Haier HVTS04ABB 4-Bottle Wine Cellar, Black



haier wine cooler
The cooler works great. The digital temp. setting only flucuates 1 degree and serves my purpose well. I highly recommend this wine cooler.

Love it!!!!!
I absolutely love it! I wish it was a little longer in depth so it could hold an opened bottle with the stopper. But it
keeps the temperature right on and is very quiet. Love the led light too! I would definitely recommend this to a friend. I will probably be buying one for my daughter soon!

Returns dept item sold as NEW? Tsk, tsk.
The unit showed up with a label, I eventually discovered, stating it was shipped from the 'Amazon returns dept'. WTF? It had scratches, mars, dings in the metal, etc. That ain't new, so why was it advertised as such?

I took it out of the box anyway, noting said abnormalities (along with a slightly askew door I might add) plugged it in, and tried to get the temp down to the display minimum; not a chance. Folks, this is NOT a Carnot cycle device; rather, it uses integrated circuits (Piezo crystals, I believe) to cool air based on a fixed temperature difference, which means you're at the mercy of your local climate / house temp. Which is fine if you live in the Great White North, but you're SOL if you're in south Texas, like myself.

It's not a bad looking unit and seems to be fairly well made, and would probably be fine for red wines (or Saki :-). But I'm still so pissed that Amazon and/or their subcontractors had the nerve to send out as new what was clearly...
