54-Bottle Wine Cooler
Classy and Reasonably Priced

After a few weeks of owning our new Hisense Wine Fridge, our expectations have been exceeded.
First, the fridge looks very sleek, whether freestanding (like we have it) or built in.
Installing the fridge was pretty easy. The gasket took a bit of working to get it open to screw in the handle, but I didn't want to pull too hard. Holes were lined up perfectly, so the installation of the handle took only a couple of minutes once we had the gasket removed.
Our only complaint about the fridge is that it doesn't have wheels on the bottom. This made moving it into place a bit difficult (and I can imagine it would take a bit of maneuvering to put it in a built in spot). Not a deal breaker or something that it claims to have, but just a note for those looking to install in a built in fashion.
The cooling performance is good. The compressor isn't too loud, a noticeable hum in a quiet room, but one you won't hear if you are having a conversation. When we put items on top to simulate a built in install, the noise was reduced significantly.
When testing the temperature accuracy, the compressor seems to turn off when it reaches the temperature. So, for example, we had ours set at 48. The compressor would turn on and run until the internal temp read 48 then kick off.
We settled on 50 degrees for our temperature setting. We saw average temperatures around 51 degrees (due to the fluctuation of on/off). Since we have a mix of red and whites in the fridge, this works well for us. The bottles at the bottom were slightly warmer (52-53) so if you do have a mix, it seemed to be better to have whites on top and reds on bottom.
The slide out draw makes it very easy to get bottles in and out. No clunking or reaching to do, just pull the drawer all the way out to pick your favorite bottle. Bottles are alternated to achieve the full 54 bottle capacity.
Overall, we love our new wine fridge and the capacity it provides!
I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.
