EdgeStar TWR181ES

Pros: Low Cost, Attractive, Has 2 cooling zones

Cons: Loud Fan on continuously, can't be place against walls, proved to be unreliable

The Bottom Line: Find another choice

Review: Received the EdgeStar Cooler as a gift. It is very attractive and I was was quite pleased when I took it out of the box. It was downhill from there. First off it uses thermoelectric cooling which the manufacturer claims "is very quiet", since there ...

Pros: Very low price and weight. Supposedly low vibrations and better for the wine.

Cons: Completely unreliable. Just as noisy as traditional fridge. Consumes quite a bit of power.

Review: Cooler worked OK for 5 months, then the lower zone stopped cooling. Edgestar sent me a new cooling node to replace myself. It worked for 2 months, then stopped cooling again. Edgestar had me ship cooler to them at my expense for repair. It worked ...

Pros: None

Cons: Does not work

Review: We left room in the kitchen on both sides and rear as required in the write up. But our remodelling was delayed and we did not open the unit for 3 months. When we did we could not get the unit to cool to the correct temp in either zone. Compact ...

Pros: CHEAP

Cons: Everything is a con on this.

Review: I purchased this model from Compact Appliance and it was damaged when it arrived. I had to fight with them to send me a new one. They finally did, now 5 months later the temperature nodes are not working and it ruined $600 worth of wine. They are sending ...
