Very frustrated with this cooler. After only 6 months of use the cooler drips so much water inside the unit that it pours out onto the counter. Target won't return it, the company won't fix it. What a waste.

I bought this cooler in January 2008 at Target for $50 on sale. It cooled scores of bottles of wine in its 2.5 years of life before it stopped cooling last week.

I don't think $20 per year is too much to pay to keep my wine cool. For those of you that it only lasted 1 year or so, that is the risk you run for purchasing the cheapest thing you can find. Accept it for what it is and suck it up. It you want top quality and many years of service, spend the money to get that level of quality.

Do not buy anything emerson!!! I received an Emerson wine cooler as a bridal shower gift in May because my husband lived in an apartment after we were married we did not have the space to put it anywhere. We moved about one year later and I was finally able to open the product and just under 3 months later it died!! I got on the internet and searched the product and it seems that everyone is having this problem. I called the company to see if they would do anything for me because I had only used it for 3

The control unit died in less than 2 years. while it was quiet when it did work, it did run constantly.

I had one of the older versions of this cooler for about 18 months, after which the internal circuitry went dead bug and it would not cool below 65 degrees F, ran constantly and noisily. I checked with a repair facility and they could not do anything with it. Bought a new one, the same as advertised here, about 6 months ago through Amazon for about 60 bucks and it has done quite well. Took about four hours to drop the temp to 55 degrees F with 8 bottles of wine in it, and the temp has stayed there since.

Wine cooler? - not so much. Like everyone else here mine just conked out after a little over a year and is currently warmer inside (a crisp 85 degrees) than the rest of my house is.

Mine didn't last anywhere near a year. It had trouble maintaining 63 degree wine after just 5 months. Cleaned the filter behind the fan a couple of times and now 10 months after buying it the fan stopped turning. My wine is 94 degrees inside this cooler.

Don't buy this piece of junk.

I feel lucky mine lasted 2 years before crapping out. Awful, horrible piece of junk. I actually rapped on the back with my hand the fan started working for a short time. Am I supposed to call Fonzie to fix this? Then I saw the back: "Made in China." Nuff said.

This is our second one, as the other one stopped cooling after about a year and a half. However, the size is unusual and works really well in the space we have. We plan to clean the back filter area periodically (as someone in these reviews suggested) and hopefully we can get a little more life out of this one.

7 months from purchase date, my Emerson 8 bottle countertop wine fridge stopped working. No support from company. This is the FIRST online review I have ever written. (this is how ticked off I am). Steer clear of this item and company!!!!!

We received our wine cooler as a gift two years ago. Within a year we couldn't get it to maintain its target temperature. This weekend we found the temperature to be 92 degrees, about 30 degrees warmer than our house!! Completely ruining the wine inside the cooler. When I called Emerson costumer service they informed me that the warranty is only good for one year and without a receipt they couldn't do anything. The costumer service representative was not sympathetic or helpful in the least bit. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I received one of these wine coolers last Christmas also. Within six months, the temperature keep rising. Once it would not cool under 60*, I unplugged it, put it back in the box and tried to return it to Target only to find out that Target does not stand behind the appliances that they sell.

Same experience as the rest of the reviewers here. The unit stopped working right after warranty runs out. Is this a coincidence or does Emerson do this on purpose to save money?

Wish we had read the reviews FIRST. As others have written, in less than one year, it quit cooling properly - sometimes not cooling at all. I contacted the company to find out how to get it repaired or replaced; will cost more to package and ship than we paid for it... so essentially, NO WARRANTY. We will be shopping for a more reliable brand!

I got this wine frig for Christmas last year. It stopped cooling a few months ago and completely went out last week. Do not buy this product! It's junk

A little after one year of use (just in time for the warranty to expire) the unit almost completely stopped cooling. It is set at 55 degrees and the temperature readout says it is at 65 degrees, ten below room temperature, but I don't even think it's that cool. Save your money.

It took less than a year for the cooler's performance to deteriorate where it could not reach the target temperature anymore and it keeps getting worse with time. Avoid it, it just isn't worth the aggravation.

I received this wine cooler as a gift for Christmas. In six months it has slowly stopped cooling. It is now unplugged and waiting for disposal.

Following little more than 1-year of service this unit stopped cooling. Even when working was not very efficient and will not accept very tall wine bottles. Other than 1-year warranty can find no information on part or repair options.
