Our budget is around $600, and of the posts I found already, it looks like conversations revolve around fridges under $200. I don't know what to look for in a wine fridge, but obviously consistent temperature is a plus. I'm not too concerned about the fridge holding a ton of bottles, but about 30-50 would be ideal since it seems that most fridges don't actually hold what they claim (due to varying bottle sizes). I'm also interested in a company that has good customer service in case something were to happen to the fridge once purchased. There are a lot of comments about Haier, Vinotemp and Danby having either poor quality (freezing the wine or breaking down) or horrible customer service. Any help is appreciated - thanks.

They have all kinds and sizes Mon Nov 09 09:04:39 -0800 2009 5165968 84067 cfisch 1 5167179 Oops. I am apparently not that good at math. It looks like our budget is actually $250. Any specific brand recommendations would be great. Thanks! Mon Nov 09 09:40:55 -0800 2009 5165968 65394 Pip 2 5175394 What I have found is that the cheaper models have been garbage. I made the mistake years ago to try units from both Haier and Danby, and I no longer have these units as they stopped working. Best out there in my opinion are Eurocave and Avanti, however you will not find one for $250. Craigslist maybe. You never know! -mJ Thu Nov 12 07:46:06 -0800 2009 5167179 192452 njfoodies
