What's great about it: cheap
What's not so great: too loud and died a month after purchase
I should have learned my lesson when my first vinotemp died after only a year of owning it. This one died after a month! Sadly it seems that vinotemp does not make quality products. Before it died it was extremely loud and the noise was surprisingly noticeable even from upstairs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Compact, stylish and holds what it says it does
What's not so great: Control panel lock is a pain.
You can understand that you might want to lock out the control panel, but it should be your choice. You have to unlock it just to turn on the interior light which is a drag. It also seems to default to 52 degrees F on power failure. The biggest crime of all is having to buy it only on-line. It cost $250. and I had to pay an additional $150 in tax and shipping costs. Total was just over $400.
I found it elsewhere on-line, but it would have cost around the same from other places.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Compact yet holds enough bottles. No assembly needed
What's not so great: Touch screen to turn on light doesn't work well.
One of the better wine cellars for the money. Quiet motor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Looks ok. Price.
What's not so great: Functionally meager and noisy with compressor
- We bought this fridge for $200. Good price.
- Took it home, setup in a side room off our living area and on carpet by adding rubber feet lifts so the door would open and better air circ. 4" rear space requirement is a bit ugly.
- Left it for a day, then plugged in. It started ok and began cooling.
- Compressor noise is motivating me to return this item. I had wanted a quiet thermo-electric and in spite of the great price I paid, it is probably too intrusive for me to tollerate.
- Light must be manually turned on/off, after unlocking the panel each time a change is desired.
- Bottle fit with all bottles is very tight. Most 750ml bottles fit ok, but some fatter shaped bottles do not fit at all or throw off the shelf alignment. I was able to get 5 per shelf by staggering some bottles with top in first. Also, I recommend racking with labels on the side as the bottle glass slides better against the rack top/bottom and you won't rip all your labels this way. It really baffles me why they build these fridges to fit bottles so tight. No excuse for a poor design.
- Temp display says 50F but our fridge thermometer on the middle rack says 54F. Hmmm.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: It was defective
Shipping was fine, no problems. When plugged in it appeared to work. None of the controls on the door worked. No way to adjust the temperature, turn on light, etc. There is no base, so it sits flush to the floor. Cannot be opened on a carpet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: good price
What's not so great: didn't work
Just had it delivered yesterday. Pluged it in and had 5 bottles as per the instructions. After 3-5 minutes the features on the front shut off and you can't do anything with it except unplug and try again. After 5 attempts gave up. Hope I can return to store as I don,t plan on spending another $90.00 to ship it back. I have a Vinotemp 12 bottle and it works great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nothing, the wine bottles don't fit in the trays.
What's not so great: Typical wine bottles don't fit in the trays.
Belive it or not, the spacing between the depressions in the shelves is about a quarter of an inch smaller than the witdh of most typical wine bottles. This means you have to leave every other slot open and can't put one bottle directly above another on a tray. I could only fit 2 to 3 bottles on a shelf that was suposed to fit 5. I bought two of these and returned them both in exchange for 32-bottle Cuisinart coolers (that actually hold 32 bottles). The Cuisinart models cost a bit more, but are clearly better built.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It's a wine fridge backed by the VinoTemp name at an affordable price
What's not so great: would love a door lock, but that's it!!
Great product. So far no issues. Wife uses it primarily for red (we rarely have white) so we didn't need dualzone. I found that all of the dual zones i found were designed to hold a lot of white, and a few reds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: I love that it is so quiet
What's not so great: nothing so far
We have one for our red and decided to get one for our white wine Vinotemp is the best so far. We love that this wine cellar is so quiet. We tried a Haier and it was so noisy had to send it back. So far Vinotemp it is working out.
I would recommend this to a friend!
