NewAir24" Wine Cooler, 46 Bottle Dual Zone Wine Refrigerator, Built-in Small Wine Fridge | Stainless Steel Mini Fridge with Reversible Door and Lock, for Home, Kitchen Cabinet, Bar Cabinet

I upgraded from a Haier 30 bottle wine cooler that had worked wonderfully for over a decade. The NewAir arrived in great packaging and great shape. A dolly helped move it from the front door to the closet location I am using. Set up was easy. It was necessary to reverse the door to right opening. The instructions for how to do this were a little sparse but my wife and I figured it out. It does take two people to reverse the door as it is heavy, glass and would be prone to damage if only one person were doing the reversal. The wood shelves of the cooler are a bit thin and less substantial that I might wish for. Standard Bordeaux bottles fit just fine and you can read the labels when you pull out the drawers. Couldn't do that with the Haier. Very pleased.

We've had this wine fridge for over two years now and I love it now as much as when I first purchased it! It is still in great working condition - keeping the dual zones cooled at their proper temperature. It is a very quiet wine fridge - we have an open concept living/dining and I never hear it. For the price, we feel we got a great value and the fact that its still going strong over 2 years later, makes us feel like we chose the right product. I would highly recommend this wine fridge to anyone looking for a reliable, nice looking, moderately size wine fridge - for the price, you can't beat it!

This product is represented for either built-in or free-standing installations - neither of which are appropriate. The unit has an undocumented feature (sarcasm intended) that will destroy your flooring materials, subfloor, and if left for a period of time in operation, your floor joists as well.Purchased and placed in operation in our dining room in May 2019, we were initially pleased (and somewhat impressed) with the product. Installed free-standing, with the rear of the unit facing a wall, the unit performed admirably until we decided to rearrange the room and move the product to another location. When we moved the unit away from the wall we discovered, much to our chagrin, water had seeped from the unit at the rear and destroyed approximately 2 square feet of our (antique, 85 year old) wooden floor.Subsequent to the clean-up of the standing water, we consulted the product documentation and warranty only to find no mention of a drain requirement and all warranty claims require the 'purchaser' to pay the vendor shipping of the unit - both ways - to determine if the product is faulty or repairable. In other words, a warranty claim investigation could cost as much as 50% of the purchase price of the product just to allow the vendor the opportunity to assess the issue. Disappointment and resignation that the age old adage of 'buyer beware' is as prevalent today as when the Consumer Protection Agency was marketing their reason for existing 50 years ago.So what caused the leak? When we removed the rear access panel (covering the lower third of the unit), we discovered a condensation pan fed by an approx. 1/4" (I.D.) tube from a collection vessel molded/attached to the interior of the unit. This condensation waste pan was full and overflowing and the obvious cause of the leak and floor damage. The condensation waste pan measures approx. 2" wide by 2" tall by 3" deep with a capacity of less than a US Cup of liquid. We have since - unscientifically - measured the drip rate of the condensate to be approx. one-quarter cup per day; virutally guaranteeing this receptacle will overflow within five to seven days of continuous operation. And, the leak is at the rear of the unit, in small continuous amounts, that are absorbed by any permeable surface upon which it is placed. Water is insidious and destructive when left to remain on a porous surface unabated; rot ensues, mold grows, remediation is required, money leaves your pocket.The condensation waste pan is attached to the product frame using two screws, oriented horizontally, on opposing sides of the bottom of the pan; only one screw is accessible; the pan cannot be removed. Emptying the pan requires one to transfer the condensate to another vessel by use of an absorption material such as a towel or sponge. The condensation waste pan is located amongst the compressor, tubing, thermostats, and electrical wiring and connections. Although I haven't recently confirmed this fact, I continue to believe that water and electrical contact is ill-advised, a health hazard, and a potential fire source.And by the way, the temperature in the lower section of the unit (larger; 2/3) must be lower than the temperature of the upper section (smaller; 1/3). Meaning that your white wine supply will always be greater than your red wine supply. Why?, well heat rises; a well known, proven fact. Setting the lower section to a temperature equal to 50°F, and the upper section to a temperature of 45°F, will result in an actual temperature in the upper section of 50°F. We verified this, somewhat scientfically, with independent thermometer/hygrometer equipment. This is just a PSA and not necessarily a fault of the manufacturer; however, this fact is not disclosed in the product documentation.It is unconscionable the potential for this eventuality is not discussed, mentioned, or otherwise disclosed in the product documentation by the manufacturer or the vendor. It is arguably negligent the manufacturer and vendor stipulate this product is suitable for built-in installation. We will listen to an argument that when installed free-standing there is opportunity to recognize water leaking from the unit; but realistically, who moves such an appliance once it is placed in operation other than to perhaps dust and vacuum once every few years? #amirightWe have since modified the unit with an external condensate waste pan (which is appreciated greatly by the spiders and other thirsty insects you know are in your house but choose to ignore) by extending the condensate waste tube/hose. This is unsightly but cost effective. Really, spend over US$ 700.00 for a refrigerator only to spend US$ HUGE to repair your flooring and US$ 10.00 to field modify and class-up your house with open water pans on the floor. That is what you will face if you purchase this product; which, again, we caution you not to do.

