Although it looks good and works well, I have had to turn it off as it’s too noisy.
Had this installed for a few months now, its quite and looks grea
Delighted with this cooler. Runs quietly in the background. As I’ve no champagne (just now) I took bottom shelf out and put some cans in. Looks very smart in my kitchen.
This wine cooler is the first one we have bought. It seems very simple to use, looks smart and has plenty of space for the number of bottles/cans we want to store. The only issue is the technical spec says the door is reversible – it is not. The technical information is incorrect. We therefore had to rearrange the area which we had allocated to position it. Quite annoying.

This is a great product but having ordered two units (fully confirmed) only one arrived.
Amazon help line claimed that the second unit was en route and would be delivered within the hour. Contacted the courier who denied that they had another to deliver. Contacted Amazon customer service again who acknowledged the problem and placed an additional order, on my behalf, for the second unit. The agent had difficulty understanding my issue and persistently talked over my explanation. I eventually spoke with the supervisor who did understand my issue.
I have now received an email from Amazon asking for the second unit to be returned as they still believe that two units were delivered from the initial order.
Poor communication!

A great wine cooler. Much better than some cheaper models around
NOTHING to dislike….
What to like:
Quality product
Great value for money
Very good capacity… 34 bottles
Either chilling white wine down to 5 degrees or keeping red at between 12-18 degrees
Mesmerising blue light (on/off option)
Will be buying another one shortly…
We’ve had this drinks fridge for two months now and can say it is worth ever star of 5 stars!! It holds a massive number of bottles of wine, beer, soft drinks, cartons, cans, champagne. You can have the light turned on permanently or turn it off if you prefer (it is a blue led light but you could change the bulb to a white one if desired). It is super quiet when it’s running and keeps drinks beautifully cold. The added bonus is it looks really classy in our kitchen. We received an email and were invited to choose a time slot, the delivery was quick an efficient even during the 2nd lockdown. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fridge!!
Just the job for us. Plenty of good storage keeping our whites at a cool drinkable temp. The only slight grumble would be the bottom rack design. A little adjustment would allow champagne and fatter presecco bottles to fit. All in all very happy with this product.

PERFECT SIZE, LOOKS GOOD,CHILLS WINE TO PREFECTION AND FAST DELIVERY
Good Value for money wine fridge. Great delivery service. Nice quiet good looking fridge.
Hand fridge for wine storage, shelves are close together so had the odd bigger bottle that doesn’t fi
Wish i hadnt bothered with the previous Samsungs/Bosch
Thanks also to the people who sold it as delivery was perfect, polite and seamless

Just received this wine cooler, however so far it looks great and chills perfectly.
Good value for money and arrived ahead of stated delivery date and delivery was very efficient and organised.
Lovely item, fits perfectly in the space. Blue light interior, looks lovely in the dark kitchen.
Highly recommended
Early days but enjoying this drinks fridge. Has plenty of holders, which frees up room in the now ‘food fridge’. The stainless steel borders do mark quite easily but can be sorted with a wipe. If we had had the extra cash we probably would go integrated, for the seamless finish, but this is smart enough not to jar with the rest of the kitchen. Otherwise it keeps the wine et all at the desired temperature, which was the main reason for buying.

It’s a bit tight for some bottle shapes. But if you can get them in it’s very efficient at cooling
It’s a great fridge with a wide temperature range of 5 – 18 degrees. I put beer bottles, wine, prosseco, cava, plastic 1 litre soda water bottles, even juice cartons in there. A bit of a squeeze for the biggest bottles but thay go. Useful tray at the bottom for e.g. tonic water cans. It looks nice and has a useful and attractive blue light and a child lock to prevent accidental change of temperature. Arrived well packaged, in good condition and very quickly indeed. You can remove any/all shelves if required. It’s quiet too. Good value for money IMO.

