Sunpentown WC-12 ThermoElectric 12-Bottle Wine Cooler



DON'T BOTHER
This is a piece of junk. It can barely keep wine cool in the winter with the heat off. The fan runs all the time no matter what. Furthermore, when the room temperature is a tad bit above 70 degrees, the light starts flashing along with a constant beeping. The only way to stop this, is to unplug it.

The manufacturer offers no suggestion other than saying it's probably the pc. In my mind "pc" is personal computer, not microprocessor which is probably what is controlling the light flashing and beeping. The manufacturer offers no method of getting a unit which is properly working, even though they shipped the original flashing and beeping unit. They consider it yours because you, well, opened their box. This is the kind of treatment that gives a bad name to internet shopping.

It worked well for a while.
Sure it took a couple days to truly cool stuff, but then it totally died days after the warranty.
Zero. Nothing. Nada.
I'm very sad it was a wedding present with best intentions, and we enjoyed it immensely.
Now this "thing" is in a Florida landfill.

Consider a real refrigerator if you really care about wine temperature.
Refridgerators cost more to operate, but failure is rare, even at the low-end. Add up your costs and you will conclude as I have that this technology is unreliable. Search the internet and you will discover many like me.
Say no.

So sad...

width & depth dimensions are reversed
I had to return it because it was very deep and very skinny, just the opposite of how the specifications list its dimensions. It would not fit in the space where I'd intended to put it.
