Good Value But It Helps to Be Deaf
After looking on line for a 50+ capacity wine cooler and reading several reviews, I decided to buy the unit. First off, the unit has a temp locking feature which doesn't allow for changing temperatures without extra steps to access and change the temp.Also, the wine racks will not hold anything other than a standard size bottle unless you remove one of the racks above the larger size bottle (viz., champagne shape bottle).
Worst feature is the noise. While the unit is attractive enough to be put anywhere, the compressor is louder than an old refrigerator and it cycles on frequently, even when the temps outside are cool, so you can imagine how much it will run when it gets hot outside. I tried putting it in the living room but the noise was too distracting to watch tv or have a conversation so if you buy this unit, keep it in the garage or basement.
Buyer beware
Recently bought Jan 2012. Intially the unit was quiet...with in 30 days the unit made a swooshing noise that has only goten worse. Avanti did have a tech come out...but since the unit turned on/off and cooled properly they would not fix the noise. Be careful...this unit has gotten so bad (in kitchen) that I had to remove due to the overbearing swooshing that resonated throughout the house.
Works Well
I read all the reviews prior to making my chiller purchase and chose this one based on that. We have not had any issues with the cooling capabilities of this chiller and the look fits nicely with our kitchen decor.
