FlexCount Series 177 Bottle Single Zone Built-in Wine Refrigerator with Stainless Steel Door - Right Hinge Reviews

03/30/2019

The product arrived and was placed outside exactly where I had recommended. The Packing was excellent and arrived without any damages. I have only had unit one week. Works very well so far. The shelves move freely, much better than other units. I am pleased. The noise level is moderate, but certainly tolerable. Like all wine coolers, you will never be able to fit the total number of bottle the company promotes, however, it definitely meets my needs. This unit far exceeds my previous one.

I was looking for a large capacity wine cooler and found this one from Beverage Factory. Since I was moving to a new house, I was holding off on pulling the trigger on ordering the unit. That’s when I got an email coupon which convinced me to order. I called and spoke with a sales rep who arranged to hold the shipment for two weeks. Delivery was right to the front door. I unpacked the unit and it looked great. Two options for the handle. I had the builder create a nook so I could install the Allavino as a built-in. I’ve set the temp and I’ll be loading up the bottles tonight but so far, I’m extremely satisfied. I’ll save the 5th star until I see how it performs fully loaded.

Beautiful fit and finish. Shelving is study and flexible. If you have a large number of Chardonnay or Pinot Noir bottles, the bottle count will be much less. Unsure about consistency of temperature control but seems actual temp is about 2 degrees below temp setting. If you need the unit installed inside your home, suggest paying for extra service. The unit is very heavy and extremely difficult to move without equipment and people.

This wine fridge solved all previous problems with storage. The FlexCount design is a huge improvement in fitting larger bottles and being able to pull the shelves all the way out to see the back row. Highly recommend this unit and BeverageFactory.

The process from beginning to end was executed beautifully. Even the delivery people were efficient and friendly. The FlexCount Series 177 Bottle Single Zone Wine Refrigerator is a great product especially when others like it are so much more expensive. Beautiful design and I enjoy just looking at it. I am a wine investor and this product will store my collection for a long long time...

well built and quiet. Lighting not very good though.

Came well packaged and in perfect condition. Runs quietly and seems to hold it's temperature. Like it better than other higher priced units I have seen.It seems to stick out a little farther than advertised from my kitchen cabinets. we will see how it looks when enclosed.

Design, materials, value, and flexibility are first rate all the way. Does have a little more noise than expected.

I had been looking all over for a cellar that the larger California Cab bottles would fit in without scraping the labels. Found it in this fridge!! The metal shelves are strong yet thin enough to give you that extra shelf room for those CA Cabs. Very well insulated and keeps the temperature within a degree usually even though I have it in my Texas garage. Very pleased with the perfect cellar!

For several years I wanted to move to a larger wine fridge and get more serious about my collection, but wine fridges are an interesting bunch. Most reviews for fridges that are 60-300 bottle count are abysmal because the shelves are built in a way that only Bordeaux bottles will fit. Syrah, Calfornia cab and many other bottle types have their labels torn off when you try to fit them in if they fit at all.

Not this fridge. Everything you want to fit has a place that it'll fit into. The main shelves easily hold my Cali cabs, and the shelving design is brilliant. Bottles fit together perfectly whether they're short, average or tall. There's 3 extra large shelves that can take your syrah, larger bottles or whatever else you may have. Heck, you can even turn them into display shelves if you want.

The compressor makes a bit of noise, but this is normal for a design of this type (it's not thermo-electric). Temperature stays fairly constant, which is important, and it's single zone because I only store red in it

I use this in a wine and paint studio. I had a similar Allavino wine cooler which lasted exactly four years and then died. I really liked it, except for the same things people complained about every brand. The shelves were too narrow and the wood sagged and bowed, making even less space between shelves. This new cooler was delivered without a scratch on the packaging. I moved it into place and then waited three hours before plugging it in. It started right up and cooled instantly! The shelves are such an improvement! I can fit two cases of my most popular wine on the top shelf of the cooler without sagging! It's a single zone, so it works even better than the previous dual zone cooler I had previously. I didn't like the electrical component on the previous cooler because it was in between the two zones, and I feel it added to the cooler's demise. The electronics on this one is on the top. No fear of dripping from wine or melting frost.

This good looking unit is full and maintaining the temp as advertised. The flexible racking worked great for a mix of Cab and Pinot Noir bottles.

I looked for a large single zone wine cellar off and on for about 6 months. I kept coming back to this one as the ratings and reviews seemed the highest for the price.
I finally ordered it and it delivered within 10 days. The unit came on a small pallet and was packed really well.
I unpacked it and moved it with my buddy within 30 minutes and had it against the back wall in my garage next to my regular garage frig.
The handle came days before and I put it on in 5 minutes.
I powered the unit up and started loading it right away. The quality seems very nice, I love the shelves and roller hinges. The blue light and tinted glass door are sweet.
The lock is the only item I am disappointed with. After spending almost $2k on this frig it was a bummer to see what type of lock they put on the frig. It works fine and it is similar to other wine frig locks but it seems like spending another $5 to have a real lock would be an easy decision.
3 weeks into owning it and I love it!

I researched extensively prior to purchasing the FlexCount Series Wine Refrigerator. I like to read the reviews but I don't necessarily comment on the products that I buy. However, the overall experience of buying this item, quality, delivery, price & customer service were over the top so I decided to comment. It came with two handles (straight & curved) and I like the straight handle. I highly recommend it to all the wine lovers who needs a wine refrigerator. As a matter of fact, I recommended it and provided all the information to a friend who was looking for this size wine refrigerator.

I had a house in Maryland with a nice cool basement. Then I retired to Florida and had to keep my wine cool. After researching wine coolers I thought that this was the best buy. I placed an order and it arrived a day early. The delivery person was most helpful in getting the unit into my home.

I have had the unit for nearly a month and it keeps the temperature within 2 degrees plus or minus. All my wine fit easily even the heavier Cab bottles. If you are looking for a wine cooler, check out this one. You will not be disappointed.

We got this wine fridge because our older one finally died on us. We did a lot of research and we're happy with our decision to go with an Allavino. I really like the racking design and the fridge looks very nice in our kitchen. We were looking at wine fridges in a wide range of prices and decided this was going to be our best bet...and so far we were right.

I had a wine refrigerator from another brand that I was only getting about half the capacity I was supposed to because I had to take out every other shelf to fit my bottles. So it was this big fridge taking up lots of space without much capacity. My friend got one of these Allavinos and when I saw how the shelves worked, I knew I had to get one for myself. It arrived on time, fit perfectly in my space and fits my bottles exactly as they should without having to remove any shelves. My only problem now is I have to go buy some more wine to fill up the extra space I have... poor me!

I currently do not have enough wine to completely fill it, but all my bottles fit comfortably. The unit is very easy to load using the slide out shelves. The unit is heavy so I had to be careful moving it to my desired location, but it looks and works great so far. I have only had this unit for about a week, but everything seems to be running great. The unit is very quiet and also has an attractive door design. I will update if anything changes, but so far I would definitely recommend this model.

We ordered this wine refrigerator for our newly remodeled kitchen, and we are very happy with it so far. We opted to pay more for white glove service, they brought it into the house, unpacked the unit and removed all the cardboard, it was worth the extra money to not have to do that ourselves.
Great wine cooler!
