When we initially purchase this, we let the unit sit completely turned off for 2 days in case the shipper for any reason had the unit tilted. With that said, once we turned on the unit to check everything out and cool down the unit to the lowest temperature, it barely made any noise when the compressor kicked on.<br><br>The blue light is beautiful and thus shine all the way to the lowest level. The temperature is probably the most accurate wine cooler we bought as we have a smaller one upstairs and this one is being kept downstairs. The unit is very solid and heavy but we also love the sliding drawer with ball bearings as it's much smoother than the cheaper units that only have the rack simply on the rack by itself.<br><br>The lock mechanism we don't use but would be helpful also if you have small children or don't want anyone to access your wine collection ??

If you are looking for 24inch width and dual, this is the best choice ever. You wo not regret it.<br><br>Really do not understand people complaining about noise or temperature control, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.<br><br>Make sure to stand it for 24 hours when it arrives. I did 48 hours to make sure. Then plug it.<br><br>This is a very basic and simple rule for all types of refrigerators then it will not cause any problems.The handle installation is super easy too.

We removed our ancient old trash compactor and installed this wine cooler. We now have had it in operation about two months, with no problems The unit is very well constructed and looks classy. It is not noisy and maintains the set temps very well. One simple improvement that the manufacturer could do is to make the electric plug 90 degree angled. The current plug comes straight out and I had to buy a angled plug adapter in order to be able to push the unit all the way in (our outlet is located directly behind the unit). All in all a very good unit

I am finding this wine cooler is everything and more than I expected. The setup was simple. The unit holds the desired temperatures well and provides very little compressor noise. I really like the design especially the wooden pull out trays. This is my second wine cooler purchase and compared to my first purchase more than seven years ago, this cooler really shines. The company's Customer Support team was so very helpful. I want to thank them for making this purchase most rewarding to me and my wife.

This is the BEST wine fridge I have ever owned. It is super quiet and extremely well made! I love the classy look and the perfect dual temperature settings! You will be in love with this fridge! I also love that you can choose to have it lit up or not. Perfection!

I absolutely love my new Antarctic wine Fridge. It came perfectly packaged and I was very impressed. However ours came with a dent on the top edge which obviously was not done during shipping because of the way it was packaged. This was not an issue for us because the unit worked perfectly and we planned to create a custom cabinet for it. the manufacture offered a discount which was super nice instead of having to repackage and ship back.

It looks very nice, but I can not write a review because my kitchen remodeling is taking longer that planned and I was not yet able to install.As soon as I install and start to use it I Will write a review about how the wine cooler is working for me.

Reaches the set temperature amazingly quickly. Solid build, and elegant wood shelves. When you load the shelves do it slowly with shelves not quite fully pulled out: just a question of torque. This IS a 28 bottle wine fridge, for standard wine bottles. This wine cooler is very efficient in its use of space which is why it takes up so little room. But that leaves no extra room for non-standard bottles. They will fit, but will reduce the number of bottles you can fit. Start by putting those on very bottom, removing that shelf completely. I realize there are good wines sold in non-standard sized bottles. Those will pose a challenge to any wine cooler, period. Quiet - next to our bedroom in a closet: can't hear it. Low-vibration (ideal for wine storage). Blue light only on if you press it on (saves energy).

So I think this is good for a small " collection" or just use it as not so cold water bottle etc. Let's say 18 is no problem at all for the normally size.<br>I really love to separate water bottle from stock in regular refrigerator for the smell and convenience. I also like to put my chocolate here since too cold is not good. When I needed, I remove shelf for bigger items or cleaning. Oh I like the wooden look shelfs instead of chrome racks, quite and just right under countertop. so far so good.<br>But for who has a bigger kitchen and island. 24" double doors or tall type will be more elegant.

We were quite pleased with the new wine fridge. It is quiet except when cycling on but the noise is not overwhelming and we only hear it when standing near it. The top which can cool lower than the bottom holds less bottles. For us the top holds 6 bottles the bottom holds 12 - since we want the ease of not having the bottom of the bottles facing out. - so we put in 6 whites on top and 12 reds on bottom. Even putting the bottles top to bottom it would be a tight fit for 28 larger bottles - especially on a few of the racks. We would buy it again - it is quiet and cooling enough wine for us!

