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 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Refrigerator for our small space
    Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021
    Reviews were mixed on this refrigerator, but I took the plunge (due to Amazon’s return policy). We’ve only had this for a couple of months, but the refrigerator is perfect for our space. I had to remove the back panel of the cabinet to allow for air flow, and I couldn’t be happier with the built-in look! It is not noisy at all, when the compressor kicks on it barely hums. Keeps my wine at the perfect temperature. I wish it held more bottles, but then the frig would be bigger. My only complaint - and this is a stretch, I had to find something that bothered me (LOL) - is that the light doesn’t stay on, it automatically shuts off, I guess that is so the interior doesn’t change temperature.

    Very happy with this purchase! Completes the look of my wine bar, too!

    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 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

    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.
