Review – Whynter WC-211DZ 21 Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler

We found a good number of owner reviews on the Whynter WC-211DZ 21-Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler. It seems that it has quite a number of happy users. Though a few complained about the lack of ease of slide ability of the shelves, that didn’t seem to be a major issue for most owners.  We have no hesitation in recommending this dual zone wine cooler.

Frequent comments were “Looks great”, “very pleased”, “great unit for the price”, “absolutely stunning”, “for the price it’s just unbelievable”, “well pleased”, “works very well”,  “looks great and works great”, and “happy with my purchase”. Most owners rated this wine cooler as a 4/5 or a 5/5.

Owners like the size, calling it a perfect fit into any nook or cranny, and the perfect size for keeping a few bottles chilled for drinking.  Another owner said that he had purchased the Whynter Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler because it was sized right to fit in a space just below his kitchen counter top.

Temperature

The dual zones are definitely an advantage. One owner said “dual feature for red and white is great” , while another said that the wine cooler was working well at keeping both zones at his desired temperatures, and yet another said that the temperatures were “spot on”.

Appearance

Owners seemed particularly pleased with the look of this wine cooler, with one describing it as “Silver, slim, and nice visual addition to any kitchen or bar area”. Another owner went further, to say “I was not quite expecting something that looked as sharp as what I received. Love the stainless steel racks and handle, extremely sophisticated appearance”.

Bottle Size Compatibility

Some owners complained about difficulty storing larger wine bottles, which seems to be a standard complaint for many of the wine coolers in this size and price range. One owner said that the metal trays don’t slide in or out easily and another said that the slide out shelves “feel kind of cheap”, however a third owner said that the “trays are pretty sturdy, but a non-standard wine bottle might not fit well due to narrow clearance.”  Another owner, however, pointed out that “The shelves are designed for the standard 750ml bottle but are completely removable so I can mix and match to store whatever size bottles I need to.”

Life Span

No owners commented on this.

Other Issues

One other complaint that cropped up a few times was that the 4^th foot didn’t come attached, is sized differently, and the manual/instructions don’t tell you where it goes. One buyer initially thought that one foot was missing.  Another was able to find out from customer service that the answer is “it screws into the bottom of the door hinge, not the base of the unit” but it took 24 hours for customer service to get back to him with that response. The company is planning on revising their instructions.

One person complained that the unit he received required bolting on a handle but the top hole for the bold hadn’t been drilled. A small oversight but a very big problem for the owner as he had already thrown out the packaging and was therefore unable to return the unit for exchange.  Something to keep in mind.

Summary

Overall, buyer satisfaction and positive feedback concerning the Whynter WE-211DZ 21 Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler far outweighs the negative comments.  Given that and that this bottle wine cooler is thermoelectric (better for the environment and for the wine), has dual temperature zones, and is well priced for its’ size and features, we have no hesitation in recommending this wine cooler highly.

Review – Edgestar Deluxe 28 Bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator

The Edgestar Deluxe 28 Bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator seems to be very popular and one that many people have purchased.  There was certainly no scarcity of consumer reviews to be found. Most were quite positive but a number of owners had issues with the life span of the unit. If you decide to purchase this wine cooler refirgerator, we recommend getting an extended warranty for it, if that is available, or using a credit card that offers an extended warranty for the purchase.

Comments were “great product for value & quality”; “very happy”; “perfect for my needs”; “fantastic product…highly recommend it”; “very happy with all aspects of this unit”; “excellent choice”; “would purchase again and recommend to a friend”; “fits the bill”; “great wine refrigerator”;  “so impressed with this product”; “delivers a lot of bang for the buck”; and “very happy with my purchase”.

Temperature

A number of owners commented on this wine cooler’s ability to hold the proper temperature, saying that the temperature has been “right on” and “keeps the wine at the perfect temperature”. One owner noted  that “while it doesn’t have a humidity feature, nor does it have a built in thermometer or hygroscope, it performs well”.

The quiet functioning of the unit, common for thermoelectric coolers, got frequent comments.  Most owners found it “very quiet”.  Though one owner stated that it is “not as quiet as we were led to believe. It makes a constant humming sound that we have gotten used to”, another said they “hardly know its running unless sitting right beside it”.

Appearance

Owners like the appearance of this wine cooler, saying “attractive, holds just enough, very stylish…works in any décor”; “looks nice in my kitchen”; “looks great”; and “attractive and small enough to fit inconspicuously in the room”.  One summed it up with “looks nice, has an internal light, holds a fair amount of wine and is inexpensive”.

A nice variation with this wine cooler refrigerator is that wooden shelves are also available for purchase,  which give this wine cooler “more of a classic look”.

Bottle Size Compatibility

A nice comment to hear, given the problem many wine coolers present for storing larger than standard bottles, was “Shelves are adjustable for maximum storage of different-sized wine bottles” .  In fact, only one person from amongst the great number who reviewed this wine cooler refrigerator said “My only objection is that you cannot store any large bottles like champagne or sparkling wines (unless you remove a shelf) and some larger 750ml bottles seem tight.” Storage of larger bottles is obviously not as difficult with this unit as it is with many others.

