Summary: Chiller Stopped Chilling
Comment: I've had this wine chiller for a little over a year. It all of a sudden stopped getting cold. I called Avanti; I was told that they don't know how to troubleshoot. So I asked if this is now garbage because they don't know how to fix it and the service rep said yes. From what I have read many people have had this same problem. I will not buy another Avanti product.

Summary: The Chiller
Comment: I am pleased with the Avanti wine chiller at this point. Even though it was damaged a bit during delivery, cabinet bent and dented, the unit is operating as it is suppose to. I received the unit in a very timely manner and was offeered a chance to return the unit when I reported the damage. I chose to keep the unit because of its operation and the fact that I ordered it to be built into our new kichen, which it was. Although one might want your wines a bit more cold at times, this wine chiller does just that very well, chill.

Summary: great wine chiller
Comment: It arrived, I got it out of the box, plugged it in and it worked fine. The only downside I might see to it is that the switch for the light is inside, in the back behind the top bottle. I would like it better to be able to switch the light on & off from the outside, but hey, for the price it's great.

Summary: Rip Off
Comment: Too small for different tpyes of wine bottles. When I called Customer Sevice they said it fits only standard sizes bottles. No where does it say it only fits standard size bottles. There is no such thing anymore as standard size bottles. If you buy wine almost every bottle is shaped differently. It is also is too small for a Champagne bottle. There is not enough room between the shelves to fit the bottles so I had to take out two shelves which now makes it a 6-8 bottle capacity.

Summary: Does a good job...
Comment: I think I have the previous model of this cooler. At the time I bought it, I read a few reviews where someone was mad that theirs was DOA, and a couple others who expected refigerator-quality cooling from it: they plugged it in and watched how long it took it to get down to 35 degrees. Guess what - it won't. The best the thermoelectric cooling unit can do is about 20 below ambient room temperature... Which is a lot better than room temperature for wine. Plus, since it doesn't draw major amps like a compressor would, I put mine on a small battery backup that I had left over from upgrading my computer's UPS, and the cooler would run for a couple hours when our electric service would be off for a while during storms, etc.
I've had it at least 3 years now and it's going great. One thought is that since the whole thing is electronics-based, maybe it really ought to be plugged into a UPS (or any kind of surge protector) to get the maximum life out of it.
