Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller, Black and Stainless – Review

Vinotemp has been producing high quality wine chillers since 1985, and the Vinotemp VT-18TEDS is another fine example. This freestanding thermo-electric digital bottle wine cooler from Vinotemp will keep up to 18 bottles properly chilled at your chosen temperature, while adding to the décor of any setting with its’ sleek black and stainless steel design.   This wine chiller’s innovative thermo-electric cooling system has very few moving parts, and delivers ultra-quiet, energy-efficient operation, protecting your wine from unnecessary vibration and allowing it to age naturally. As well as thermo-electric cooling being better for your wine, this method of cooling is much better for the environment since it does not use ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFC’s or HCFC’s. For further energy efficiency this wine-cooling unit has a dual-paned glass door which provides better UV protection and better insulation properties, promoting less electricity use. Other features include a maximum ambient room temperature of 77 degrees F, easy push-button controls, a digital temperature display, and five sturdy pull-out chrome shelves for individual bottle storage. The Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller measures 21-1/2 by 14 by 25-1/2 inches and comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Review – Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller

The Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller comes highly recommended by the people who currently own and use this wine chiller.

This wine chiller is produced by Vinotemp, a manufacturer in business since 1985 with a good reputation for quality products. One owner reported “We called a wine store for a recommendation and this is the manufacturer he recommended”.

Our research uncovered many pleased owners, with comments such as “very pleased”, “excellent wine cooler”,  “highly recommended for wine connoisseurs”, and “does the job exactly as I would wish”. A very high number of owners rated this wine cooler as a 5/5 or 4/5.

Temperature

Many remarked on the quick and accurate cooling temperature and quiet running of the Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller.  One person brought up the point that if one likes their white wines chilled, one would have to move the white wine to a refrigerator an hour or two before serving.  This would, of course, be the case with any single temperature wine cooler in which both reds and whites are being cooled.

Appearance

Sleek black and stainless steel design “looks nice”, according to owners.

Bottle Size Compatibility

The only complaint that we were able to find was that this wine chiller only fits standard size wine bottles and that long bottles had to be laid across the bottom of the unit and especially wide bottles didn’t fit in the middle shelves, though apparently they can be placed in the upper shelf.

Life Span

Summary

Consumer reviews on the Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller were generally very positive.  If you store both red and white wines and don’t want to have to move whites to the refrigerator before serving, then we would suggest purchasing a dual temperature unit.

If a single (adjustable) temperature chiller suits your needs, the Vinotemp VT-18TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 18-Bottle Wine Chiller certainly comes highly recommended by the people who currently own and use them. We would concur with that, especially given the very reasonable price and more than adequate capacity of this bottle wine cooler.
