It took three attempts to get an undamaged, properly functioning Vinotemp but now that I have one—I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Despite the problems, Costco was determined to get it right. I can’t say that the Vinotemp HQ was very easy to work with...but, once again, I’m happy with the end result.

The unit has been plugged in for about three weeks. All is good except that a knocking sound has been heard on an occasion but has always stopped after a few knocks - I concerned its the compressor and if it is doing it now - how long will it last?

Nice unit, but 300 bottles is a stretch - filling to 300 capacity will requiring stacking bottles 4-5 bottles high, two stacks deep (front to back). To retrieve a bottle in the middle of the front stack will require removing bottles on top of one another. If bottle is in the back stack, more bottles to remove and not break! ~230-240 Bordeaux bottles is more accurate (2-high, 2-deep = 30 per shelf)... but this will also require removing bottles to retrieve as the shelves cannot be pulled out due to the weight of 30 bottles and likely slippage of bottles stacked on one another. Temp gauge not accurate. Had to increase/decrease temp settings to get the refrigerator to the appropriate temp using an external temp guage.

When I ordered, I was told to expect a call within a week that my cooling unit would be ready for pickup. Never got a call. I finally got in touch with someone 2 weeks later who informed me my unit had been at the warehouse ready for pickup for a while.

I needed to level the the door and it costs over $35.00 for the plastic cover strip that you need to replace as you have to remove it to get to the screws. Now my Vinotemp sits there with the plastic cover strip hanging off. 35.00 is a rip off.

I wish it was quieter. My last one wasn’t this loud. Seems to work good except for that.

Although the company advertises a quiet machine, this one is rather noisy and I am disappointed.

When registering for warranty the serial number is required. I would suggest the owner manual include reference as to where the serial number is located. Can I assume my ticket has been punched and I am registered? Process is a bit unclear.
