User Review

(by Howard)

Waste of money…purchased one 3 days ago and it was defective; keypad does not work and cooler is beeping. Returned it to store for exchange and the second one has a temperature problem; temperature reading 90 degrees F on top zone when cooler is cold. Returning the piece of junk tomorrow for a refund.

Rating: one star (useless).

TIP: See other 18-bottle wine fridges that offer better quality than the Avanti EWC18D02Z!
