Koolatron WC12G Slim Countertop 12-Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cellar, Black Review

Koolatron WC12G Slim Countertop 12-Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cellar, BlackWhile the product seems decent, I had a terrible time with receiving it in one piece. The first shipment which came Ground UPS resulted in a corner of the refrigerator cracked off of it. Apparently the folks who send it out are highly opposed to actually wrapping it for shipment since it came in the box that you would find on the shelf in a store -- without any additional packing.I called Amazon and told them and they said they'd send out another one overnight (but I would need to send back the broken one, which I did). I asked them to take some care to pack the one they were overnighting and the agent send she would add it to her notes to the shippers. Low and behold, the replacement fridge came overnighted free of charge, but again they did not back it for shipment.This time instead of having the corner cracked off, there was simply a hair-line crack on that same corner.It was spared because apparently overnight shipping requires less handling and bouncing around than Ground shipping.

Both models in spite of lack of care by the seller to pack it for cross country shipment worked when I plugged them in, but I will be curious for how long the wine refrigerator with the hairline crack will work since all of the jarring during shipment will surely have an impact on electronics. Unfortunately, since I had a custom build on my kitchen cabinets, I am stuck with this machine and just holding my breath that it will continue to work for a long while.

I would advise anyone who is even remotely thinking to buy this machine to look elsewhere if you want to spend money and receive something in one piece. Just a suggestion especially if you don't enjoy banging your head off the wall talking to attendants and re-wrapping returns.

I was quite inspired to write this review and hopefully spare someone a lot of trouble.

Product Description:
With a 12-bottle capacity, this stylish wine cellar elegantly stores and displays a personal collection of the finest wines, keeping them safe and ready to enjoy. Its ultra-quiet thermal-electric cooling system avoids vibrations caused by compressor cooling systems. Such vibrations disturb the sediments in wine, disrupting the aging process. Without vibration, the stored wine can age naturally. The wine cellar provides a freestanding design and a double tempered-glass door with a professional handle. Five slide-out wire chrome storage racks keep the bottles organized, while the interior light with an on/off switch helps showcase the collection. Other details include adjustable temperature control from 43 to 64 degrees F, an advanced heat-dissipation system, automatic defrost, and energy-efficient operation. The sleek, compact wine cellar measures 11-3/5 by 20-4/5 by 26 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
