bit-tech Shopping: Vinotemp VT-182B 182-Bottle Wine Refrigerator

Rating: 8

Time with product:

Strengths: Well Built

Weaknesses: Doesn't hold the full bottle capacity. But none due since most wine bottles are longer or wider.

Summary: Vinotemp was reccomended to us by a local wine store and we love it. The front vent allows you to get it closer to the wall and it maintains the inner temperature even when the room temp is in the 80's.

Time with product: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Digital temperature control, wood pull out wine racks, cheaper priced than other units at this capacity, good value.

Weaknesses: Does not fit all 182 bottles since wines vary in size. Difficult to pull out and see the wines stored in the back.

Summary: I bought this 182 bottle wine frig to replace a 35 bottle wine coolers and so far I like it a lot. I really enjoy the digital temperature control. This cooler is about 300 pounds so be prepared. Also, there is tons of foam and cardboard box. Make sure if you pay for delivery that they will un-box it and install it for you instead of just drop it off. As stated below, it wont hold 182 bottles unless the bottles are the small normal size. Any bigger and it will take up more space lowering your total capacity. Some people say this cooler is loud. I don't think it too loud considering the size. You are not to install in the garage due to temperature fluctuations, but I put mine in there and no problems. Depends where you live I guess. It also has zero clearance and should fit your space nicely.
