Customer Reviews: N*O*I*S*Y August 16, 2010 Grape, Grape Joy The wine chiller ... chills adequately but is extremely noisy. At first, I thought (hoped) that the noise would cease once the wines reached optimum temperature ... it doesn't. If it had, I probably would have just kept it as we have wanted one for some time and received this one as a wedding gift.
Not Only Noisy... January 1, 2010 Insomnelier (Santa Maria, CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sounds like a rock crusher, but that is partly a concession to cooling two bottles simultaneously; the heat has to go somewhere. The cooling times stated were rather optimistic as well, even given the caveat in the instructions. A standard champagne bottle will not fit in mine. Placing a thermometer into a cork, and measuring the actual temperature reveals that the liquid inside can be considerably warmer than the temperature setting after the machine says that the cycle is complete ("Enjoy"). It measures the outside of the bottle, and then uses some figure to account for the bottle-to-contents gradient. Wrong number. It will eventually get there. It is quicker than the `fridge, maintains temperature fairly well during consumption, and does not use ice and/or water. Useful, but value for money is not particularly good.

This was given to me as a gift so I cannot return it. It is so noisy that I cannot even keep in in the same room with me. Do not buy this chiller unless you plan to keep it in a closet or the garage.

The Waring Pro PC200 wine cooler looks very nice and it is compact. Unfortunately it only looks good, it makes such a noise that is like having a fan 10 inches from you head. Super noisy. It does a good job if you place it a closet. I like the independent temperature setting.
To summarize: good idea and style, poor job on the noise level. Returned to the store :(

Cooling fan extremly noisy to the point of being distractive . Product returned to manufacturer for this reason.
