This unit may work fine but it arrived in non-working condition. It had no power when plugged in. Haier was called and service person came out but could not get response from Haier. No call backs, no nothing. Haier parts and repair service is not satifactory. Unit is still unrepaired and will be returned after a month of trying to get part and response.

... this is the cellar! Especially if you are looking for a basic model to hold your growing wine collection. This model has standard features, nothing fancy: double-lined plastic? door (outer convex door is plastic, not sure about the inside door); basic shelves (I wouldn't slide them out, though); adjustable temperature (mine seems to run 2-3 degrees cooler than it's programmed for) that is easy to read. And it works just fine.

If you are on a budget, have limited space or are just looking for a basic temp-controlled, convenient place to keep your best wines, you can't go wrong with this. I haven't seen other 60-btl. chillers in this price range.

If you're thinking about getting a smaller model, consider upgrading to this 60-bottle unit. Your wines will add up quickly and, for the slightly extra cost and height, you'll be glad you have the storage available. My friends thought it was too much for me to get a 60-btl chiller (and I live in FL where temp control IS NEEDED), but they've come around as the cooler's become fuller. And a couple of wine novices are now interested in getting a cellar for their homes.

It should be said -- as one of the reviewers below noted -- the compressor is not silent. You'll hear it kicking in. So don't get this one if you are looking for a quiet deluxe chiller.

Last note: kudos to Amazon for including this item with my Free SuperSavers shipping options! Not having to schlep the big box home from the store and up the stairs was worth it!!

Good Luck !

I bought this item after researching several other more well known brands. The price was hard to beat compared to competing products in the 60 bottle range.

Free shipping on a product of this size is great. Storing wine without refrigeration in Florida is not wise. Now we have an excuse to stock up.

The cellar looks very sleek in our kitchen. It sits right next to our refrigerator. I agree with other reviewers that the unit may be a little loud when the cooler cycles on, and that 60 bottles is more of a theoretical capacity.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this product.

The first time I tried this oven the heating elements would not get hot enough so I sent it back (it cost me 14.95 to have Haier send me another one). I just tried the new one and the door does not shut properly.To make a long story short, I wish I had never ordered this brand oven.
