Review on 🍷 Koolatron WC12DZ Dual Zone Thermoelectric Cooler - 12 Bottle Capacity Wine Cellar with Digital Temperature Controls, Silent Cooling, 4 Removable Shelves - Black/Silver by Damon Atonyo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What's not to like? Well, mainly management.

Five stars for the noise level, which is not entirely accurate. noise NO. The controls are handy, it comfortably holds 20 bottles, and it looks good. Edit: I was able to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Easy. First. Now it's Celsius or nothing. Not a big problem as the conversion (for us Americans who aren't used to modern measurements) is easy enough. However, there is a more serious problem: it is difficult, if not impossible, to raise the temperature. My temperature is currently 16 degrees Celsius, which is too cold for the only red wine we buy. I figured the 18C (64F) ceiling was too low to start with. . . but now I can't even get to 18C. The temperature in space here in the desert southwest is a constant 80F, obviously too hot. . . and the fridge is 41 F, too cool. That's why I bought a wine cooler. I still love this item but am downgrading it from 5 to 4 stars due to handling issues. Anyone else have problems like this?

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
