Product review (2 stars): Does NOT cool properly for wines!
Finding a good/adequate wine cooler/fridge is so frustrating. This is the 2nd product I've tried. I first tried the Danby wine cooler and it could not cool down far enough for proper storage of wine. So then I elected to try this AKDY. I have tried to turn it ALL the way down to "46" which is its lowest setting, however, after 5 days it still just shows "49" on the controls, despite the fact I have selected "46" several times now.

As far as what temperature it ACTUALLY cools down to, that's disappointing as well. I have 3 thermometers inside the fridge - at top, middle, and bottom. The coolest it's gotten is at the bottom where it's measured at 54 degrees, which is actually an acceptable temperature. However, the middle of the fridge comes in at 59 degrees and the top of the fridge cannot cool beyond 61 degrees. Not only is that high of a temp unacceptable for my wine storage (storing both whites and reds), but one would expect that *such* a small fridge could maintain a reasonably similar temperature throughout the fridge, right? Well, it cannot. There is always a 6-7 degree in temperature variance from the top to the bottom of the fridge. Really disappointing.

If anyone knows of a wine fridge/cooler that can actually maintain around 49-54 degrees throughout, please let me know! I've ordered a 3rd unit to try and will see how it goes - the next one I'm trying is a thermo-electric unit by Titan: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U0XBN5I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

The only pros to this item is that it has a small footprint, is clean-looking / attractive / simple, is quiet, and uses thermo-electric cooling (which is good for cooling wines bc it doesn't cause the vibrations that normal compressor-cooled fridges cause, which can ruin your wine!).

So if you do try this unit - be *sure* to get some fridge thermometers so you can see where actual temps are reading!
