Ivation 24 Bottle Compressor Wine Cooler Refrigerator with Lockable Door

Mikeswife: I love the size of the freezer and the locking feature. I purchased it for my clinic to keep injectable vitamin supplements, but the temperature fluctuates too widely for me to rely on it in case I had a random inspection from the BOP.

May be great for what it's actually designed for, but I don't recommend it for clinic use.

j: Easy set up, looks nice. Downsides are:

1. Way too loud. Turns on every 20 seconds and sounds like the air conditioner. Too loud.

2. Temperature display is far too bright. Can’t adjust or dim this.

3. Bottles are difficult to put in.

Likely going to return this.

Cosmo Cat: Review is based off 2 weeks of owning and my home temp in summer varies 72-80 deg inside with less than 60% humidity (northern CA). I selected this unit because the capacity is what I needed and I prefer a compressor over a thermoelectric cooling device. I also use primarily as storage so I didn't need dual temp as I just place white/sparkling wines in the fridge before serving. I choose 60 deg F for storage which gives me around 55-60% humidity.

Build - feels solid and compressor is securely installed. Door is level and seal is tight all the way around.

Noise - not sure how others can say this is silent, but the compressor makes the typical "refrigerator" sound, but the circulation fan is pretty silent. Depending on where you place it relative to ambient noise and how low you set the temp, you may not notice the compressor noise. The compressor is much smaller than a full size refrigerator so it's not as loud, but the noise is a little higher pitch. If you need complete silence get a thermoelectric cooler but make sure you read up on the trade off.

Accuracy - my unit reports 2 deg higher than actual which is perfectly fine. Over a 24 hour period the temp...

Dennis L. Chamberlain: The complaints cited by a few people did not arise with our 24 bottle cooler. Noise level is quite acceptable, and the temperature is spot on (we tested with a reliable indoor/outdoor thermometer and it was consistently, over several days, within 1 degree of the cooler's temperature). As for the 24 bottle capacity, we'd say that it's more like 22 but we are fine with that. The difference has to do with the very bottom tray where you lay the bottles sideways. We feel you could lay four bottles in there if they were 1/2 bottles, or two if regular 750 litre bottles. And one final note as mentioned by some reviewers - the instructions suggest providing a 2 inch space below the cooler and that would only be possible by putting it up on blocks because the feet are adjustable only by about 1/4 of an inch for leveling purposes. So I called the manufacturer and was told to ignore the 2 inch comment. So we are very pleased with this purchase.

abrazilianabrazilian: It was packed well. Easy to setup because there was no setup - just let it stand for 3 hours and then plugged it in and set the temperature. Almost zero sound (so no idea why some folks said noisy). It fits 24 bottles but some larger bottles have problems fitting. Not sure why the racks don't go all the way down - I guess they wanted to leave space for other stuff in case it's not all wine bottles. Took an hour or so to get down to 55 degrees when full of bottles - the unit looks great - basically this is exactly what I wanted and the price was affordable... if it breaks down the road I will report back, but for now, smooth sailing!