Bought this appliance as part of my bar appliances also using it for the past 10-12 days and has no issues so far. It has dual-zone temperature control, so you can maintain two different temperatures for wines and sodas. As well as good built quality and minimum noise level. I got the wine cooler with the right hinge door, so make sure that whatever you order matches with your kitchen or bar pattern. It makes your wine cooler is as low as 41��F (5��C) for white wines or as high as 65��F (18��C) for red wines. And it cools very quickly in between 15 to 20 minutes!.<br>It is sleek and stylish and fits perfectly in our space. Setup is extremely easy.

My old wine fridge went out and although it did not cause much damage when it did (or at least I couldn't tell after polishing off a bottle), I did want to get a more reliable wine fridge. This one happened to be on sale and was the perfect size and price point for my casual drinking collection.<br><br>This wine cooler fits all sorts of bottles, unlike my old fridge, and the temperature control is fairly precise. I used a laser thermometer to test it after running it for a bit and found it to be within a degree of the displayed temperature. I like to keep my reds at around 55 F and this seems to do the job after a week in.<br><br>As we're now entering triple-digit weather out here in Arizona, the timing couldn't have been better.

Love this little Jewel! It has really exceeded my expectations. I just wish they made an 18 inch model because I had an appliance there that was 18 in. So I had to added a filler. I read several reviews saying theirs was noisy. Mine is extremely quiet. My question to those people is, did you follow the instructions and leave it sitting in an upright position for 24 hours? During shipping the unit could get laid on it's side and the oil could run out of the compressor into other parts of the system. Not setting it upright long enough for the oil to run back to the compressor could cause damage and possibly make it noisy. I love how accurate the temperature controls are. I have the top set at 41 deg (minimum for it) and bottom at 57 deg (maximum for it) and each time I walk past that's exactly what the temperature is. The packaging was excellent and I don't see how it could get damaged. Lots of people complain about the number of bottles it will hold. If you pay attention to the web page it shows a picture of a bottle with dimensions. That size is what they use when they say it holds 30 bottles. 750 ML standard size.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this wine fridge! The temperature holds ALL THE TIME! I can sometimes hear the unit however the noise level is not loud at all. The wooden shelves make this unit so attractive and much more expensive looking than it is. Also the glass door is NOT completely clear, it has a minor black tint to it. Before buying this unit I asked if the glass door was tinted or completely clear. People answered it was completely clear. I almost didn't buy this unit because of that as I was looking for a somewhat tinted glass door. I'm glad I didn't listen to the people who answered this question!

Works as stated in the description and much quieter than I expected. Following all instructions is the best instructions I can give. Pay attention to the placement of the door seal once you install the beautiful handle. This item looks quite elegant in kitchen, dining room,. or man-cave / she-shed!

We have had this a month and so far we really like it. Works as described. Sipping was fast and item well-packed. Followed instructions and we let it sit a couple days before turning it on. Works great and runs quiet. Like having two separate areas that are each temperature-controlled for different wines. The door lock is a nice feature as the unit sits at ground level and we have little ones. Overall, great product, nice design. We��re satisfied with this purchase.

Thought the packaging was very good my cooler did arrive damaged.<br>However it works beautifully and it��s very quiet. Amazon was quick to address my complaints and make sure I was satisfied.<br>I know other reviews say it��s loud but I honestly hear nothing! And it looks nice. I replaced a broken trash compactor with this cooler and it fits very well.

I really like this wine refrigerator. It��s quiet looks very nice in my dining room. I was reluctant to put it in my kitchen because I thought it would be another annoying sound like my own refrigerator but it is so quiet I will probably make room in the cabinets in the kitchen. It is the oerfect dimensions for the kitchen cabinets but also looks great standing on its own in the dining room. The blue light is perfect and the wine bottles fit perfectly even the champagne bottles. Having 2 different temps is great too!! I love it!!
phyto
It is exactly what we thought it would be. The outside looks super nice and it is the perfect size for our needs. The shelves move in and out really easy and I like the dual temperature areas. A great purchase. One recommendation for the manufacturer: Please consider using different tape to keep the doors closed during transit. It is very hard to remove all of the tape and leaves a residue. I still can't get all of it off the frig.

