HomeWell wine fridge?

Post by PaulG »

Edit: Apologies - the brand is Homewell, and it appears to be a thermoelectric cooler.

Well, to start off with, I think that the answer to my question is "you get what you pay for, and in this case that's not much", but I figured I'd ask anyway:

A friend's birthday is coming up, and he is into wine and has just bought a new apartment, so I thought I'd pool his friend's resources into getting a wine fridge. We have a budget of about $250, and so I thought a Dome fridge would be perfect. Unfortuantely these aren't going to be stocked anywhere until October.

The only other contender I've found in this pricerange is a 'Homewell' brand 28 bottle wine firdge sold by Homeart for $199.

Has anyone heard of these? Would I be silly to buy one? Is there any other option?

The bottles it will hold are probably only going to be for 2-4 years of storage, so its unlikely there will be any Grange of HoG in there!

Thanks so much,

P

Well, we decided to go ahead with the purchase, having negotiated them down to $149. I'll report back on how it goes!

Any updates on the fridge? I'm after a fridge on a budget and this one is within it!

I'm afraid not yet - the gift was given last night. I'll check in with the friend some time in the next couple of weeks to see how it's going!
