Warranty should be longer than 1 year. When a MFG has a 1 yr warranty ( as most appliance MFG do) it indicates that they do not expect their product to endure the test of time. In my case the temp control board died after 18 mo and I will be replacing it at my own expense. However the customer service dept was very helpful / courteous and the cost of the replacement part was under $20. I love the unit and it serves my needs perfectly, and I receive constant accolades from my guests and fellow wine connoisseurs.
