Review of Haier 18 Bottle Wine Cooler - Model HVW18ABB
The Haier HVW18ABB wine cooler is a single temperature zone winecabinet in which you can fit in up to 18 bottles of wine.
The black cabinet with the black-trimmed, double pane door look modern and stylish that matches nearly any home decor. The interior of the appliance is also black.
The door has recessed handle providing easy grip when opening the door but without any protruding part making the unit even more fitting for those who are scrunched on space.

You can fit two bottles of champagne on one shelf if you place one with the cork inwards the other outwards.
With the mechanical thermostat you can adjust a desired cooling temperature in the range of 50 - 64 ºF. |

The unit works with the so-called thermoelectric cooling technique which uses semiconductors instead of a compressor.
With no compressor the wine cooler emits less noise (only the fans driving out the hot air form the inside cause noise).
This noise- and vibration-free environment is the very favorable for storing wines because the sediemntation in the wine isn't disturbed.

Another advantage of thermal electric refrigeratorrs that they do not contain any chemical cooling agent (CFC-s, HCFC-s) so they have less impact on the environment at the end of their life cycle.
Thermoelectric cooling however have its limitation. Note that thermoelectric coolers can ensure and maintain the set temperature in rooms where ambient tempearture is not higher than 70-72 ºF. Find out more about thermoelectric wine refrigerators.

Customer Opinions of Haier 18-bottle wine refrigerator:
Some customers who bought this model have complained that it's a bit noisy despite that there's no compressor in the appliance. The reason for this might be that the wine cooler isn't placed appropriately as descibed in its manual.
The venting must be partially blocked so the fan works a lot to get rid off the hot air inside the cabinet.Make sure you leave enough clearance for proper ventillation otherwise the fan might break down in a very short time.
Regarding noise some other customer said that the wine refrigerator generates only a slight buzz.
Other users of the Haier 18 bottle wine cooler love its compact look and haven't find it noisy at all. |
