Kalamera 80 Bottle Freestanding Compressor Wine Cooler-Stainless Steel & Black/Single Zone Thermostat with Touch Control/Blue LED Lighting

Product came with a big dent on top of it.

Are you satisfied with the cooling performance of your new Kalamera product? Yes. It took a relatively short period of time to get to the correct temperature, holds the temperature well without running the compressor a lot, and returns to the temperature quickly after the door has been opened.What do you like about the design of your refrigerator, such as appearance, shelf design, lighting, etc.? The exterior appearance, black, with stainless door / handle, and glass front, is very attractive. The control panel at the top front is very simple and clean-looking.Does your product match or blend well with the style and décor of your kitchen, dining, or entertainment area? For me, I have no room in those areas, so my coolers are currently in the living room, where they don't match at all, but these would match well with both black and stainless appliances.Some refrigerators can be noisy and disrupt your home life. Are you satisfied with the quiet operation of your Kalamera product? Yes. These units are very quiet.Wine sediments should be disturbed as little as possible. Are you satisfied with the low vibration level of your product? Yes. There is little vibration apparent with these units.On the flip side, I see areas for improvement in the shelves. The shelf slats are placed differently on some shelves than on others, some of the shelves are short and don't pull out as far becuase of the fan intrusion into the back near the bottom, and the overall width/height makes storage of bottles with a larger circumference fit poorly without removing shelves. So if you have a lot of 'fat' bottles or sparkling wines, you can't fit the full 80 bottles into this fridge unless you remove shelves and stack the bottles on top of each other. It can work, but the beechwood shelves also seem a little flimsy.Oh - The only other downside on this machine - the instructions say the door swing can be flipped from hinges on the right to hinges on the left, but there are no pre-drilled / capped holes on the top left to make that switch, so I'm stuck with having to open the door a full 180 degrees to get into it at its current location, since I can't swap the swing. Not a big deal; just something to keep in mind when ordering.

I'm very happy with this wine cooler so far. Received well boxed and in great condition. I opened it and it was it great shape. I read the instructions and placed it in position and let it set as instructed. Plugged it in and set the temp. I gave it 24 hours and double checked the temp. The too shelves were about 3 degrees warmer than the lower shelves, and about that much above the indicated temp on the controller. The lower shelves were very close to indicated temp. There were no blemishes or marks. The handle assembled perfectly.I loaded my wines in and within about 2 hours everything had reached temp. I'm very happy.It doesn't hold the full number of bottles indicated with all reds, due to bottle shape, but it's close. This is primarily for long lay down bottles. Daily drinkers are stored in a cool shelving unit. I'm satisfied!UPDATE!So, I've had this about a year, and I am updating. I am still VERY happy with this unit. The temp is accurate within a couple of degrees, I find it varies a little bit from the top of the unit to the bottom, which is to be expected. Warmer air rises. I keep my reds in the lower section. This is a single zone unit, so it kind of works out well for me. When I want to open a white, I take them out and chill them a little more in the fridge first. This unit has been very reliable through summer and winter so far, keeping the temps very constant. I used a secondary thermometer for several months to verify the temps. Constant temp is so important to keeping wine. I'm thinking about a higher capacity cooler now!

This review is based mainly on the status of the product upon arrival. It arrived today, about 3 hours ago. I will write another review in a few weeks/months based on how well the product performs. The box was in nearly perfect condition upon arrival. I opened the box in my driveway where it was left by the delivery truck. The door hinge was broken, the bottom of the door had some serious damage, there are 2 screws that are stripped in the bottom of the fridge and won't/can't be screwed back in and 2 of the 4 small 1" pegs that the fridge sits on (to be lifted off the ground) were cracked and broken. I moved it inside, got it up on small blocks (off the ground) and got it plugged in. The shelves are cheap and flimsy, feel like they could break from too much weight from the wine alone. I currently have 61 bottles (bordeaux's, pinots, 375ml's, a magnum and nearly everything else in between) stored in it. I bet I could cram 6 more bordeaux style bottles, but not easily. I would count on this holding 60 bottles for you not more. If I didnt have to pay for shipping to return it, I would return it based on the status of the package upon arrival. If this product performs well and is able to hold a steady temperature at the top, middle and bottom of the fridge my opinion of this product may change. Stay tuned for another review down the road

Product is nice and very silent, but it does not achieve the defined set-up temperature. It stays at a higher temperature all the time. Capacity is also significant below 80 bottles, but I have not filled it up yet. I estimate it will fit no more than 65 bottles.
