Customer Reviews of Haier HVT12ABS 12-Bottle-Capacity Table-Top Wine Cellar, Black with Silver Trim
Customer Rating:   Summary: Inexpensive thermo-electric wine cooler won't last Comment: This baby (Haier HVT12ABS 12-Bottle-Capacity Table-Top Wine Cellar, Black with Silver Trim) hummed away on my kitchen counter for just about a year, seemingly doing its job adequately. Then, one day, I noticed that the fan was running continuously and, yet, the temperature inside was the same as the room temperature. Something in the Peltier thermo-electric cooling system had expired, as had the one-year warranty. Searching Amazon and other web sites, I've learned that I've now joined the growing throng of unhappy owners. After this, I will be very hesitant to buy another Haier product. Caveat emptor. 'Nuff said? Customer Rating: Summary: When it works it is great Comment: I also got their product and it died after a few months. I did get a replacement which took a while and they needed all the information you can think of before they would send the replacement. But after another couple of months the new one died too. I will not bother wasting my time trying to replace it again. But when it works it is a perfect size and it is very quiet. Customer Rating: Summary: Cannot recommend this wine cellar Comment: My Haier wine cellar also died within the warranty period. I contacted the company and followed its instructions to receive a replacement unit for a $14.95 shipping fee. Haier does not ask you to ship a malfunctioning unit back to them, but instead you have to cut off the electric cords and the model and serial number stickers from the unit and return those along with your receipt to prove you owned the unit. I thought that was odd until I learned I had to pay $40 to my local township for disposal of the first cellar because of the freon in it -- clearly Haier does not want to take on the costs of disposing of its problem units. In my case, a new unit arrived as promised and died within 2 months! This time I'm shipping back the whole unit to Haier with the request that they reimburse me both for the cost of the original unit and the disposal fee I paid for the first one. I have low expectations of a response, but I'm not paying another $40 disposal fee. I'd rather pay the return shipping costs and leave Haier with the problem and costs of disposing of their own bad product. Customer Rating: Summary: Piece of Junk Comment: Unit died just after end of one-year warranty. While Haier offered to replace the unit at close to its original price (including shipping) I won't take a chance on the product again given other customer experiences. I highly recommend purchasing a different brand. Customer Rating: Summary: The perfect size Comment: This wine cellar fits perfectly next to our refrigerator in the new home we built!! Because it is black and silver, it looks like it was made to go with our black and stainless steel appliances!! It works like a charm and is so quiet that you don't know it is there!

Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Choosing Appliance -> Grater In our opinion, the old fashioned box graters work the best since they are sturdy and offer several different grating sizes.

Useful info -> Tips If you plan to install a dishwasher, place it close to the sink. Where you choose to put it might depend on whether you're right- or left-handed and on the path dishes are likely to take when cleared from the table. Also consider the choreography of two people loading and unloading the machine |
