(More customer reviews)According to a yellow sheet of paper that came with the cooler, if there is a power outage, it will not restart automatically. This is not satisfactory. If there is a power outage one day after I leave for a summer vacation, I may come back to find all my wine has been cooked. I am thinking about ameliorating this problem with a backup battery With an extended outage that wouldn't work, but in my neighborhood they don't happen so far as I know.
The thermostat may be defective. I have had the cooler over a week now, and it has only gone off once, even though the temperature is below the thermostat setting and I have the cooler in a room that is at 66 degrees. Right now, for example, a thermometer I put inside the unit reads 52 degrees, the thermostat reads 55, yet the cooler is still running. I'll do some experimenting. Maybe the thermostat works but reads high and the unit needs to run almost continuously. If the problem persists, I guess I'll have to make a warranty claim.
I bought the unit primarily relying on the Cuisinart brand, hoping they would be good about quality control. But evidently not. And why they didn't design for the possibility of power outages is beyond me.
Unusually fat wine bottles will fit, since the shelves are adjustable. But unusually tall bottles won't. I put some in and then discovered they were keeping the door from closing tightly.
I give it three stars because it does in fact work, getting the wine to roughly the right temperature. The motor is quiet and the aesthetics are okay.
