Haier 18-Bottle Dual Zone Curved Door with Smoked Glass Wine Cellar (Misc.)

   Whisper quiet operation, looks good, and holds a constant temperature. Will update this in the future after a few months, but initial purchase and first week I have had nothing but compliments from friends, and positive experience. It has been a great addition to my bar area. amznJQ.onReady('jQuery', function() { amznJQ.available('popover', function() { var widgetDom = jQuery("#R3D96RL0ND4L58_imageSection_E5CA189A-F227-11E5-9775-36E3A1EDF1EA"); var images = widgetDom.find(".review-image-thumbnail"); for (var c=0;c

Bought this as a gift for my wife. Very pleased with the unit, as it looks good, runs quite, and performs well, especially for the price. We had an issue with it at first that others may need to know about. We originally set it on a counter with the back of the unit about an inch from the wall. After one week, the unit would only cool to 54 degrees, which is just a little too warm to drink chilled wine. I was going to return it to Amazon, but my wife simply moved the unit about 3/4 inch further from the wall, and within an hour or so the unit was at 47 degrees and has now stayed there for several weeks. Apparantly it could not vent properly at 1 inch ffom the wall. This was a simple fix that the instructions did not mention. We are now very pleased with this purchase.

I had always wondered what kind of power these units draw and I finally bought one and, being an engineer, I could not help myself but to measure. Since the unit changes power level based on fans on or off and the internal Peltier device power level, etc., you cannot just measure the current at any given time and multiply out to get the yearly cost to run. I have a plug-in watt-hour meter that tallys a cumulative kilowatt-hour usage over time: this would then account for the on and off cycles for a true-cost-to-run analysis.With the unit in a low humidity steady state 68 degree room and the unit temperature set at 50 degrees, interior led light off and opening the door once for 10 seconds in the test time, it hit 0.43 kilowatt-hours at the 25 hour, 40 minute mark. A little math tells me that in order to run it continuously for a year with one door opening per day, the power draw would be 146.758 kilowatt-hours. At a typical 10 cents per kilowatt hour, that would add...Read more
