Waring Pro PC50 Cordless Wine Chiller, Brushed Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received this as a gift a few days ago as a Christmas gift from my brother. I'm left wanting...I don't believe this product is worth it's price. The idea is great but, the basket insert sizes are not accurate. The large basket didn't fit my bottle of wine, so it seems even though you are given a small and large basket- you should only use a small bottle of wine. Standard ice from my freezer didn't fit into the chiller once I put the wine bottle in- you have to use small store bought ice or chipped broken pieces of ice, the sound/craftsmanship/overall quality of the product doesn't seem worth $50. Once the timer was done (and I doubled the suggested time) the wine I poured into my glass was only slightly above room temperature- even though the bottle felt pretty darn cold once I pulled it from the chiller. Save your money. Either spend more for a better wine chiller, or get something else altogether.

Exceptionally easy to operate, this tabletop wine holder chills wine in minutes, automatically rotating the bottle to cool it faster. Just turn on the timer and its cool blue backlit display counts down the number of minutes until the red, white, or champagne wine reaches an ideal serving temperature. Use the appliance with a cord or go cordless with the included rechargeable battery pack for convenient wine chilling on the boat or at a picnic. Accommodating bottles up to 3-1/2 inches in diameter, the wine chiller measures 8-1/4 by 8-1/4 by 11-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

The Sharper Image KP-W400 Single Wine Chiller, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had wanted a wine chiller for a long time, and a programmable one sounded like a great idea. So I requested this item for Christmas.
I only recently had an occasion to use it (not being a frequent wine consumer). As another reviewer noted, it took almost a hour to chill a bottle from "room temperature" of 77 degrees down to 55 degrees on the first bottle I tried. When "ready," only the bottom third of the bottle felt the least bit cool. The top still felt warm to the touch. The bottle is held in the chiller on a slant, so the back was cool a little farther up the bottle; the front was not cool at all. The top cover does not seem to serve any purpose (like keeping in the cool air) at all. When I poured the wine, I discovered what I feared--it was still quite warm.
I tried a few days later with a different wine and it took about an hour and a half to chill to 43 degrees. This time, I turned the bottle every fifteen minutes, but the results were no better.
The library, although it lists reds and whites from several countries, and several different kinds of reds or whites under each country, seems only have about three or four preset temperatures, the best I can tell. One might as well just use 55 degrees for red and 43 for white and forget paying extra for a chiller with an extensive "library" of wine types to program in. Or, as has been observed, pop the bottle in the fridge for 30 minutes or the freezer for 15 and save the entire cost of this device.
Finally, although champagne is listed as one of the selections, there is no bottle of champagne that will fit in the receptacle. The appearance of the appliance is deceiving, as it does not have as much room inside as it appears from the outside.
Had I known all this, I would never have requested this item. Unfortunately, it's too late to return it.

Cooper Cooler Blitz Chiller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third cooler from cooper.
I wore out the first two. I had each
for years and was happy with them.
The new one is VERY noisy. The lid
does not open nearly enough to enable
trouble free ice and water addition.
The lid latch has to be rapped just
right to get the lid to pop open.
It most often takes more than 5 or 6
tries.
I have given it three months to give
it a fair trial.
It goes in the trash and I am paying for
a new cooler of the old style.
Also, a 20oz plastic Pepsi bottle
will not fit.

Cooper Cooler's Blitz Chiller uses the patented Cooper Cooling Process, the quickest way to chill a beverage, to rapidly chill single-serve cans and bottles in six minutes or less. Ideal for 12-ounce glass, plastic, and aluminum containers, the chilling process involves two simultaneous steps. The beverage container is rotated horizontally at an optimal revolution per minute (RPM) while a spray of cold fluid (ice water) is sprayed onto the drink from the top.
The Blitz Chiller chills a canned beverage from 77 degrees to 38 degrees in two minutes, and down to 33 degrees in four minutes. Chill a bottle from 77 degrees to 41 degrees in four minutes, and to 36 degrees in six minutes. In a refrigerator, it takes about 4 hours to chill cans and bottles. In a freezer, it takes 50 minutes. In ice water, it takes about 25 minutes for cans and 30 minutes for bottles. These chill times are defined as bringing the beverage from room temperature (77ºF) to a cold drinking temperature (38ºF).
The Blitz Chiller is easy to use. Simply open the gadget, add ice and water, add your beverage, close the lid, and press the auto timer lever with 3 pre-set times. The unit shuts off automatically. This innovative gadget measures approximately 12 inches by nine inches by six inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Waring Pro PC100 Wine Chiller Review

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.

Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller, Brushed-Silver Review

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.

Cooper Cooler HC01-A Rapid Beverage Chiller, White and Grey Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I saw this, I knew right away from my college beer drinking days that this would work very well. We used to buy crushed ice and lay hot beer cans on their side and spun them until cold. The drawback: you had to spin them yourself. What I wouldn't have given to have access to a device that provided the fastest and most effective cooling possible.
Pros:
-Works very well (but only if you load as much ice as possible)
-Works very quickly
-Small
-Handles cans, beer bottles, wine bottles, and even odd shaped stuff like juice boxes that you don't want to spin
-A surprising number of settings to suit your taste
-Did a lot of research. As of 8/1/2006 could not find anything even remotely close to this good.
-Spinning IS NOT shaking, so soda and beer do not explode
-Uses ice, not a liner that needs 8 hours of freezer time, both convenient and a space saving option
-Items are not submerged under icy water like other competing units, so you don't have to dredge for your drink in cold water
Cons:
-No power off switch... in standby you get flashing lights on the front which is annoying
-Relatively loud, does not appear to have slow roll option to reduce noise
-Paper labels on wine bottles get beaten up pretty badly, bits of paper come off (bottle becomes unsightly)
-Draining water requires you to unplug at the wall and carry to a sink (unlike my espresso maker which has a lift out chamber)
-Requires a power source, not portable unless you are handy and build a battery with gusto (which I can do, but most wouldn't try)
-Wine bottles tend to drip a little on the counter as the cold ice water is pumped on them, so we have to put a trivet or thick potholder under the front two feet to help discourage dripping on the counter.
I am considering adding a "roll" switch so that I can turn the unit off without unplugging which is an easy modification anyone can do (one a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 1, or really cheap and easy).
Bottom line: Despite cons, I recommend this item. Had it a year and still going, popular at parties.
