Main Product Advantages
8 Design
The Schmecke Wine Cooler has a stylish and attractive design that fits in various settings. It is compact and utilizes space efficiently with adjustable legs for stability.
8 Capacity
The unit can hold standard and some taller wine bottles. However, the design might not suit everyone, with the white wine section being larger than the red wine section.
8 Dual Zone Feature
The dual-zone feature allows for different temperatures for red and white wines, which is appreciated by users.
7 Noise Level
While generally quiet, especially compared to an air conditioner, some users report the noise being more noticeable with an empty shelf. The compressor makes some noise when it kicks in.
7 Temperature Control
The wine cooler maintains a stable temperature but might be off by 2 degrees according to external digital thermometers. Some users have reported issues with the cooler not achieving lower temperature settings.
7 Ease of Use
The wine cooler is easy to use with buttons that are simple to operate. Adjustability and locking features are appreciated.
6 LED Display and Lighting
The LED display is very bright, which can be distracting at night. Internal lighting is dim and primarily for ambiance, making it hard to read wine labels without external light.
6 Build Quality
Mixed reviews on build quality with some units arriving with broken shelves or damage. The internal wooden shelves are basic but functional.
5 Delivery and Condition
While many users received the product in good condition and ahead of time, others reported receiving faulty units and had customer service issues.
4 Customer Support
Some users experienced poor customer support, with delays in responses and unresolved issues regarding replacements or refunds for faulty units.
