Kalamra KRC-52SZF 4.2 Cu.ft 50 Bottle Single Zone Wine Refrigerator with S/S Door and Handle, Black

The media could not be loaded. This fridge is great for the price point. Here is some helpful information:1. It arrives is a large box with a pallet delivered to front door.2. Unboxing takes awhile at it's packed very well. You would benefit by having scissors and box cutters handy.3. Give yourself plenty of time to unbox and deal with the Styrofoam padding. It can be a little messy so have a broom and hand held vacuum ready for clean up.4. Cut down all the cardboard boxing sides to expose the fridge. The fridge is on a thick padding and stable.5. There will be those packing pieces under the fridge, tilt it and vacuum before moving it to it's location.6. One person can move the fridge if this person has decent strength and maneuvering capabilities. My fridge was moved down a flight of stairs by one person.7. Let the fridge sit for 24 hours before plugging it in. Very important.8. The fridge handle needs to be attached, and it is very simple to do so.9. There are two keys that come with the fridge, put them in a safe location as they are small and can easily be misplaced.10. After the fridge is plugged in let it set another 24 hours before placing items in the fridge.What I like: this fridge is very quiet, functional, and has a great aesthetic. It fits perfectly under a counter. The shelves are movable, and the blue light inside of the fridge is pretty cool.Overall I think the fridge is great for my application and recommend, especially for the price point. There are so many under-counter fridges to pick from, but they are often well over $1,000. I have a nice, but basic house, and would prefer not to spend that kind of money for a TV room fridge. That was the main reason I picked this fridge.

Bought it to replace an old Sears model that had condensation issues.Pros:1. Big, and very very solid. I got one 24" wide and it did not disappoint. Metal shelves that are extremely sturdy. Lots of shelves (maybe even too many?) you could space them about every 5 inches or so... I think it's intended as a wine fridge.2. Vents to the front--good for under counter slide in applications where you don't want heat build up behind the unit.3. Good temperature control.4. Really quiet. Unit is pretty quiet when running. The bonus is that it is SILENT! when it's at temperature (compressor appears to shut off entirely). Never realized how dang loud my previous unit was.5. Has wine bottle shaped molded bottom, so with all the shelves in place, in addition to that, you can put 5-6 wine bottles at the very bottom of the unit.6. Nice LED light inside.7. It's pretty. Stainless steel, glass doors.Comments:1. Temp only goes down to 38. This is fine, but not quite ice cold. On the other hand, no icing up. :-)2. Shaped bottom is not quite as cold as the rest of the fridge. Wine in the bottom is probably in the low 40s--it's next to the compressor etc...3. Sorta pricey. Designer examples are about $1K, so it's less than that. Seems extremely sturdy and it looks great, so I'd rate it as a good value.

This cooler looks great, but doesn't hold wine at the temperature on the unit at all. We unfortunately ordered this model and the larger similar model that hold 85 bottles of wine. Neither one cools wine to the stated temperature. After plugging in the units and loading them up with wine - so fun! We were so excited to have these in our cellar. Then, two days later I go to get a perfectly chilled white wine (finally - a Chardonnay at 48 degrees!), and it is over 50 degrees. Well, ok, I thought it was at the top, so maybe there is some temperature variance over the whole cooler. So, I turned the setting down a few degrees and checked the bottles the next day. Same thing - bottles at the top AND bottom were over 50 degrees, even though I had the temperature set at 44 F. I turned the cooler to its lowest setting and pulled some bottles out and chilled them in a regular refrigerator until they were 42 degrees. Then I put the bottles back in the cooler for a day. Unfortunately, same thing - 51 degree white wine. I check the temperature of bottles throughout the cooler with an infrared thermometer, so I am not looking at air temperature in the cooler, but the actual bottle temperature.I contacted the company and at first the seemed responsive. They sent an email asking a bunch of questions and had us check the vibration on the compressor and checking if the sides or top were hot. Nope and nope... although I thought at one time I did feel one of the sides and it was hot... In any case after answering all of the questions, the company service representative explains how refrigeration works (which I know - I work in the restaurant industry) and said that it was normal for there to be different air temperatures at different spots due to the compressor turning on and off. I have since replied multiple times explaining that I was measuring the temperature of the bottles, but they have stopped responding.I have no idea what to do next. We purchased TWO of these bloody things and neither works properly. They are quiet, but probably because they aren't doing a damn thing. They are both in a 62 degree cellar, so they shouldn't have a problem cooling to 55 and 46 F. They sat in the box for a month before we were done with construction and could get them plugged in, so I don't even know if we can return them anywhere. I would really like them to diagnose and fix the problem if possible.
