hOmeLabs 25 Bottle Wine Cooler

I was looking for a small wine cooler/refrigerator to replace one I had that had expired. I needed a small one to fit in the old space, and this fit the bill. What’s more, it had one feature that I didn’t see elsewhere on wine coolers this size: its door was reversible, something that I needed to have the door open from right to left. Size was right, price was right, and I ordered it, and was told delivery in two days. Well, the wine cooler showed up the next day! Unpacked it, and reversed the door. In doing so, I discovered that the plastic bearing that the door hinges on had shattered somehow before I received it. It was still functional, but I went on a chat with the company and asked if they had this little plastic part so I could replace it. The rep came back after a couple of minutes to say that they did not have any parts for this wine cooler, but would I like to have another to replace it? Three days later, a second wine cooler was on my doorstep. Now that’s customer service. As for the cooler itself, I really like it and it’s a huge improvement over my old one. I like the wood racks in it. For the same width as my old cooler, this one holds one more bottle on each shelf (4) by alternating and reversing the direction of the bottles on each shelf. It’s nice and bright inside. All in all, I really like it. It’s pretty quiet, shuts off when it has cooled down, and looks good. If there is one thing that it doesn’t have that I wish it did, was to monitor the interior temperature as my old cooler did. After setting the temperature, the display would show the interior temperature of each section. Since I was used to it, I purchased an Acurite refrigerator/freezer wireless thermometer that I put the sensors inside each section. Works for me!
