"dissapointing1"

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use

Cons: Noisy

"this is the only thing that i am dissapointed with in my new kitchen! untill the fitter unpacked it i was unaware that the appliance needs to have a 50mm gap left at each side and a 100mm gap at the top, this means it looks like its just been stuck in a gap which ruins the look of my new kitchen(it does not state this in the appliance speck or i would not have purchased it!) the temp has to be on high all the time to chill the wine and even then its not as cold as if it was stored in the fridge which kind of defeats the object and seems noisy. the over all look of it would be good if not for the gaps! however it was a good price."

"Not What It SaysOn The Tin"

Pros: looks good

Cons: Noisy, not up to spec, limitations on installation

"Requirements for space around the cooler are apparent only after purchase - nothing mentioned in the marketing blurb.

Fails to meet the claimed 10 degrees Celsius. Best reading on a digital thermometer is 11-12 degrees at the bottom of the loaded unit..

Some ordinary wine bottles will not fit the shelf spacing - overcome by inverting alternate shelves but this reduces capacity from 4 to 3 bottles per shelf.

Fortunately ours is located in a separate utility room. Otherwise the noise level would be unacceptable.

In summary, not what it claims to be."

"Not quite whats needed"

Pros: Easy to use, looks good

Cons: Noisy, not cold enough

"This was a very efficient purchase and delivery. It is an attractive piece of kitchen furniture however it doesn't quite do the job.

With the control set at 50% the fan, which runs constantly, is quite audible and struggles to achieve 12C. At full on it can get the temperature down to 10C but is very noisy.

In my view neither temperature is cold enough and with the fan running constantly I wonder how long it will last"

Pros: Easy to use, looks good

Cons: Noisy

"service was truly unbeatable and i'd recommend to anyone.

as far as the product goes - you get what you pay for. its good but quite noisy (much nosier than a normal fridge for example) keeps your bottles at a good temperature but has no exact temperature control only low to high and you estimate where you are between 10 and 18 degrees. also doesnt fit magnums and the shelves are ideal for bordeaux style bottles but not great for burgundy/champagne style. thats said its was just over £100 including delivery which is in my price range and is doing a good job and making my wines longevity increase"
