Wine lover's best friend
This was one of the major items on my wedding registry and I'm so glad my friend bought this for me. This wine cellar is very quite and you're able to adjust the temperature according to your preferences, outside temperature, etc. It does not take up too much space. It fits so well on a small coffee table in my dining room along with the beer tender!
It definitely comes in handy when having a party so you don't have to keep running to your fridge and opening it up in case you have "smelly" food in your regular refrigerator. Also it make the wine very accessible right from the dining hall.
My only wish is that the slots would be bigger to fit my thicker bottles. Other than that, I've had no complaints so far!

Great Countertop Wine Fridge
This was an excellent purchase. We have limited space in our home for a full size wine fridge and this was a wonderful compliment to our kitchen. It works well, the settings are adjustable and accurate and it's nice to look at.

Cuisinart 8-bottle Wine Cooler a HIT!
I purchased the Cuisinart 8-bottle wine cooler as a wedding gift for my nephew and his fiance-- I received a phone call immediately after they opened the gift because they were thrilled with it!! They mentioned how nice it will be to chill their wine and not have to cram it into their fridge when they're planning to entertain. It's compact but attractive in their kitchen... it was not on their gift registry but they were excited to receive something unexpected and fun to use.

Love it!
This was one of the best gifts we got for our wedding! We absolutely love it and it works great. The temperature may be adjusted to your needs. We wish we would have gotten the bigger one because it's always full.

Great Idea
We received this off our registry; even though it says countertop we were surprised that it was so small. It's a little long, but works with our countertop in a corner; would definitely make sure measurements work before purchasing because of length. You can store reds & whites together but can't separate temperatures; however they recommend general storage temperatures that work well. We really taste a difference in our wines when chilled properly!

Nice Product
We purchased this wine cellar to store some of the nice wine we purchased while in the Napa Valley. Thus far, we have been pleased with the purchase. As this is a wine "cellar" as opposed to a wine fridge, its cooling system is not reliant on a compressor, so it runs very quietly which is great for us since we have a great room set up in our condo. Secondly, the design is quite nice and matches well with our stainless steel appliances. The size is also great if you have a smaller condo/apt. It does run a little deep, but I suppose that's unavoidable when taking into account the height of wine bottles plus the internal componentry. The reason we're rating this 4 stars as opposed to 5, and as some other reviews have alluded too, this cellar can only hold 8 bottles if all of the bottles are of a specific design. Any bottle with a slightly oversized diameter (such as a champagne bottle) will require you to remove one of the racks, thereby reducing it to a 6 bottle wine cellar at best. Moreover, if you have a wine bottle that is longer/taller than a standard bottle, it will not fit at all (as is the case with one of our bottles). We were aware of this when making the purchase and decided it was worth the sacrifice, but if this is something that will bother you, then this probably isn't the wine cellar for you. All in all, we think it's a nice product that is well worth the money.

be careful
My new husband and I just got married this past January and received this wine cooler last night as a wedding gift. Right now it's in our dining room. It's a very attractive piece, however, because of its size (kinda long) its hard to find a better spot for it on our apartment; so right now it sits on the floor in our dining room. It's very sleek looking and alought stainless steel, it doesnt attract unwanted finger prints! (YEY!!)
We chose to ask for the 8 bottle wine cooler, and not a larger modle, because alought we love to drink wine, 8 bottles seemed like enough to keep at one time. My problem with this -8 bottle- cooler is that it does not hold 8 bottles. Unless the bottles you pick out are all of the same size requirement, you will not fit 8 bottles in here. What I mean is this, I'm not trying to fit a jug of wine or a bottle larger then a 750ml (regular sized) bottle in here. However, if the wine bottle is anymore then skinny, it wont fit between the shelves. A sure flaw! 750ml bottles of wine come in all shapes and sizes, however, most bottles are not supper skinny and for this reason I could not score this model higher than a 3:5. My 8 bottle wine cooler can only hold 4 bottles of wine. The only reason I didnt give this product a 2:5 was because the shelves were removable. What a shame!

Giving It A Second Chance
We purchased our first 8 Bottle Cuisinart Wine Cellar less than a year ago & loved everything about it. It is one of those kitchen appliances that enhances the look of the kitchen--very striking & nicely designed and it was so quiet. However...after 10 mos the motor developed a very loud, irritating noise (although it still cooled properly). We contacted Cuisinart & they were very friendly & efficient in the "return/replacement" process. We now have our new one & are keeping our fingers crossed! I would've given it 5 stars, but just not so sure about the reliability.

Great little cellar
It's just the right size, looks great, fits under standard height kitchen cabinets, and is smudge proof stainless steel. The temperature seems very accurate and it has made my wines much more enjoyable.

Nice unit, but not sized properly
This is a nice little cooler for your wine -- but the inside is a bit too tight for some wine bottles.
Two examples:
I have 750ml bottles of German Riesling. (these bottles are a little bit taller than your normal wine bottle.) The only way to make them fit is to push them all the way back, so that are wedged between the back wall and the front door;
and I have some South Australia white wine that basically won't fit at all, because the diameter of the bottle is a little greater than your average wine bottle. (You can make such a bottle fit, but you have to push it in with some force, since it will be rubbing against the rack above,)
Bottom line, the engineers who designed this unit didn't seem to consider the fact that your basic wine bottle comes in slightly different sizes in some countries.
But, if you only buy American wine you shouldn't have any trouble.

Wine Fridge
This wine fridge is so perfect for someone who enjoys wine but doesn't have room for a large wine fridge. It fits perfectly on a side board in a kitchen or dining room. The design is clean and modern and the perfect addition to any party or gathering. I LOVE my wine fridge!

Favorite Wedding Gift
My husband didn't want us to register for this, but it's truly our favorite wedding gift. It fits on our bar and saves us refrigerator space. I don't know how I lived without it!

This was a wedding present and we love it - great to keep a few bottles of wine in and it looks great out too! Would definitely recommend it!

Nice and Cool...
Compared to the old square model this one is top notch. The overall depth of the unit was a bit surprising - the back unit is a bit more bulky than anticipated. This could not easily be placed on a countertop without having a lot of room. It does have a nice drip tray in back (be sure you check it when it is humid) that makes you feel a bit more confident in placing the unit on the floor. It is quiet (a plus compared to the old model) and the light can be turned on and off. There were no specifics in the box as per unplugging and plugging in but the product website provides more details. Perfect for storing your favorite wines and having quick access.

I wish I had this!
This is #1 on my wish list right now.... my neighbor just got this and it is soooo handy. Apart from storing the wine well at a perfect temperature, this unit is quite attractive and a great size. I've seen other wine refrigerators that are far too bulky and take up floor space - this fits perfectly om a counter or in a nook somewhere in your kitchen. I want this!

Love this cooler
This wine is perfect for the beginning wirne connoisseur. It chills the wine bottles to your perfect temperature. I could not imagine my life without it. Also it makes quite the statement in your kitchen or dining room. It is a conversation piece and perfect for anyone!

Awesome Wedding Gift
We were very excited to register for this and more excited to receive it. It works great, fits well in our small kitchen and the wine is definitely cold enough to drink right out of the wine cellar. I would recommend to anyone!
