No complaints- the first day the unit generated a lot of heat, but then “settled” in. Temp has been pretty consistent within a few degrees. Customer service provided was exceptional.

So far all is well. It is what was described. Attractive for display. We have a lot of odd bottle size so we knew we would not get to 115 bottles. We got in more than I expected.
There is a little more fluctuation in the temp than I expected. However the price was great for what it is and in this price range 5 degrees isn’t that bad. This is our 3rd large wine refrigerator and I really like it.

I have owned this wine fridge for about a week now. It is stylish, and super quiet. We are storing both white and red wines in it at a nice cook 55 degrees. This is almost perfect for our reds, and with the whites you only need to move it to the fridge for like 20 minutes to get it ready for serving. We are keeping this wine fridge in our living room so the quietness was paramount.

Beverage factory was incredibly easy to work with, when I had questions about delivery to our door (we live in a 4th floor condo in Downtown New Orleans) they double checked with their freight company to make sure the delivery included up the elevator and to our door. The delivery person made sure to bring the unit all the way into our condo and put it right next to where we would be using it. It was excellent service all around.

Lastly while it is advertised as a 115 bottle cooler, the owner’s manual specifically says 107 bottle capacity. Fortunately, I do t have that much wine to store so it’s not a problem.

Company; 4 Stars Rating, This is the third unit that we have ordered from the beverage factory. Great support staff. The problem we had with our unit they stepped up and made it right.

Allavino Refrigerator; 3 Star Rating. The bio about the refrigerator is not totally correct, we were looking for a good unit that would handle all of the different size bottles that being sold today. With that said our fully loaded can only handle approximately 100 bottles max. The unit advertises 115 bottle capacity.

I knew going in that I have almost all fat bottles. We have been collecting Turley's All of there bottles whether Zin, Cab, Syrah etc are fat bottom bottles. We didn't adjust any of the shelving to see if we can fit more. Right now our whole collection fits in the cooler with a shelf and 1/2 to spare :-( We do anticipate growth because we've only been collecting for a few years. We were able to stagger the bottles with each bottle facing the opposite direction to get 6 on the shelf and 2 bottles laying in the front as pictured for 8 bottles per shelf and 6 bottles on the bottom. Our total capacity going as configured is 70 bottles. Again almost 100% fat bottom bottles. Delivery was quick and professional. We adjusted the legs to make sure everything was level. The selves slide nicely. The temperature fluctuates only slightly (1 degree colder or warmer). I don't think this is an issue. Couldn't hear it run at all until the fan from my furnace and the fan in the computer behind me shut off. Then I think there was a slight hum. We bought 2 anticipating growing our collection. We have already recommended it to a friend. They stopped by and looked at it after we got it installed and put our wine in it. They were very impressed and they own a wine bar :-) We've had it for about a month. FYI it is not a built in. It needs to breath (a couple of inches all the way around it) or it will likely fail more quickly. Cheers!

I've had this fridge for about a month now and as far as look, functionality and noise level I could not be happier. It is way more quiet than my previous 50 bottle fridge. I had to upgrade the size because my collection kept growing. I wanted to go with the Flex Count series because you can alternate stack the bottles better vs with the Vite the bottles can only face one way. Unfortunately the Flex Count stuck out over an inch from my counter top even without the handle so I had to go with the Vite. It says 115 bottle capacity and the manual says 107. Either way if you have larger bottles like myself, California Cab, Cab Fanc, Pinot and Syrah then double stacking on the shelf it is very difficult. Your skinnier bottles like Zin and some Malbec will work fine. I now have 56 bottles in there and might have room for 15-18 more max after playing tetris. I am saving my 50 bottle fridge for overflow which I will have after my next wine club deliveries. If you want to store a bunch of the same bottle you can definitely increase the storage capacity by removing a shelf or two and stacking them. Ultimately for the value it is a decent buy and the noise level is great. Customer service from Beverage Factory was fantastic as well. I would recommend this as long as you are not dead set on getting over 90 bottles in there.

Received this wine cooler just last week. I am very impressed with the quality and the performance so far. I did a lot of research and check many reviews...there were several comments about this unit not holding steady temperature and being noisy. I purchased a digital refrigerator thermometer and have placed it on every shelf in the unit. It holds a very steady temp from top to bottom and it is as quiet as either of my standard refrigerators. Unit did arrive with one damaged leg (shipping damage) and Beverage Factory immediately shipped out a replacement and gave me a $50 credit on my card without needing to ask. Overall - it's early but very pleased with this purchase.

This cooler is good looking and runs acceptably quiet. The interior fan actually makes a bit more noise than the compressor. My Pinot, Syrah and most Cab bottles only allow 8 bottles per shelf but in a very convenient display. The shelves are sturdy and work smoothly. The one thing this cooler could use is a small roller guide beneath the door on the handle side to support the door when closed as the door sags about an eighth of an inch when closed. My smaller cooler has one of these guides to keep the door square when closed. Overall construction is quite good and I am very pleased with this purchase. If I wanted to get more bottles in the unit I would probably remove one shelf and increase the shelf spacing allowing bottles to be stacked.

Love it! Was afraid the price was to good to be true but so far I am very happy. Looks great and seems to be well made maintains set temperature within 2 degrees and is less noisy then a regular refrigerator. Have only had it about month so I cannot say anything about longevity. Beverage factory and the delivery service they use were also awesome and easy to work with.
