Ivation 18 Bottle Compressor Wine Cooler Refrigerator w/Lock, Large Freestanding Wine Cellar For Red, White, Champagne or Sparkling Wine, 41f-64f Digital Temperature Control Fridge Glass Door Black

Bottom line: Looks good, reasonably quiet and doesn't take up too much space. We got this wine refrigerator a few months ago for two reasons. We like our red wine cold and we wanted to free up space in our fridge. When we buy a case of wine, we just put the entire case into this wine refrigerator. Then if we've forgotten to put a bottle in the fridge, we always have a cold bottle ready to go. The only space we really had for this wine refrigerator was in our breakfast area. We sit there every morning, talk and have coffee. It does make some noise when running but it isn't an annoying sound and it doesn't disrupt our conversations. It's no more than 3-4' (approx. 1 meter) from where we are sitting. It's footprint is about 18" deep x 13.5 wide" (14.7cm x 34.3cm). It quickly cools the wine down (we have it set to the minimum temperature 41 degrees). I have noticed that it creeps up to 45 degrees on the display before the compressor turns on. It's probably a good thing though - better that it's on long enough to cool the wine down but not turning off and on constantly all day trying to keep the temperature precisely at 41 degrees. So far, very pleased. Will update the review if we have any reliability issues.

I bought the cooler a month ago. It arrived on time and in perfect conditions. I bought a black cooler, which has a very slick design and looks very cool. Following the manufacturer instruction, I waited for three hours before plugging the cooler in and started it up. It started without any problems, and it took just a few minutes to reach 55 degrees. It is very quiet, you can barely hear it. Inside, there is room for eighteen bottles of wine, champagne and whatever you like to store in it. The bottles must be no taller than 13.5". I have not had any problems to fit my stash into the cooler. So far so good. I would recommend this product to everybody.

I love this little wine frig. it fits so well in my apartment kitchen. This brand is great , I purchased this brand a few years ago for my house and it still works great with no issues.

I took delivery of this cooler a few days ago. Initial pros and cons: PROS: - v easy to unpack and install ***make sure you let the unit stand for 3 hours before plugging in! - very nice design and good build quality. The mirrored glass door and lock are nice touches - stores a lot of wine (18 bottles) in a small space - wine racks comfortably hold 750ml bottles and are easily adjustable - noise when compressor and fan are on is pleasingly very low - much better than the thermoelectric cooler I had prior - unit cools very quickly - from initial plug in to 55 degrees was around 10 mins - holds set temperature very well CONS - the temperature on my unit is set at 55 degrees but using a laser thermometer, the bottles at the bottom are coming in around 59 degrees and the bottles at the top are around 64 degrees. Not a huge problem as I dropped the unit temp to 52 degrees which keeps the wine in a better temperature window - the circulation fan at the top comes on when the compressor comes on but doesn't seem to do much good, given the large variance in temperature between top and bottom All in all a very good cooler - temperature is a little off (accuracy) but holds whatever temperature it's set at very well which is great for wine storage.

April 22, 2023 I purchased the Ivation 18 bottle wine fridge. I received it April 29, 2023. I allowed the refrigerator to set up right for over 3 hours as instructed before plugging it in. Once I plugged it in, it was louder than my house refrigerator, I mean I could hear the little thing in the other room, and it got louder and the control panel never lit up even with me pressing the unlock button for 2 seconds and more. I tried to get it to work several times but it just got louder, and actually the sides of it started to get pretty warm, it did cool on the inside. This is unacceptable it didn’t work and it was extremely loud. The more reviews I read, the loudness seem to be one of the biggest issues, I am well aware it is a compressor, but it’s a very small compressor. Is the loudness possibly the beginning of malfunctions?

I bought this cooler in June and have been using it only two months, and I am very satisfied with it. It came in perfect condition to me, so I have to think that the "banged up chassis" that people are finding are due to some really rough handling by delivery drivers. The packaging was more than sufficient to protect the fridge on the way in. It holds 18 bottles just fine. I keep it chilled to 45 as I like my wine well chilled, and it stays at a constant temperature. As for noise, a compressor is going to make some noise, but it is really minimal for a refrigerator and I barely hear it. The only thing I found surprising is I needed to defrost it this week, the back of the wine fridge was full of ice. I put it outside and let it defrost overnight. I did a little research and found this is an issue with wine fridges, that every four months or less they need to be defrosted. Also, it's been very hot and humid recently here (lots of 100F+ degree days), so I'm not surprised. Other than that little surprise, I love our wine fridge, it works great, is pretty quiet, and does exactly what I wanted.

This has been a great purchase, the temperature does fluctuate between 55-59 but that’s fine. It’s super quiet - I was worried about it to start with as the only place we can fit it is in our spare room where people sleep and nobody hears it. Highly recommend and would buy from this brand again

Replaced our old one and it works perfectly
