   10/26/20 – I am reviewing this product based on the arrival condition and setup. I will update this review after the unit sits upright for a few days to make sure all the coolant returns to the proper place. It is recommended to let it sit for 2 hours prior to turning on in the instruction manual. A more cautious method is to let it sit the same number of days it took to ship.The product was packaged very securely, however, upon first inspection it looks like I have a large but slight dent in the top of my unit. The packaging was not damaged but I would guess someone stepped on the box and the pressure was sent to the top of the unit. We will see if this will have any negative effects. It also has a small scratch on the top.The unit arrives with the door handles off, it requires 4 Phillips head screws to attach. The mounting mechanism is a plastic tab inside the door. If you put even the slightest amount of extra force the plastic tab will break and fall into the door and you will have to DIY a connection. This happened to be with 1 of the 4 bolts. I used a longer bolt of the same thread size and a washer to connect it, as seen in the photos. This tab should be metal or a similar method to how I constructed it rather than a thin piece of plastic. The doors are slightly misaligned, I am sure you can adjust it to be even but it’s another thing that should be correct from the factory.Overall, the unit looks very nice. I purchased the stainless steel version. The handles are much more if a shiny brushed steel and don’t match the door exactly. As I said above, I will update this review to comment on how it works temperature after it has sit for a few days.10/29/20 – After waiting for any coolant to settle, I plugged it in and the temps read roughly 70 degrees F. It look roughly 30 minutes to come down to 55 and 48. The actual compressor really isn’t that loud. All of my other mini fridges and chest freezers are much louder, however, the actuator that turns it on/off is pretty loud and obnoxious. You do lose your temp when you open the door since its so small, but it quickly comes back down to temp. The temperature LEDs are obnoxiously bright and I can’t find a way to turn them off or dim them. They are way brighter than the inside LEDs which leave a bit to be desired. Ultimately it is cooling my wine appropriately. I may add a test bottle of water with a thermometer to really test it’s ability to hold temperature. Time will tell. Will update appropriately.11/05/20 – After having this cooler for a couple weeks I’m updating my review to 4 stars. It seems to keep temperature, although I haven’t measured it for accuracy. It does turn on/off quite frequently so it seems to stay within a small range. So far so good. Removing on star for the silly handle install mechanism and overly bright front LEDs. If anything goes astray I’ll be updating. But for now this is working as it should and looks nice.12/31/20 – I’ve been wondering where a sound was coming from for awhile now. It’s an electric arc sound and it occasionally comes from this cooler. I’ve been standing near it while it happens when the compressor kicks in occasionally. It’s a bit worrying to say the least and is quite loud. Will contact the manufacturer because the sound alones makes this seem like a fire hazard.

   The media could not be loaded.  UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW:Since my initial experience of receiving a damaged wine refrigerator that was most likely caused by logistic mishandling and then not being able to get through to customer service, a few top-notch representatives of PyleUSA stepped in immediately and were willing to do all they could to send me a new unit. Once the new unit was received, they followed through with amazing customer service to ensure my wine refrigerator arrived and uncompromised. And while the original unit I ordered was not in-stock to replace, it was replaced with another style and I could not be happier with it. My new wine refrigerator is a quiet unit and looks spectacular in the home. The lighting is very pretty but wished it would stay on longer, as it would be a nice illuminating accent in the home when we are gone or sleeping. Also, some wine bottles will not fit if they have a slightly longer neck but most of mine did. But overall, fridge is beautiful and would highly recommend once to anyone!I strongly believe that as a result of these individuals who were able to come through for me and to quickly remedy the situation, I now have a new perspective on the company and to their willingness to accommodate their customers. I also believe what happened in the transporting of my unit is not indicative of the quality of their merchandise but more of a logistic challenge that most likely caused the damage. Perhaps this situation can be an experience to build on for the company and protect their refrigerators by adding additional packing foam to safeguard against logistic mishandling.Thank you Simon and team. I am grateful to you all.ORIGINAL ISSUE:Received my product but in a damaged box. Once opened, found broken bracket and wires. Called NutriChef’s number (hard to find, hard to really dig on the internet for it – found in the BBB). I had several reps tell me they need to take this up with a “specialist” and will contact me back. No one did. I called 3 days later and pushed to get an email started with them. They asked for an invoice and photos, which I sent to them. No response. Called a 3rd time, spoke with a “specialist” who gave me another runaround, never contacted me back. So, I never hooked-up my fridge and will wasn’t able to fully see how it operated. It looked beautiful, but because I received no help from the company, I will never buy from them again. There’s your warning. I gave the review of the fridge SOLELY based on the absolutely terrible customer service from Nutrichef.

   So far very happy with our wine chiller! We can hardly hear it running in our kitchen when the compressor kicks in- our main refrigerator is louder than the wine cooler! Don’t understand why some reviewers say it is “very loud/noisy”- perhaps they did not let unit stand for at least two hours after unpacking it and placing it where they wanted to install it, per the instructions before plugging it in. We allowed the unit to stand for 24 hours after locating it where we wanted it to place it, and making sure it was level, before plugging it in and adjusting the dual-zone temperatures, and were surprised how quiet it is.

   I bought the two zone wine cooler for my wife as a Christmas present, and she was thrilled. Unit worked great! After about 18 months, the unit stopped cooling in both zones. I emailed customer support, and prepared for a long discussion on warranties, etc. To my pleasant surprise, Sarah got back to me within hours and researched my issue. Even though the unit was out of warranty, she offered to replace it. Within two weeks of my first reporting the problem, I had a replacement unit on my doorstep! She kept me informed at every step along the way.In these times of non-existent customer support, this was fantastic! Thank you, Sarah! I will definitely do business with them in the future!
