Review – Haier HVCE15BBH Built-In or Freestanding 26-Bottle Wine Cellar

We were only able to find a small number of consumer reviews on the Haier HVCE15BBH Built-in or Freestanding 26-Bottle Wine Cellar. Most consumers rated this wine cellar a 4/5, with only one person rating it as 5/5. Even though there are only a small number of reviews, there are a variety of concerns, mostly minor.

Positive comments from owners were “Love this cooler”; “seems solid and well built”; “solid, quiet wine system”; “works great”; and “by far the best deal for a quality wine cooler of this size”.

Temperature

Though several owners are pleased that this wine cellar maintains a constant temperature, one owner says that when her house temperature is over 80 F inside, the wine cellar wouldn’t maintain the temperature she set, saying that the temperature in the unit went to 62 F under these conditions when she had set it for 55F. She did say that it cooled down again when the house cooled at night.

A number of owners commented on how quiet this wine cellar is, saying “Exceptionally quiet”; “very quiet”; and “quieter than expected”. One owner, however, called it “very loud”, saying “It can’t be operating normally” and “we’ve contacted Haier”.  We concur that his unit must not be working normally given the number of owners who report their Haier HVCE15BBH’s as being quiet.

Appearance

Other features that owners like are that this wine cellar unit “fits in handsomely with the other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen”; that it “fits like a glove” under a 15 inch counter; and that the “racks slide very smoothly”. Another owner, however, thinks that Haier skimped a little on the plugs for the holes on the reversible door handle, and dislikes the white plugs on the stainless steel door.

Summary

Overall, the reviews from owners of this wine cellar appear to be far more positive than negative. On the whole, the Haier HVCE15BBH 26-Bottle Wine Cellar would seem to be a good buy, especially for a bottle wine cooler of this size, as long as you don’t mind the white hole plugs on the stainless steel door and that the unit appears to struggle a bit with keeping the set temperature under extreme heat conditions. The price is certainly far better than many wine cellars of this size, possibly because it is compressor run.  This is obviously a good solid unit that many owners are pleased with. So long as you don’t mind the minor issues, the Haier HVCE15BBH 26-Bottle Wine Cellar would be a good purchase.

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.