Life Span

Only one person had a negative review of this wine cooler and her dissatisfaction was related to the life expectancy of the cooler. She said that the 28 bottle deluxe Edgestar wine cooler they owned had died just after the one year warranty ran out. Further, the 16 bottle Edgestar wine cooler that they had purchased for her parents since they were so pleased with their own wine cooler, also died just after the one year point. That doesn’t happen with all Edgestar wine coolers of course…one owner said that he’d “bought over a year ago” and that it was “the perfect cooler for my needs”.  Still, for two Edgestar wine coolers to have both died at just over one year of use, within the same family circle, would cause one to give this brand a second thought.  A fluke?…or not?

Summary

Though there are a vast number of satisfied owners of the Edgestar Deluxe 28 bottle wine cooler refrigerator, and the price is, as one owner said “an excellent unit for someone on a tight budget”, one has to weigh the low price with the possibility that the unit may not function for more than a year.

Satisfaction with the functionality and appearance of this wine cooler refrigerator is certainly apparent and runs high. If you decide to purchase the Edgestar Deluxe 28 Bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator, we recommend getting an extended warranty for it, or using a credit card that offers an extended warranty.

Review – NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectric Wine Cooler

The NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectirc Wine Cooler is a product that many people have purchased. There are a multitude of consumer reviews available for this wine cooler. Most owners gave positive reviews with no issues reported. However, there were a significant number of owners who were dissatisfied with the life span of this wine cooler.

General comments were “”I am very pleased with this unit”; “very affordable”, “love this cooler”, “For the price this is a very good wine cooler”; “works great and is quiet”; “great cooler for the money”; “runs quiet”; “great affordable solution”; “a small wine cooler that does the job”; “great wine cellar”; “still as great as when I first got it”; “great product for your money. You’ll be happy with this choice”; and “works well….until it doesn’t”.

Temperature

Owners like the adjustable temperature feature. Though many found this wine cooler keeps the programmed temperature, some said that it was sensitive to household ambient temperature and that sunlight could raise the temperature 2 or 3 degrees. Another reported that “there was about a two degree flux at times after opening the door and within a few minutes the temperature is back to the programmed setting”.  One person commented on how fast the wine cooler got to the programmed temperature, saying it “got to 54 degree in 30 minutes”. One perceptive owner was able find a partial solution to the temperature fluctuation. She noted that “just a little dust on the back cover sent the internal temp upward”  and said that “when I see the temp go up to 53 or 54 I know it is time to blow out the back cover. I would say I do that once every 3 months”.

Appearance

People who bought this wine cooler all had positive comments about its appearance.  “I love the perfect fit in my dining room and the ambience of the blue internal light”; “The design is very modern, sleek…looks high quality, high style”; “quite stylish”; “slick style”; “this is beautiful”; “gorgeous!!”; “attractive and stylish unit, and will look nice in any kitchen or dining room”; “looks great, small and effective. The LED light adds to the look. Very smooth and sleek”; and “most 18 bottle wine coolers are far more expensive…and don’t look this stylish”.

Bottle Size Compatibility

Unlike many other wine coolers, this unit doesn’t appear to have any problems storing different sized wine bottles. Owners say “The skinnier bottles do fit better but we have 18 of all sizes that fit just fine”; “placed 18 different size bottle of red and white wines inside it without any problem”; “no problem with the size of the wine bottles”; and “you can easily flip over a shelf and then the wide bottles fit perfectly albeit 2 to a shelf”;

Life Span

Out of close to 40 consumer reviews, 7 owners had complaints about the life span of this wine cooler. “Lasted a little over a year”; “one week after the warrantee expired (one year) this wine cooler died”; “worked fine for 9 months, then broke”; “broke after 6 months use”; “broken after about 8 months of use”; “bought this just over a year ago – woke up one morning and it wasn’t working – no cool air, no LED display, no reset button”; “got a lot of enjoyment out of this cooler. It is approximately one year later and the control panel has failed.”

One other note of caution: One owner said “there is a plastic trough on the back of the cooler that collects water and must be cleaned out. Mine overflowed and ruined the finish on the piece of furniture I had it on.”  No one else made any mention of this.

Summary

The NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectric Wine Cooler is stylish, affordable and functions well in maintaining the temperature with only a slight fluctuation due to ambient temperatures or the opening of the cooler door. Fitting different size wine bottles is not a problem. With thermoelectric technology, this bottle wine cooler works quietly. Apparently it is common for these lower cost wine coolers to last only 1-2 years and a significant number of owners complained of this.  Keeping them dusted regularly appears to limit the temperature fluctuations and helps to keep them running well, possibly for a longer time.  Since quite a number of these wine coolers do appear to break down soon after the manufacturer’s warranty expires, if not sooner, If you do choose to buy the NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectric Wine Cooler get an extended warranty or use a credit card that offers an extended warranty.
