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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Dual Zone
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024
This is a beautiful fridge. Love that it is dual zone. Quiet and fits in the space I wanted it to perfectly. Holds perfect amount of both red and white and temperature control is spot on. Love this wine cooler.

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2024
I am really enjoying my wine cooler, it is only been a couple of weeks, but so far is working like a champion,, temperature flows between 41 - 44 degrees, but really loving it. Very satisfied with this wine cooler.
I used to have a different wine cooler, but I really was very dissatisfied with it, it was a New Air, it never cooled properly, (it did not have a compressor, it was a different system ). but now that is going to the trash

4.0 out of 5 stars The Little Engine that could
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023
Update after three weeks:

I reduced my review from 5 stars to 4 stars because at least once a week now I have had to unplug it from the electrical outlet and then replug it so it can start cooling again as it would stop keeping the temperature. The wine refrigerator is in a cool room. Due to this I don’t understand why it would stop cooling. I keep the temperature at 53 degrees. Although it says it can reach the low forties it never has reached that cooling temperature. But for me 53 degrees F is good enough for my white, moscato and red wines
————Otherwise the below holds true:

This little wine refrigerator is a bargain for the buck. I had a very good experience.
1- It was delivered ahead of time.
2- It is very stylish, easy to use
3- Does cool down very rapidly
4- It has a small form factor
5- Can hold regular size wine bottles
6- Buttons are easy to use
7- The light inside the refrigerator is not over powering.
8- It locks, two keys are provided

Cons
1- LED Lights are very bright similar to a 20 Lumen night light
2- For me the temperature is off by two degrees as listed in the outside LED Temp indicator, (I placed a digital thermometer inside the refrigerator)
3- It does have some noise when the compressor kicks in, but minimal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Would be a great product if it worked
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024
Bought this fridge to replace a 4 year old Ivation (sold by the same company and made in the same Chinese Sweatshop) that was pretty much on its last legs.
Box arrived looking fine outside, but all the styrofoam packing was destroyed. I removed the unit (no damage), let is stand for 3 hours and plugged it in. It ran fine, was reasonably quiet and seemed to do its job. I set the thermostat to 48 degrees. When it hit 48 degrees, the display bounced back to 70 and kept cooling. The inside temperature was 35 degrees and the unit was still cooling!
I took a look around back and saw the problem: the large pipe coming out of the compressor was never insulated and the thermostat coil was never bundled with it (see pictures of old unit - insulated and new unit - not insulated).
Horrible quality control! I contacted Amazon. They cheerfully set up a pickup and a replacement. Unfortunately, because all the styrofoam packing was broken, I had to carefully glue the pieces together to be able to pack it up.
I have very little faith in the replacement. Unfortunately, most of the wine fridges, dorm refrigerators, kegerators, etc. are made in the same Chinese sweatshops. The next step up is a commercial unit. Those run in the thousands!
BTW, I contacted Schmecke. Absolutely no response.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter Wine Refrigerator
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2023
The one important thing with wine coolers is stable temperature. It is the shifting temps that spoil wine. The Schmecke 28 bottle wine refrigerator has had a stable 55 degree temperature so far. It is a little noisier than I expected, but all compressor coolers make some noise. It holds a decent amount of wine at 28 bottles on metal racks. I prefer the wood racks, but you can't have everything and a low price also. For the money, it is an excellent choice for keeping your wine aging safely. The only knock I have is that I wish here was a way to turn off the exterior temperature light. It is bright.

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.
