About this item

TEMPERATURE STABILITY - Schmécké wine coolers’ compressor technology ensures temperature is not affected by outside heat sources, and reaches temperatures low enough to house sparkling white wines with a 41°F to 64°F temperature range!
PRESERVE WINE’S FULLEST FLAVOR & AROMA - Set the temperature and let the wine cooler do the rest. With a built-in fan that maintains a consistent temperature throughout, this cooler ensures an optimal environment for long-term wine storage.
UV-RESISTANT DOUBLE-PANED THERMOPANE GLASS - A double-paned glass door not only keeps the interior insulated, but also protects your collection from harmful UV light that can damage the tannins and overall flavor of your wine.
SOFT INTERIOR LIGHTING - Turn on the energy-efficient LED light to gently illuminate your collection. Say goodbye to harsh fluorescent bulbs that fade labels and affect flavor.
REMOVABLE RACKS & EASY-TO-USE TOUCH CONTROLS - Rearrange the shelves to accommodate varying bottle sizes. From pinot noir to champagne, you can be sure your collection ages comfortably. Easily adjust the temperature and turn on the light by tapping the digital display, then easily lock in settings with the lock button. The bright LCD display lets you view the temperature, even in the dark.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little unit
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023
This unit is very effective and nicely designed. Some comments relating to other reviews. Some reviewers have mentioned that the unit is wobbly. Please note that all four legs are adjustable, and each one can be raised or lowered by twisting the leg clockwise or counterclockwise. So out of the box, my unit was wobbly too. After adjustment, it is rock solid. Unlike some reviewers, I've never had a problem with the unit icing up. I've never had that issue. I keep my unit at 58 degrees; perhaps icing is a problem only with far lower temperature settings. As at least one reviewer has noticed, the temperature display light is bright. It's not an issue in daytime. At night, just cover it up. I took one of the three-sided wedges used in shipping to protect the unit from damage and cut away one side. It makes a very effective L-shaped cover for the light to block the light at night. There have also been complaints about the noise, which surprises me. It's a very quiet unit. Sure, if I am standing next to the unit, I can hear it. But in another room, no. It's not bothersome at all; certainly my air conditioner is far, far louder than this unit. I'm surprised also that some reviewers have complained about the unit not being big enough to hold bottles. This unit has plenty of space to hold standard-size wine bottles, and even wine-bottles that are taller than the norm.

This wine cooler is the perfect size. It cooled quickly as needed and is very quiet. Delivery was quick and easy install.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice, affordable, basic wine refrigerator
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022
This fridge has one temperature zone which is fine because I only keep red wine in it. I have it set at 58 deg's which, for me, is just right for my "less than expensive" wines. So far, it's working perfectly as far as holding the set temp. Since it is located just behind where we sit to watch TV, noise would be an issue. This fridge is very quiet; I have to concentrate to even hear it running.

I've had three or four wine fridges in the past. They seem to die after two or three years so I bought the 5-year extended warranty for this one; hopefully, I won't have to use it.

4.0 out of 5 stars This wine cooler has a 5-STAR appearance and 3-STAR functionality
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021
This really is a nice-looking wine cooler, but it does have some characteristics which may make it less desirable depending upon where you plan to locate it in your home. The rating I would give this product really depends on where you plan to locate the wine cooler.

**** (4 STARS) = Location is in a rarely used room or garage
*** (3 STARS) = Location is in a dining room, kitchen, or frequently used room.

What I like:
1. The wine cooler is extremely attractive and looks nice at almost all locations in my home. The external finish has a “quality” look and feel. I would have no reservations displaying this unit at any location. In my home the unit is in a corner of the dining room.
2. The unit seems to keep a very accurate internal temperature. It rarely strays from the set temperature except for when the door is opened.
3. The unit makes effective use of the space it occupies, and I find no wasted space. What is not needed for the compressor, control, and display components is used as storage area for the wine bottles. Very nice design considerations when assembling all the components. It seems to be the most optimized size for the number of bottles that it chills. Kudos to the designers!
4. The wine cooler has a door lock which can be used when desired. It is well designed, works nicely, and is not obtrusive. The wine cooler door lock is located at the bottom of the door and is barely recognizable. It is hidden from view and does not add or detract from the aesthetics of the unit whether used or not.

One would think that if a wine cooler looked appealing, could easily be secured, fit in the available space, and kept the wine at the correct temperature all would be good; and the unit should be given a 5-star review. Unfortunately, this is all that I considered when looking for a wine cooler and I did not consider other things which I would later learn were especially important to my satisfaction of the unit.

What I dislike:
1. The LED display which indicates the set and operating temperature is extremely bright. It will illuminate the room it occupies when dark and can be very distracting. There is no reason for this display to be this bright, but it is not vastly different from other electronics which use similar LED technology. I found that I needed to attach a light diffuser to the LED display panel to reduce the brightness to an acceptable level. Of course, this detracted from the aesthetics of the unit, but made the nighttime illumination acceptable. If this unit were in a rarely used room this may not be an issue for you.
2. The compressor comes on frequently and is noisier than I expected. It seems like the temperature control system for this unit is not designed properly. The compressor comes on for 10-20 seconds every 1-2 minutes. Perhaps there is not adequate hysteresis between the set and operating temperatures or perhaps there is not adequate insulation in the cooled chamber. Whatever the cause, the constant noise from the compressor is distracting and I am concerned about the longevity of the system given the frequent actuations. Again, if the unit were in a rarely used room this may not be an issue unless it is impacting reliability. Other units I have owned never cycled this frequently.
3. The internal light is really just to provide ambiance when viewed from the outside. It is too dim for older eyes to read the wine bottle labels if there is no assistance from external lights. The brightness of the internal light needs to be improved if it is to be useful for something other than ambiance. Perhaps have two settings for the internal light – ambiance and full illumination.

I really want to like this unit because it looks genuinely nice in my dining room, but I feel there are several features which need to be addressed before it is a perfect fit and becomes a 5-star unit. Although there is a lot to like about this cooler, the dislikes are really starting to annoy me and I fear they will cause me to return the unit before weeks end.

I originally bought this item for my best friend’s birthday. She was so excited to receive it. When I gave it to her, she plugged it in and the fridge did not get cold. The temperature was not changing from the house temperature. It was broken.

This was very frustrating especially because this was a gift and I trusted this company to give me a working item.

I inquired with support, and they had me send pictures to ensure we were doing everything right. We agreed I was, and they recognized it was a faulty product.

So, they said they would send a new one. A few days later, they told me they were out of stock and would send me another wine fridge from their sister company. They told me it was practically identical. I said fine, because I really had no other option.

The product arrived and this time, not only was it internally damaged, it was externally damaged. See attached for photos of that. It was so banged up and physically damaged. We attempted to turn it on—no luck. This thing didn’t even turn on, let alone work.

So now, I have received 2 faulty products from this company, and have been over 3 months of back and forth trying to get things fixed. After receiving the second faulty product, I decided enough was enough. I just needed my money back. So, I once again sent them the Kyoto’s of the broken item. The customer service rep just said they have scheduled a UPS pickup and the pickup will come 3 times to attempt to pick up the item. What does that even mean? They provided me with no date or time the ups pickup is scheduled to come, no confirmation or tracking number of the ups pickup, and no instructions. It is beyond frustrating and all I can say is STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY and making any sort of purchases from them.
