For what it is, great

This fridge delivers a lot of bang for the buck. While it doesn’t have a humidity feature, nor does it have a built in thermometer or hygroscope, it performs well.
I put in two thermometers (both liquid filled – don’t trust the spring coil ones) and one hygroscope. To add humidity (after all, you want between 60 and 80% humidity) I put in a small cheap plastic bowl filled with salt water (the salt is to keep the water from getting stinky and nasty).
When I first plugged it in, I thought it was broken. So quiet, I can’t here it. I did turn off the glowing blue light inside – I want to store wine, not have a sci-fi gadget.
I adjusted the internal temp over a day, was able to move some wine in, and… Presto – it’s always at a nice 55 degrees (no apparent temperature fluctuation) and a solid 75% humidity.
So it may not be as good as a large cellar, but for the money, it’s fantastic.
Unbeatable for the price

I am very happy with the product. I added a Thermometer that tracks 24 hour temperature and humidity ranges. The fridge stays spot on at 55 degrees after I did some calibrating. Even the humidity is in the right range (around 70%). As promised the unit is whisper silent. The only disadvantage is that the temperature control is in the back and you’d have the hassle to take out the upper right bottle to adjust. But as I said, the temperature is “set and forget about it”. For a little over $200 including shipping you can’t go wrong!
Good unit, right up until it dies…

Caution to anyone looking for a quality unit that will last for years. I purchased the 28 bottle Edgestar wine cooler just under 2 years ago and was generally pleased with it’s functioning and appearance until it simply stopped working last week. The warranty period is only a year, of course, and I have had no success in finding a reasonably priced repair option. This unit has never been moved or handled roughly and there were no casualties of nearby appliances which could be explained by a power surge. Given another similar review, I can only conclude that this is an inferior quality unit that is not manufactured to last. I will never purchase an Edgestar product again.
Sure Beats out the Compressor Models

Quiet, hardly know its running unless sitting right beside it. (It’s in my kitchen beside the table). No vibration at all, which is very important for storing wines long term. Easy on the electric meter as well. Wish the shelves were a little further apart, but then that would reduce the amount of vino that you could store. Get one, you wont be sorry.
great buy

Bought for my boyfriend for christmas and it was very simple to put together, looks great, great price, and arrived earlier than what I thought. We are still enjoying it. Very nice cooler.
Not as Quiet As Expected
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
We purchased this unit a few months ago. It works well, but it is not as quiet as we were led to believe. It makes a constant humming sound that we have gotten use to. We thought that it would be essentially silent. We were wrong.
Lemons with a one-year lifetime

I am writing this review because of my extreme dissatisfaction with the Edgestar wine refrigeration product line and Compact Appliances. Two years ago my husband purchased the Edgestar 28-bottle fridge for me as a Christmas gift. We were so excited with the product that we raved to everyone about it. The following Christmas it was all my parents wanted. We purchased the smaller 16-bottle Edgestar for them. Not two weeks later ours died (right after the one-year warranty). My husband is quite handy and called to purchase various parts to repair the unit–over $100 worth–to no avail. We were devastated to throw away a brand new unit just one year after our purchase. I spoke with my parents last night and found to their utter disappointment now theirs has died too–just one year after we purchased it for them. This is TWO units that died immediately after a one-year period! These products are not inexpensive and were a costly investment to preserve our favorite wines. We are disappointed in the quality of the items and have vowed to never purchase again from Compact Appliances. We are also planning to warn all of our wine-loving friends in the wine classes we attend to not purchase the products as well. What a disappointing Christmas!
Quiet!

I finally decided to purchase a wine cooler for my stash of red wine. My hesitance in buying one was that it would have to go in my dining/living room area. I certainly didn’t want something that looked and sounded like a ‘fridge. This was perfect. It’s very quiet–I’ve had it for a little over a month now with nary a peep out of it. I like the muted light inside that I can turn on or off for ambient lighting. It filters through the tinted glass. I did not install the door pull so the cooler looks more sleek and less like a fridge. Keeps the wine safe from sunlight and warm temps.
Pleasantly Pleased

I purchased two of these wine coolers (one for reds and one for whites) for less than the price of one of the others. It seems that this particular EdgeStar looks identical to the Avanti 28 bottle cooler… hmmm. After a lot of comparison shopping this unit seemed to be the best bang for the buck. The thermoelectric system seems to be energy efficient and provides for total space utilization within the cooler itself. I was also able to cash in on a manufacturers no shipping special and an additional 5% discount. My only objection is that you cannot store any large bottles like champagne or sparkling wines (unless you remove a shelf) and some larger 750ml bottles seem tight. But, you just have to be careful not to damage your labels on the racks especially for the bottles you may be aging or giving as gifts.
If they continue to provide satisfactory service, I will probably consider buying another one. I would definitely recommend purchasing this unit.
Nice design and excellent storage space
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this cooler for several reasons, including:
1.) truly square internal dimensions (i.e. no ‘hump’ at the bottom for a compressor)
2.) thermoelectric (i.e. no moving parts)
3.) lightweight (i.e. no compressor)
4.) tinted glass
5.) inexpensive
At room temperature (77F), the cooler is able to lower the internal ambient temperature to 55F and the temperature of the wine to 58F. A ~20F differential isn’t bad for a 50 watt thermoelectric cooler.
My only complaints/wishes are:
1.) A true thermostat with a digital readout (I currently use an analog thermometer and adjust the rotary temp knob)
2.) Better welds on the rear of the unit (two of the supports broke loose at the welds while moving it around)
