it fits perfectly there. the best feature is the upright section where you can put open bottles instead of getting them too cold in the fridge. I don't think the fan is too noisy. I have pretty sensitive hearing and I can usually tell when it runs but then it becomes just a little white noise. we live in a hot climate and so far it is keeping our reds at 56 right where I set it. it's also very nice looking. I would definitely recommend.

Love this product!

This is a perfect product for keeping your wines chilled, and keeping them for much longer times. Love that it has a section to stand a bottle up to keep it fresh, and chilled. Works just like they say, with easy instructions on starting the cooler. Keep wines at a set temp., small, and perfect for counter top or set on the floor. Looks great, and the quality is great. Highly recommend.

Great value for wine storage; drink up me hearties, yo ho!

This cooler gives some flexibility in how you store your bottles; the large bottles can stand vertically on the lower left side, or rest horizontally. It cools quickly, and isn't impacting our electric bill noticeably. The only complaint I have is that the LED light for the temperature is a bright sky blue; the worst ambient light for sleep or rest. Had the LED been green or red, it would have been better, but I will still give it five stars because the controls require unlocking before use, making it hard for my toddler to set the temperature. It doesn't have an integral lock, but we have an adhesive door lock we use on cabinets that also works here. We're very satisfied.

Will fit champagne bottles

I just got this today so I can’t speak to it’s longevity yet. But within an hour it was cooled to its set temperature and very quiet. If you remove the bottom rack it will comfortably hold 10 bottles of champagne. If you’re not planning on storing only champagne you can use the top rack for the larger bottles and leave the other rack in for regular size bottles. You will not be able to stand up open bottles of champagne in the bottom rack. But I never seem to have an open bottle of champagne leftover so not an issue for me. So far loving this cooler.

If your buttons don't work, try this little trick first!

Purchased this unit to replace my aging Haier on which I'd replaced the thermoelectric module in several times. Avanti makes very good products, nonetheless - when I plugged it in, I was unable to change any of the parameters (temp, wine type) on the display. No problem, a quick fix for anyone that this happens to: the top hinge has a black plastic cover. Take it off and you'll see 4 wires feeding into a black connector. Unplug the connector - doing so with the power on is OK because of the small voltage present which you cannot contact anyway because the connections are protected inside of the connector - and plug it back in. After that, snap the hinge cover back on; anyone can do this! A small "inconvenience" to make your unit function again and, it's no big deal! Sure beats having to ship it back for a replacement. I also found out that the buttons are always locked out until you press both of the 'temp up' and 'temp down' buttons together - overlooked that in the manual. It's June 2015 and the cabinet has performed flawlessly. VERY pleased with it especially the 4-bottle stand-up area. Finally figured that out; as you open bottles and reseal with your vacu-vin or what have you, it doesn't make sense to lay them back down, they're not going to "breathe" through those seals so, stand 'em up and they'll be ready when you are for your next glass! Neat idea? July 12, 2016 Update - As I passed the cooler today, I noticed that the temperature displayed was 58 degrees (set on 55,) no fans running and no action from the buttons. Unplugged, left unpowered for a minute then restored power; now all is right again. Hope this was a power grid fluke, either a dip or spike. Still loving this little cooler!

Great wine chiller!

Great wine cooler! So far it works perfectly and makes no sound which I find amazing. Wine stays cool at preferred setting, love it. Perfect for a small space but too large for counter top placement.

Being able to store a bottle upright is a nice feature! Here are a couple of things to ...

After our kitchen remodel, we had some space under the counter so decided to get this as my wife loves wine. This is very quiet and keeps the temperature at a constant level based on where you set it. Being able to store a bottle upright is a nice feature! Here are a couple of things to consider though: 1) If there's a power outage, the unit will reset to the default temperature, not the temperature you have it set to, if different from the default. 2) Be sure to allow enough clearance around the wine refrigerator. If you get it too close on any of the sides (left, right, back or top), it will struggle to cool down 3) It doesn't take long for it to get warmer if the door is open, and it warms up much faster than it cools down All in all, though, it's a really nice appliance and does exactly what it is intended to do.

Satisfied purchase.

I recently purchased this (12-17) after researching all of the comparable coolers. Upon setting up it took a few hours to reach temperature, I set it for white wine because I like my reds a bit cooler then 54 degrees. Cooler is very quiet hardly noticing when it is running. The control panel works well, just touch temp settings for three seconds and it unlocks the panel to either reset the temp or turn on the interior light. Holds four bottles upright for taller bottles and eight lie flat for std 750ml bottles. Overall appears to be well constructed. Shipping took about 5 days. I also purchased the 3 year warranty, I don't normally but decided the $10.00 would be worth it. So far so good and I would recommend this cooler.

Perfect solution for keeping wine chilled in a small space

I bought this for my father as a gift and he loves it. He recently moved to Northern California (without AC) so the temperature indoors can fluctuate and sometimes get as warm as 85-90 degrees (F). He was keeping his wine on a wine rack at room temperature, so he was regularly drinking wine that wasn't chilled at all. Putting your wine in fridge chills it far too cool. This has made a huge difference. He absolutely loves it - it keeps the wine a perfect temperature for him (you can set it to whatever temperature you prefer). It also is completely silent and it looks great. It is small enough to fit perfectly next to the counters in the kitchen and look really nice, but it holds plenty of wine for him to enjoy regularly with dinner. He is very knowledgeable about wine, so I trust his opinion when he says that this is a great solution.
