Stainless Steel NewAir Compressor Wine Refrigerator Cooler

SoccerMomSoccerMom: I love the look! The temperature stays consistent within 1 degree, but the racks don’t leave much room for all bottles. One row should fit 5 bottles but it is too tight for normal bottles, only fitting 4 on each row. It’s quiet, but then it is in my garage! Not as good as the one I replaced after 20 years when one side of my old one stopped cooling.

Billy Cheung: Works as described. Temperature fluctuates slightly as the compressor goes on and off - but generally keeps pretty close to what we have set it at (55F). The only thing is that it really doesn't hold 5 bottles across on each row - I find that for the majority of cases it only holds 4 unless the bottles are uniquely 'skinnier'. I have max'd out at 28 bottles at the moment. That's about it. Otherwise, looks and works great.

Reno: It's very quiet but could keep things a little colder.

This thing is a beast. It's lasted 8 years so far. My wine is sitting happy and I've finally just purchased the UV cling for the door. I still use humidity beads to keep the corks from drying out. Damned impressed by this thing!

Note: Sites, including Amazon, claim the "Insulated glass doors protect against UV rays," but I checked directly with NewAir and they confirmed that the glass provides no UV protection. I'll be buying some UV protective film to stick to the front of this, easy fix.

As of about 4 years in I'm pretty happy with this fridge! It's still kicking and the thermostat/hygrometer I added to monitor things indicates the fridge is still going strong! The only thing is it's way louder now. I can kind of hear that weird gritty coolant sound when I open the fridge, but it doesn't seem to affect the cooling yet. The sound is maybe similar to when you open the freezer and there are crinkly ice sounds.

I did end up adding a square plastic panel to cover the controls as my roommates kept bumping into it and changing the temp....

Thomas R. Moorer: This is a perfect wine cooler after having disappointing results with two earlier "Thermoelectrics" This is a real fridge with a compressor (Nearly silent). The model I bought arrived in good packaging. (Remember to never turn one of these things upside down when you unpack - you might break the top hinge.) The dimensions given were accurate, including the hinge which protrudes above the top. It cools to where you set it. Two minor points - the holes drilled in the door for the handle were in the wrong place, so I bought a couple of inexpensive cabinet knobs which worked fine. Also none of these things will hold the advertised number of bottles if you have oversized burgundy/pinot noir bottles. You should never fill a wine cooler chock a block full anyway. This one has a lower shelf which will hold even champagne bottles. if you need extra room, just take out a shelf.

Debbie Lee Wesselmann: This NewAir wine refrigerator works well to protect my wine through temperature-controlled storage, and it looks good while it's doing it. The stainless steel frame, racks, and the long stainless handle create an elegant, contemporary look that still allows the wine to be the focal point through the glass door. I was most worried about the noise that this would generate, but those fears proved groundless -- more on that later. It measures 32" H (33" at top of hinge) x 17" W x 18" D (not including the handle.)

The wine cooler is easy to set up. All you have to do is remove the packing material, screw on the handle, and plug it in. You have to wait 30 minutes before doing anything with it, and in that time, the interior temperature went from 72 degrees F to 54 degrees F -- pretty efficient cooling! I like that the LED digital controls allow me to specify a specific temperature so that it can be geared toward either red or white wine storage and within my own specified range. The display will be able to tell me if the refrigerator is failing because the temperature will go up (or down, I suppose.) The condenser kicks on when the interior temperature...
