The wood was slightly warped. When you try to open up a bottle, the opener would pull away from the refrigerator.

Jokari Fizz-Keeper Pump & Pour Review

Jokari Fizz-Keeper Pump and Pour
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very simply, I bought two of these during the Holidays for stocking stuffers. Each recipient said that the item broke within 2-3 weeks. The concept is great but the actual product is made from very thin plastic. Both times the product broke at the hinge, rendering it useless.
I called the Seller (Organize-Everything.com) and was told that they are unable to go beyond their 30 day replacement or return policy. Well, I am rather relentlous, and as a matter of principle I called the manufacturer. The manufacturer (Jokari) explained that they received a batch of defective product. They were very helpful and are sending the replacements.
No stars for the seller because they did not want to be bothered with having to replace a defective product that they knew was defective from all the phone calls they have received in the past months, and instead made me do all the leg work.
There is also something to be said about those of us who do early Holiday shopping in November, and are shut out by many sellers because the gift is not given until 30 days after purchase.

Nothing is worse than sitting down with your ice cold cola, only to discover that is flat. Using Jokari's fizz keeper pump and pour, you can re-pressurize your two liter bottles so that they retain their carbonation. Simply squeeze the pumping balloon, and make sure the seal is tight. With pumping, the soda's life will be greatly elongated, and you can flip the pump back on its hinge for pouring.

Vacu Vin Guy Buffet Rapid Ice Wine Chiller, Sommeliers Review

Vacu Vin Guy Buffet Rapid Ice Wine Chiller, Sommeliers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While I've found the above mentioned 5 minutes to chill from room temperature down for drinking a bit optimistic (15 minutes is more accurate, if you also put the bottle with chiller in the freezer); there are few other viable ways of cooling a bottle down quickly that are this effortless. Slide the sleeve on (stick in freezer or not), wait, cork, and drink.
Besides this main feature, the chiller can serve two other purposes. First, after corking and pouring the first round of glasses, the chiller can serve in place of a more expensive metal bucket or crystal chiller, especially when it has a pleasing pattern or scene (most of these I have seen are a plain silver). Second, the chiller is great for bring bottles of white wine to friends' homes that you want to share immediately. Many people start with whites and if you are bringing a room-temperature white, it's annoying having to wait for it to chill in the freezer. Those 15-30 minutes may see your bottle passed over and forgotten. But with the Rapid Ice chiller, you can arrive with a bottle that's ready to drink immediately, even if traveling to your friends' took a while.

Waring Pro PC100 Wine Chiller Review

Waring Pro PC100 Wine Chiller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The problem isn't with the unit taking a long time to chill a bottle of wine, the problem is that it doesn't chill a bottle of wine.
I put a bottle of room temperature Chablis in, and selected Chablis from the list of white wines. The unit said it would chill it to 46 degrees, and indicated that the starting temp was 77. That was my first concern, because the bottle was room temperature, and room temp was 70. The unit took more than 30 minutes to get the bottle to the desired temp (according to the units thermostats), but when I opened the bottle, the wine was probably a bit warmer than a pinot should be served at. I turned the unit off, placed the bottle back in (using the accompanying sleeve both time, btw), and this time the starting temp read 61 degrees. In other words, it disagreed with itself...
Soo...I chilled it again, for another 20 minutes, and upon reaching 46 (again) the bottle was no cooler than it was before.
I don't understand how these are selling. They are probably good for bringing room temp reds down to the appropriate serving level, but this simply does not chill white, rose, or sparkling wines to the desired temperature. So it's great, I suppose, for someone who doesn't have a wine refrigerator, or a cellar, but who wants to drink red wines at the appropriate temperature. It's terrible for anything other than that.
This is as disappointed as I've ever been with a product before.

Deni 6100 Automatic 70-Watt Stainless-Steel Ice Crusher Review

Deni 6100 Automatic 70-Watt Stainless-Steel Ice Crusher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife loves to crunch ice. We purchased a new refrigerator with an ice crusher, but the chunks were fairly large for crunching, with pieces about 1/2" to 5/8" in size. I was hoping that this unit would crush ice further to make more of a slushie ice. To my wife's delight, this unit crushes ice to a fairly uniform 1/4" and under piece size, perfect for crunching. The ice chunks end up soft and easy on the teeth, and, like a slushie, hold onto soda or juice for flavor. The unit is used two to three times a day and seems pretty rugged.

