Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My wife and I received this item as a wedding gift and, although we are generally satisfied with some aspects of the cooler (appearance, capacity and size, and convenience) the unit itself does not maintain a stable temperature on its own (a "must have" for delicate wines and the reason we wanted a wine fridge in the first place). The unit, as I was told by a representative at the fridge's manufacturer, is an ambient room temperature-dependant machine and is only capable of cooling between 20-25 degrees of the room's temperature. What this means is that wide swings in temp (such as in an non air conditioned apartment) will result in equally dramatic swings in the fridge's internal temperature. Additionally, on a hot summer's day, I have seen the temperature swing as high as 25 degrees above the unit's set temperature. If high levels of temperature control and stability are more important to you than slick looks, small external unit size, and the convenience of being able to have wine out of your regular refrigerators, perhaps another unit would best suit your needs
