SPT Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler with Heating, 8 Bottles

Looks great on the counter top. It cools the bottle perfectly, but I hate the noise. It just does not let up!

I bought this cooler because it fits in a cabinet in my living room. I was worried that it had few reviews, but took the chance, because of its size and price - figured I couldn't go wrong. To my surprise, it works very well. It's quiet and keeps it temperature well, and its appearance is very clean, so it would go well with many decors.I might just buy a second - I think I can manage to fill it, too.

Where do I start? Our experience with Sunpentown has been awful, including a series of emails filled with semantics where nothing was accomplished.We purchased this wine cooler for white wine. From day one, this unit has never gotten colder than 57 degrees F despite how cold you set the temp. Typically, it ranges between 59 and 60 degrees F.In our emails with Sunpentown, we were asked questions such as "what temperature is the house set at?" and "How much space is around the unit?". Are you kidding me? What temperature is our home? Did we buy a wine cooler or merely a metal box with a handle to store our wine in? Our home is a cool 76 degrees in the summer. This should not affect the function of the cooler.In the item description of this unit, it is called 'compact' for 'counter top use'. Why would we buy a compact unit that cannot be placed in a compact space? The representative pointed to the word 'freestanding' in the manufacturers description, which is NOT mentioned in their Amazon listing. He defined it as 'the unit sitting by itself with nothing around it." Oxford Dictionary defines it as 'not relying on or linked to anything else.' As in, not mounted or attached to anything. So Sunpentown is creating their own definitions for words that didn't even appear in the item description. For testing purposes we have the unit 'freestanding' with 36" on either side, 8" in the back and 12" on top. It is still 60 degrees!!I suppose the real problem is the technology, though they're not admitting it. It's thermo-electric, so there is no compressor. Having said that, I'm going to take a wild guess that it probably warms red wine just fine. But that's not why we bought it!This has been our worst Amazon purchase experience. We have gotten nowhere with Sunpentown, and after the email shenanigans with them we are outside the 30-day return period with Amazon for this obviously defective item.

Great and inexpensive product!

This has very little capability to cool. It runs and runs and doesn't get down to, for instance, 64 deg in a 68 deg house. Great size for us, though

Attention: Amazon.com, The product that I purchased Sunpentown 8-bottle Wine cooler did not meet up to the criteria that I set. I wanted a wine cooler for around 8 bottles and that would operate "quietly". The Sunpentown unit was not "quiet". However, I called the Sunpentown company and they offered me a replacement unit that is being processed.

Went through two coolers. Each defective.

Well, it didn't even last 6 months.The internal fan that blows air across the cooling radiator stopped working so it ices up and doesn't cool. Wow, all that price and it didn't last anything. I would not recommend this to anyone. Heck, it had a hard time even keeping the temp below 62 F.This one is a no go / it is a waste of money.