Listen to the reviews that say this thing is loud. Not annoying loud just seems to run constantly with an odd gurgling noise. It looks very nice, works great so far and keeps the wine at a perfect temperature. I just don't understand why it runs so much and gurgles all the time. We have it in a laundry room so it is away from the living area so it doesn't bother us but if you put this in a living area I think it would be somewhat annoying. Overall we like the aesthetics and the way it works but not sure I would buy this one again.

So far, so good...shipping time was very slow, but they were upfront about that before my order was placed, so no worries there. I reversed the door to swing the other direction and it was very simple (basically remove and re-attach 5 screws). I noticed after I reversed it that there seemed to be a gap in the seal, but a slight adjustment to the lower hinge solved that problem and it now seals perfectly, so just be aware of that if you also decide to flip the door. You can hear it kick on every once in a while, but it's not loud...I'd say it's louder than the normal refrigerator, but quieter than the washing machine and dryer...roughly the same as a quiet dishwasher, and only for a few minutes at a time. I'm having a pantry built around it, so I'll be curious to see if that dampens the minimal noise further. Obviously, I can't speak to its durability yet, as I've only had it for a few days, but I will update my review if necessary to reflect any issues. Looks great, cooled to the desired temperatures quickly.

Have had this unit since July 2015. It runs very quietly in a great room that is all hardwood floors and noise generally is magnified. Original unit had a faulty electronic control unit and company replaced the unit with no charge within the first 30 days. The temperature control panel is challenging to adjust the temperatures for the different zones, but nevertheless the unit works well. I have not tested temperatures in the two zones with a digital thermometer, but the white wines on top are noticeably colder than the red wines in the bottom zone, so for me that is just fine. Very pleased so far. I can easily get 40+ bottles in the unit depending on shape, but not likely to ever get in 46. Not that big of a deal for me.

As the manufacturer suggests, use a level (any size) as close as possible where you will place the fridge and adjust the bottom turn pads. It is quieter than a large kitchen fridge. I have it placed under the overhang (9 inches) of the kitchen island. The slightly larger round bottles will not fit into the fridge, but other usual bottles will fit in. The fridge is 6 inches wide from the front view. Its purpose is for built-in under the counter top, but I use it this way. Nearly out of sight and nearly out of mind - until I want a drink of the fruited vine. So thankful for New Air.

We bought this wine cooler because it was the only one that could fit in the space under our island.When we first bought it we were very happy with our purchase, as it is an aesthetically pleasing appliance and it fit perfectly into our spot under the kitchen counter.A few days ago, the cooler completely stopped working. No lights turn on, refrigeration is shot, its completely dead.Warranty covers you for 1 year. Ours failed this way in 18 months.So, if you are OK with practically "renting" this cooler for $1,300/18 months then go ahead and buy it. Otherwise I would not recommend it.I thought maybe if I emailed New Air customer service, they'd propose a solution but I have not received a response back from them. So I'm not stuck with a cooler that doesn't work and no where to buy parts.

We have had this for just over one year with no issues. Very attractive.
