Wine Cooler Reviews & Ratings - Our System

Many wine cooler/wine refrigerator brands and models are available today that makes research a daunting task. A majority of wine cooler reviews found online are provided by businesses that sell the apliances they publish a review on.

They tend to write glossed over reviews and it is understandable that it isn’t in their interest to tell you the weaknesses of an appliance they want you to buy. Even worse is when online retailers only copy and paste the information provided by the manufacturer and you’ll find the same, oftentimes hyped wine cooler/wine refrigeartor description all over the internet.

There are of course the large review sites like Amazon or Consumersearch.com that contain many reviews provided by users. 

To read all or most of them would take much of your time. User reviews published on large retail sites usually don’t have an easy-to-follow structure and one has to read thoroughly to pick the most important facts and information to be able to compare different wine cooler brands and models.

To do this with so many reviews on one model is very tedious and timeconsuming. We know because we’ve been through it when we bought our first wine cooler and when we researched units for friends and family.

Since we've learnt a lot about various wine coolers/wine refrigerators we thought that a website that provides objective reviews in an easy-to-understand format would be a great help for others who are thinking about getting a wine cooler.

That’s how or wine cooler/wine refrigerator review site, Winecoolerexpert.com was born. We don’t sell directly any of the units reviewed on our site nor we are directly affiliated with any wine cooler/wine refrigerator manufacturer/retailer so we aren’t biased toward any brand or product. That’s why we are able to write objective, unbiased reviews that include both the pros and cons.

The menu in the left hand contains direct links to overview articles on all major wine cooler brands. These overview pages focus on the main characterictics of a brand and its models, provide information on the manufacturer, and contain links to detailed reviews on the brand's wine cooler models.

We also organized our reviews in the left hand side menu according to:

  • type (thermoelectric, compressor-operated, single-zone, dual-zone, multiple-zone, built-in, freestanding),

  • size and

  • price (comes soon).

There's also a main wine cooler brand article listing all manufacturers that offer wine cooler refrigerators.

Our Wine Cooler Review & Rating System

We do a thorough research for all our wine cooler reviews reading through reviews, forum posts, gathering all the facts including all the major weaknesses, complaints, praises reported by users. Then we write our review using an simple system allowing the reader to either quickly scan for the most important facts and overall rating or to immerse in a detailed review.

In What We Offer More than Other Product Review Sites?

We review solely wine coolers, wine refrigerators and wine cellars unlike big review sites that feature reviews on all sorts of products. In order to easily digest the reviews and to be able to quickly compare the most important features and benefits of various models we created a simple review & rating structure for all reviews published on our site.

The following structure is applied in the detailed reviews on individual models (not in the brand overview articles).