Personally, this is the best wine cooler I ever have. My previous one bought from BJ with the same pricing, but not included any humidification control capability. Therefore, I am happy with this product! I am highly recommended. :)
Dawn
Very nice wine fridge!<br>The stainless steel frame makes it look very sleek.<br>Makes my kitchen appliances<br>Dual temperature controls works great for red and white wine.<br>This things holds lots of bottles!<br>We have about 20 bottles of wine currently and there��s still room for more.<br>Time to go order more wine haha.<br>I��ve never had a wine fridge before. Drinking wine at the right temperature is a game changer!

This is a gorgeous wine cooler. I am renovating my kitchen and this is going to impress so many of my guests. It is really playing to the eye.<br><br>The cooler has six removable shelves. The shelves vary in size to accommodate different size bottles. I especially appreciate this, as I like to enjoy many different brands/flavors. It holds 28 bottles of wine when the bottles are regular sized (approx 1.8"x2.75")<br><br>The top area can be set to a different tempturature than the bottom. This allows whites to be kept cooler, while reds a bit warmer. The songs are digital and as easy to adjust as a basic oven would be.<br><br>The cooler comes with two keys to keep kids (or surprise guests) out of your stash.<br><br>The handle does need to be mounted on. It was easy. I did it myself. I needed only a Philips screwdriver to install the handle, as all hardware was included.<br><br> There is a door chime to alert you if you've accidentally left the door open. It beeps to let you know.<br><br> The legs are adjustable to accommodate for uneven grounding. Each twists up or down as needed.

Searched high and low for a small dual zone wine fridge reading specs and reviews. Settled on this unit for a few reasons:<br>1. good reviews. I read everything.<br>2. quiet operation. I wanted an actual compressor fridge but wanted something quiet as we are not installing in a cabinet.<br>3. dual zone with good temperature ranges. Not all dual zone fridges get as low as this one for the whites.<br>4. space for larger bottles WITHOUT removing shelves. I like to keep some Pinot Noirs on hand and they are a fatter bottle. Most small dual zone fridges require you to remove a shelf to acclimate this size bottle. this on does not.<br>5. Attractive. To me anyway. I like the industrial, professional kitchen look. And the wooden shelves look better than wire.<br>Set up was easy and the fridge came to temps I set (41 for whites and 64 for reds) very quickly. There is a button on the control panel to adjust between C and F.

I have an update to my review: Thank you so much for turning a disappointing purchase into a beautiful focal point for our redesigned kitchen. The company got back to us with a remedy. They sent us a replacement wine cooler. It is beautiful and quiet. It works perfectly keeping our wine at a perfect temperature. Thank you for your wonderful Customer Service!<br><br>The fridge itself fits in the space and is pretty. We were very excited! We followed instructions letting it sit for a couple days. When we plugged it in it reached the temperatures we wanted. So that was good. But then it leaked all over the floor. We tried reaching the company to see if there was a remedy to the problem or a part missing. Someway to fix it to keep it from leaking, or get a replacement fridge since we liked it and was probably just a flook with this one fridge, or that maybe something happened during transit. Still Crickets. No response. It's now been sitting unplugged for a couple weeks. We are waiting for the company to give some sort of response or send a replacement. Customer Service is definitely not their strong suit which is disappointing. Those who have said there is a 1 year warranty I would question its validity should something go wrong, since they do not seem to respond.

Just received the cooler a couple days ago. The package was delivered in perfect condition! Everything works as advertised.The unit is nearly silent. We set 45 degrees for the upper area and 59 degrees for the lower one. It reached the temperature quickly and hold it well. So good! The wine cooler has the slider on both side.They slide in and out smoothly.You don't need to worry about the wines that are too heavy at all. It is really sleek and compliments our kitchen decor. Happy!
