Did lots of research, this one met my needs and works well. Good choice
Arrived well packaged and when expected. Takes about 30 mins to ‘fully unpack and tie a two person job getting it off the plinth and lower packaging. I Installed this about a week ago after letting it sit for a few days. First job was to swap the door opening to the other side which was simple with the right tools; Note to take the door off undo the top screws and lift the door off rather than from the bottom as the instructions note, it’s far easier and less likely to be damaged. Get yourself a small step stool to get to the top bolts /screws. I found the screw were overtight and started to strip as I tried to undo them with a well fitting screw driver. Fortunately I had the right spanner /wrench to get them off as this stared. (Heads are screw/bolts). My advice use a wrench from the get go. MAUFACTURER please review and stop over tightening these screws at factory pls!!We are in San Diego and it’s warm, however, the Fridge got to the target temperature within 30 mins or so. Very happy with that. I have calibrated digital thermometers ‘on the top and bottom zones (52 and 63 respectively) and all was initially well. After a day however both zones drifted by two degrees (to the lower). It’s stayed that way since. I have raised the temperature on both zones by 2 degrees to get the actual temperatures I want.Storage capacity was I expected, not perfect to capacity as I have some “non standard” bottle sizes. However I bought it knowing that and I’m quite happy. Note I’m about 60% full on red and 20% on white. More is on the way and as I fill up the fridge I will comment on it’s ability to stay in the target temperature zone.Do note the Red ,lower zone capacity is only about 10% higher than the upper white zone so don’t get this fridge if drink/store mostly red and little white.Overall as I expected and pretty happy with it. Would buy it againI would give it 4.8 stars if I could - 0.2 off for over tight screws/ door removal instructions.Will update in a few months

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent wine fridge!
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023
Size: Black-164 BottleVerified Purchase
When it comes to wine fridges, there are many options, going to very expensive. But look no further than this Whynter 164 bottle unit! Looks nice, works great and is a bargain comparatively.

It came very well packaged, no transit damage. Has adjustable feet which I found useful since it was going to be placed up against a wall and on carpet.

Shelving slides nicely for this price point, and wines in pinot bottle format fit without issue. The dual zones work great; one for whites and one for reds. The blue lighting is pretty cool too, although I think every model has this. The door opens with a quality feel and the glass is smoked which adds to the luxury appearance.

One small observation - the top display shelf wouldn’t quite fit some heavy duty 750 ml trophy bottles; I had to remove a shelf in order to accommodate. I’m fine with this as I wanted my trophy bottles to show!

My unit runs near silently, and I’m pleased with its operation. Overall I think this is an outstanding value, looks great, runs perfect and we’re very happy with it. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Wine Storage Box
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021
Size: Dark Grey-92 BottleVerified Purchase
This product from Whynter was delivered in a timely manner, just as promised. It is very well-packed for transport, but you should probably have a friend/helper to assist you in getting the reefer off the pallet it arrives attached to. Also, pay attention to the clear directions on the outside of the packaging before you put it on a hand truck to move it around inside your home (it is delivered to the closest clear spot inside your front door - the delivery guys don't do any unpacking or installation). It was easy to set up and the workmanship looks great to me. I waited overnight before plugging it in to ensure that all the refrigerant was settled in the system - but that was probably overkill as the recommendation is to allow 4 hours for that part of the installation. Make sure your plugin is within about 6 feet and that it is of the "grounded" variety. Set up is simple, about fifteen minutes to arrange the shelves and load it up and you're good to go! Only possible drawback is hearing refrigerant noises (low background noise) in a location where heretofore there was no noise at all. I expect I'll get used to it. I've had it about a week now and it's working well.

Size: Black-166 BottleVerified Purchase
This thing is pretty good. No, it doesn’t hold 166 bottles, but you know that by now if you’re reading reviews. Shelves are also tight top to bottom so we’ve scraped some labels off a few bottles (of course 100 dollar bottles too). Wish it had another light as you don’t get much light past row 3.

Racks are great quality though and unit seems well built. I have two thermometers in it and it maintains temperature very well. Makes a bit of noise, like a metallic fan type of rattle. I guess it’s okay though.

Ours came with a massive dent in the bottom. Amazon didn’t do anything when I called except connect me directly to the manufacturer. Manufacturer took a while to ship a replacement part which won’t be simple to install. Could have sent the unit back or not accepted but didn’t want to mess with the hassle.

Would I buy again? Probably.

This is what I would consider a no-frills unit, but it meets its purpose at a great price. I bought two of these as an alternative to a wine storage unit. 3 months in, I've updated my initial 4-star rating to 5 stars because of the value.

Pros: Replaces a wine storage unit. As far as I'm concerned, wine storage units are a scam in terms of the number of cases they say you can fit, and which also suck because, to maximize the space, you have to store all your wine in boxes, so you have no visibility as to what's in there and it's pain to find anything, i.e., stacks of cases of wine (who has the time to inventory your wine collection, update labels on each box with the contents, etc.). You also have to drive to your unit, decide what you want to bring home, drag the cases out, load them again at home in your wine fridge, etc. I've probably lost days of my life to my wine storage unit.

So having these units at home solves all that for me. It's keeping the wine at proper temp and making the wine easily accessible with the shelving, and it's IN MY HOUSE. And the price -- I'm not sure there are any other brands producing this style unit in this price range. Additional of electricity is de minimis. I hooked up a meter to test this, but based on my pre-existing wine fridges, I don't think the cost is more than $5 a month (you'd spend that on gas just to get to the storage unit).

Neither pro nor con: Shelving - I have very similar fridges from an older brand that are no longer being made, which were a notch nicer in terms of the roll-out shelving but which cost $150 more five years ago (so would probably be more like $300+ more expensive with inflation).

The shelving on these is a thick metal wire, with a wood front (as clearly provided in the description, which I appreciated). The wire shelving works fine and actually might allow for a bit more space between the shelves, so that they pull out more easily (vs. all-wood shelving). The all-wood shelves on my older model have bowed down over time, which is a significant hassle in terms of pulling the shelves out and pushing them back and frequently damages the labels. I'm hopeful that the metal wire won't bow, but we'll see. The shelves slide on plastic grooves that are built into the inside of the unit. Not super smooth but they're fine. There are two downsides to these shelves though.

Cons
1) They don't really have any side support that would keep a bottle from falling off the edge. Twice while I was trying to squeeze a bottle to the back of a shelf, the front edge bottle got bumped and it felt as though it might fall off.

2) Metal is obviously a conductor of everything, including vibration, so I have a slight concern that the rumbling of the fridge motor, as conducted through the wire shelving, could over years impact the quality of the wine. How realistic or noticeable this is, I'm not sure, but high-end fridges do have vibration damping technology.

The other critique is that the fridge is a bit noisier than my current fridges. I don't think I'd want this in my kitchen or TV room, but it's not terrible and locating it there wouldn't be a deal breaker. I'm putting this in the basement, so that's kind of a non-factor for me, although if it had been quieter than my current fridge, I'd probably have it located in a more convenient/prominent position in the house.