Oster FPSTBW8451 Quick Chilling Wine Chiller, Merlot with Brushed Chrome Accents Review

Oster FPSTBW8451 Quick Chilling Wine Chiller, Merlot with Brushed Chrome Accents
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really excited to get this Oster Wine Chiller! Imagine just simply placing your wine or champagne bottle into this chiller and pulling it out at the perfect serving temperature just minutes later?
NOT.
This device requires a "couple of handfuls of ice" and then you also pour water into it from a pitcher (not supplied, of course).
It takes 20 minutes for an adequately cold pinot grigio or other whites best served very chilled.
Additionally, the instructions really reccomend that you repeat the process with new ice and water for each additional bottle.
In my freezer, I can chill several bottles in 20-30 minutes! Oh well.
I gave two stars because the thing would look nice as a chiller/server on the table (minus the power cord of course).
Bottom line? Definitely NOT worth the money.

Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller, Brushed-Silver Review

Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller, Brushed-Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Designed by Cooper Union engineering students who proved it was the most efficient way to chill beverages, the Cooper Cooler never fails to fascinate those guests who turn up at your barbecue with warm beer, wine, or soda. Happily, it also never fails to chill your potables to the core. Be warned, however, that you will consume a lot of ice in the process. (Since this device does not actually perform any refrigeration, you provide a mixture of water and ice which it cascades over the spinning container. The ice melts completely after only a few chilled cans, or one bottle of wine.)
Another caveat, which may not have mattered to those in the engineering lab, is that this thing is hell on paper labels, what with the constant water, and the traction from the rubber wheels. You may then choose not to spin the bottle, but it will take approximately twice as long to chill your beverage.
Such is life.

Revolutionary Cooling Systems' Cooper Cooler quickly chills room temperature beverages for a cold, refreshing drink.Just pour ice and water into the Cooper Cooler, select the container setting, and the cooler does the rest.A patented process chills by rotating beverages while simultaneously spraying them with ice water.The appliance will cool a 12 ounce beverage can from 77 degrees to 43 degrees in about 1 minute. An "extra" chill setting chills beverages to 34 degrees.The cooling process will not effect a drink's taste, composition, or cause carbonated beverages to fizz and explode upon opening.The Cooper Cooker is great for parties, road trips, dorm rooms, and office break rooms.

This machine is a great idea, but it is not good for larger bottles. It will fit a .75 litre bottle with no problem, but the bottom part of a 1.5 Litre is just too big to fit the opening in this cooler.

Ravi Solution Instant Wine Chiller Review

Ravi Solution Instant Wine Chiller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
-Easy to Use: Although there are quite a few pieces that make up the Ravi Solution, it is actually very easy to use.
-Effective: Instantly drops the temperature of any wine by 10F-15F bringing it to a more enjoyable drinking temperature.
-Versatile: Useful in the summer months when red wines at room temperature approach 80F (to bring them down to the mid-60s) -or- if you have a single temperature wine refrigerator set at 55F to drop the temperature down to around 45F.
Cons:
-A little pricey: This is definitely a convenience item and similar results can be attained with a little time in the fridge. However, I've found it quite useful and I'm glad I own one.

A simple, efficient, instant, and easily portable wine cooler, the Ravi does away with the need for ice buckets or refrigeration. Simply insert the Ravi into the bottle neck as you would a cork, and pour. The wine is chilled instantly as it passes through an inner, frozen stainless-steel tube. No time or energy is wasted since it's not the bottle that is cooled, but the wine itself. The more time wine spends in the Ravi, the colder it gets. Since not all wines are enjoyed at the same temperature, Ravi has a valve that controls the rate of flow of wine in order to regulate the temperature.
The internal tube of the Ravi is made from the same stainless steel used for wine fermentation tanks. The tube maintains the wine's characteristics and never alters the taste. Made in Canada, the Ravi was born from two years of work with oenologists, designers, and other wine-making specialists. Store the Ravi in the freezer when not in use. It will be efficient for an entire bottle of red wine and stay efficient for 90 minutes once out of freezer. The Ravi requires hand washing for care.

This works very well. I got a Rabbit at the same time and used this more. It really is effort free. That said it does have a significant design flaw. If you let the battery die (drop below 2V) it will not recharge. This is what Waring told me. Since it is still under warranty they will replace it, and they now recommend keeping it on the charger when not in use. If they fix this stupid design flaw I would give it 5 stars.
