NutriChef 18-Bottle Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler - PKTEWCDS1802

Kindle Customer: Purchased this in Feb 2020 and by Aug 2023 it is completely worthless. I guess it worked well enough in the beginning, but within the first year I noticed it struggled hard to maintain temperature, and over time it got worse and worse. I also want to mention that it is loud and it puts out a noticeable amount of heat. These days the readout says 76/63 and will not go down a single degree even though the fridge sits empty. I paid way too much for this lemon, don't buy it.

Amazon Customer: When the fridge worked it was great, but when it stopped, NutriChef support was terrible. First it took close to a week to respond then they mention that since it was out of warranty, they cannot process any replacent...this is understandable, but then they state they have no repair depot in Canada and do not even provide any suggestions for repair. Only solution is the dump for the fridge.

HILLMX: Bien la cava, bonita, buen tamaño, los únicos 2 peros que le pongo es que no caben botellas de vino grandes y se empaña un poco el vidrio con temperaturas de 12 y 16 grados respectivamente.

pbGuy: Received my NutriChef 24-bottle Dual Zone Cooler on 7/29/19. Setup same day in kitchen area (hardwood floor & good ventilation), and filled Cooler.
1) Delivery & packaging: Was on hand to receive; Amazon's delivery team let me inspect shipping box for any noticeable, shipping damage before box lowered from truck. Found 1 minor, box gouge which didn't seem to have caused interior damage. After lowering box from truck, delivery team allowed me to open box around the gouge; no Cooler damage, or blemish, was found in this immediate area.
[Recommend completing an initial inspection before accepting from delivery team. …I’ve read where some have found shipping damage after opening box and inspecting beforehand, would permit delivery refusal, if unacceptable damage found.]
On my own, removed Cooler from shipping box and did not find any exterior dents, or blemishes. (…exhaled a significant sigh of relief)
Regarding shipment packaging, found it better than expected as Cooler’s exterior was fully cushioned, with styrofoam, inside the shipping box. Packaging could have been more robust, but was sufficient. (Shipment damage will most likely be caused by transit...

Anna Marie: The racks restrict the upright bottle storage as the bottles are tough to insert into this side rack. I'm not sure why they even have this rack, it's not a travel cooler, so little chance of a bottle tipping over. It's just annoying and I'd like there to be no rack in this area as you cannot easily reach in and pull out a bottle that is not in the front position.

Not much flexibility in the temperature adjustment. You WILL enjoy your wine at between 46-64 for the upper level and between 54-64 in the lower section, regardless if the bottle is already opened and it's white, or not. I would have enjoyed being able to determine the temperature of my wine without such narrow presets. And, I would have liked to make the larger lower compartment the colder section just for the upright bottles. Be careful to plan on these presets and be sure that is what you expect. For people who are used to storing their wine in a regular refrigerator, these temps may feel a bit warm.

I've never been a fan of creating a product with lots of built in restrictions so I'm still getting used to the cooler overall. But I will say that the unit is very attractive, the settings are challenging...

Ajit: The product was packaged well and arrived in good condition. The LED lights are attractive and when left on in a dark room add to the ambiance. The interior light does not stay on till shut off and shuts off after a while.
Only small downside is the heat generated from the cooler is significant. If you stand next to it there is noticeable heat given off. It is good cooler and works fine however. So far so good but it has only been few weeks in use.

BRON: This was a great deal on a two zone cooler. Other models were considerably more expensive. The unit is compact, stylish, and functions as expected. Although we like it, there are several things that I feel could be improved.

Firstly, the larger, bottom zone (holds 12) has a minimum temperature of 54°, which although plenty low enough for reds and some rosés, is too high for most whites. So you're forced to put the whites in the top (holds 6). If you have more whites in your current collection you're out of luck.
This is a minor inconvenience perhaps, but still should be noted.

Also, the holding areas for bottles are meant for only standard size wine bottles. If the bottle you have is a bit longer or wider than usual, it may not fit in the cooler at all. This is irritating, as many bottles these days are not of standard size.

Lastly, I recommend being extremely, ridiculously careful when you install the door handle. It warns you not to overtighten, but as soon as you feel any tension at all back off the screwdriver.
My handle went on loose because of an extra 1/16th turn so I put a few pieces of foam behind the brackets and it fits fine now. My fault,...
