Lanbo 15 Inch Built In Wine Fridge Cooler, 33 Bottles Compressor Wine Cellar

The Lanbo LW46D has a lot going for it. The stainless door looks great and matches my other stainless appliances perfectly. The wooden shelves are very nice, and I prefer them to the wire shelves. The shelves are on smooth drawer slides and can be extended to give you plenty of room to see the wine bottles on the back of the shelves. The bottom shelf is smaller than the others to make room for the compressor and other mechanical components in the cooler's back. The smaller drawer can be slid out as well. br>I set the temperature in the upper compartment to 50 degrees Fahrenheit and in the lower compartment to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I used an infrared thermometer to check the temperatures after a few days. The top was 51 degrees, while the bottom was 60 degrees. The cooler does an excellent job of keeping things cool. br>It's a quiet cooler. The fan that circulates cool air, not the compressor, is the most unsightly component. If you listen closely when the cooler turns on, you can hear the compressor, but the fan noise (which isn't particularly loud) masks it; a slower fan speed would probably have been a quieter and better engineering choice. br>There are a few things about the LW46D cooler that I don't like. The back feet are apparently not adjustable, so I had to shim them in order to make the cooler level from front to back and still have it fit nicly. The power cord plug protrudes directly from the wall. I had to buy a right angle plug adapter to give me an extra inch or so of space because my space was so limited from front to back. Finally, a small pushbutton/plunger switch to turn on the light when the door was opened would have been simple to install. None of these are major flaws, but a little more careful engineering would have made this an even better product. br>My previous wine cooler lasted 20 years. Let's hope the Lanbo lasts the same amount of time.

This past Wednesday afternoon, the Lanbo wine cooler refrigerator arrived at our house. We took it out of the box and moved it into the house, where it looks fantastic. We waited 36 hours to be safe after following the instructions to wait at least 24 hours before turning on the electricity, so I plugged it in this morning (Friday) and got an error code for the lower portion of the dual zone cooling almost immediately. The top worked fine, but despite restarting the refrigerator, the error code remained. The error code isn't explained in the manual, so there's no way of knowing what's wrong. Trying to get technical help today has been extremely frustrating. The Lanbo website provides two phone numbers, but neither can be reached by a live person or left a message. They just kept ringing and ringing. The website had a problem submission form, but when it was filled out, it immediately displayed a software/connection error message. We want it to work, but we can't seem to find any assistance! If it works, it appears to be excellent, but proceed with caution. If there is a problem, it appears that no one will be there to help you. br>Four days after the initial post, I am returning the refrigerator, which is a difficult task. Late Friday night, I received a note from someone at Lanbo asking me to describe the problem and then responding to the information I sent by saying that a technical manager would look into it. Late Monday night, I received a message informing me of the following: 1. Wires that came loose during shipping could be the cause of the problem, or it could be a combination of the two. It's possible that one of the sensors is broken. They also sent me pictures of the unit's back, with no explanation as to which wires on the power and circuit boards needed to be tightened. I didn't feel knowledgeable or confident enough to go into the electronics with a screwdriver, and if the issue was a sensor, I didn't want to fix it myself. br>I'm sorry it ended up this way; it's a nice refrigerator, and the reviews show that others have had much better luck with it. This is the first time an appliance has arrived and not worked properly from the start, and dealing with it has taken a significant amount of time and effort. I'm going to need a new refrigerator, it appears.

I'm disappointed, to say the least. I bought this wine fridge based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews, thinking I'd be able to use both zones, the lower for reds, which I like to keep around 57 degrees Fahrenheit. 58 degrees, and the whites, which I prefer to serve at around 10 degrees. The temperature has dropped 15 degrees. well- This refrigerator isn't going to do that. If I set the top (colder wine area) to 45, the bottom (warmer wine area) would not rise above 50. I can't seem to get the bottom to stay put, no matter how low I set it. The temperature is 50 degrees. So I went over to the design and took a look at it; Between the two zones is a metal divider with about a 1/2-inch gap between the glass and the metal divider- So I used a piece of weather stripping with a sticky side to cover the gap. I've managed to reduce the delta to around 8% now. 9 degrees, resulting in a top temperature of 47 degrees and a bottom temperature of 56 degrees. Closer, but still far from the advertised operating ranges of 41 to 60 degrees on top and 50 to 65 degrees on the bottom. Even without the weather stripping, it should have worked. Overall, the reds are a little cool, and the whites are a little hotter than I prefer. One more thing: I considered cutting my loss and only using it for whites, but then you're stuck with whites on the bottom at 50 degrees (the lowest bottom setting), which are warmer than those on top. The images are for illustration purposes only; the first shows the weather stripping, and the second shows the product closed and installed- both look good, but I'd choose another brand if I could.

This cooler is stunning, and the shelves are fantastic. The good news, however, comes to an end there. The disadvantages can be found below. 1. br>br> It's a very loud environment! It reaches a decibel level of 60, which is far too loud; you can hear it from the other room. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br It changes on a regular basis. I have it set at 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and it rises to 57 degrees Fahrenheit every 30 minutes or so, then drops to 54 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. I purchased two thermometers because I was concerned that the temperature was not accurate. The top shelf, I discovered, was spot on. However, there was a 6-degree difference two shelves down! As a result, some wines are served 6 degrees cooler than others. Not good! 4. br>br> Last but not least, customer service: I emailed the company about everything mentioned above and received no response. br>br>I strongly advise you to stay away from this product.