Perfect for what I needed. Fits all my wine & spirits in, as well as a few mixers. At first I thought it wasn’t cool enough but checked about 5-10hrs after first put in and chilly!!! Definitely glad I got this…. I k ow it says 34 but I have managed to squeeze a few small cans & bottles of water as well in the gaps.
Would buy again or a bigger one!!
Love this I bought it for my OH’s Birthday – which is actually tomorrow, but we unpacked it when it arrived (Quick Delivery) – as we wanted it to have plenty of time to Chill! It is quiet even though it is standing on ancient Floor Boards. very impressed thus fa
Good size and quality for the price.
Delivery smooth and quick delivery
This is my third wine cooler and by far the best. Beautifully chilled wine and the lighting in the unit looks great at night. Highly recommended.
Works well with 30 wine bottles and two champagne bottles at the base. Up to 6C difference between bottom and top of fridge and at various times at the same location but achieves target temperature down to and below 5C. Smart appearance and nice blue light for evening display.
After much research i was concerned about noise and quality. This fridge sits in our kitchen and is very quiet and the temp control is perfect keeping wine very chilled looks great and the blue light just adds that touch of perfection. Great value for the money
Love this! Very sturdy fridge and blue light looks great and contents chilled perfectly- highly recommend
A lovely little fridge, it holds what it says it will and looks great with the smart blue light. The temperature seems to remain constant and is certainly cool enough for a good chilled drink. The quietness is amazing, overall a great product that not only looks good but works well too.
Nice quality product that fits in well in our pantry.
keeps the wine chilled. a bit of water found at the bottom of cooler but I think this is from the beer cans kept in it.
This was a damaged item that I bought for a great price, the dent in door is unnoticeable and I love it.
we bought it for our bar, we are a pub/restaurant and wanted a wine fridge we could position on the counter where it looks great. just not sure what the plastic tray is for but ut does exactly what we want.
Excellent product
Pity about the small dent on the side
Really pleased with this wine cooler, love the blue light and the wine temperature is grea
Excellent product. Really quiet and elegant. All my wine and beers are perfectly chilled
Having read and re-read other reviews, I was anxious 1) that the cooler maintained a low operating temperature to keep Sauvignon Blanc chilled and 2) had flexible storage space to cope with both Christmas champers and non-alcohol drink bottles.
For the temperature, my cynicism led to the purchase of a fridge thermometer. It has demonstrated that the Russell Hobbs Wine Cooler has stayed right on the 7c target. Interestingly, it also serves as a warning as to how rapidly the temperature increases every time the door opens.
For standard wine bottles, there is a core storage space of 6 racks x 5 slots = 30 bottles. There is also a flexible space at the bottom which can accommodate four more bottles or “odds and sods”. If you store champagne it takes up more space, say three per rack and the gaps in between can be filled by something like beer cans, mixer bottles or reversed wine bottles. The latter isn’t aesthetically pleasing but since the cooler is stored behind doors, who cares?
It is smart enough to feature in your kitchen but for us the advantage of having it “out of the way” is that we have got creative in jamming it full of everything from gin to lager, eiswein to Maltesers.
The operation is simplicity itself. Up/down/set temperature and on/off light. As for noise, I hear it a handful of times a year. These occur when a a 24 bottle re-stock takes place whilst the central heating is going full blast in mid-winter. I can live with that.
Why wait a year to review? On delivery it was not as solid, heavy, robust-looking as its predecessor. I had my doubts. They have been banished.

Perfect Winecooler great value for money & perfect size. I wanted an A energy model that was quiet & efficient. I am delighted with this purchase. Was delivered within two days and the service was excellent.
Great wine fridge. As it’s not as deep or wide as most wine fridges it fits perfectly under our stairs. Excellent delivery service as well efficient and delivered on time .
This product seems to do the job well. No issues with the wine chilling. Unfortunately, though, it has come with a damaged door attachment, which will need to be repaired.
We ordered the wine cooler in for Christmas as I didn’t want the normal fight with bottles in food in my fridge. The wine cooler solved the problem. Quiet running, excellent product.
The product looked very good and it does the job perfectly. Would recommend it.
Works well. But only had it a week or so and had about 6 emails bugging me for a review
Fits under the unit perfectly and the blue light is lovely in the evening.
Having looked around and not wanting to spend a lot on a wine fridge we are beyond happy with this item and would recommend.
Arrived early than suggested and well packed so good all round
I love this, temp is nice and cold and I love the blue light at night. Get i
Fits neatly under breakfast bar, arrived early. No other issues so fa
Bought this for our restaurant, looks classy, and does the job a treat, the blue LED light inside works well with the tinted glass looks far more expensive than its price, i would RECOMMEND this to any one for the price and design.
Good price. Sensible size. Quiet. Just what I wanted to free up space in my kitchen fridge.
Very practical and pleasing on the eye. Loves so sophisticated with the blue lighting and smoked glass door. Can adjust temp easily. Love it!
Product as described the only minor niggle I would report is that the temperature light does not stay on so you can’t see if the unit is working unless you listen or switch on the internal light. Otherwise product as described and sales process went smoothly.
Order Sunday came Tuesday very well packaged opened straight away plugged in straight away switch on 3 hours later put the wine and bear in very happy with the temperature no problems very happy with this purshire
Similar product to chiller it replaces. Hope it lasts longer than it’s predecessor!
Super fast delivery and really pleased with wine cooler. Would highly recommend supplier and product.
Great fridge for all types of drink. Chills to 5degrees so colder than most wine chillers and good for beer.
Fast delivery. Easy to install and it fits bottles of prosecco no problem! Love i
Delivered as agreed. Works as it says on the tin.
Seems to be working well. At least it is a proper fridge. Starts making odd noises but that seems to be about evenness of footing and stops with a little movement.
Perfect size. My champagne is lovely and chilled to perfection. Really stylish
Best to avoid putting larger (fat) bottles (Prosecco etc.) on the main shelves but there is space for these at the bottom.
My only complaint is that, having bought this as a birthday present, I then had to spend nearly as much again to fill it up 🙂
Everything I had hoped for and very quiet. Service also good, arrived when it was promised and guys helpful when delivering.
Exactly what we wanted – looks very attractive and is easy to work. Holds both straight and curved sided bottles too which having read other reviews we did not expect.
This wine cooler (the holy grail as its more affectionately known) is amazing. It replaces a dishwasher which in my opinion are highly overrated!
Looks great in situ and the when lit it looks amazing. Fits lovely into our kitchen and keeps bottles lovely and cold. Best buy ever!!
I’m sure you would be happy with your purchase.
Looks really good, my only downside was that I was unable to put anything on top of i
Delivery was excellent arriving promptly and undamaged.
The biggest issues I had read apparently being that the cooler could be noisy and did not always reach the temperature indicated, or that the temperature could fluctuate. Based on this I was pleased when I started the cooler to find it seems to be almost silent, so much so that at first I actually wondered if it was working. It was!!
Secondly before even putting in any wine I decided to check the temperature control in case the reported issues materialized and I would then return the product. I used 2 separate fridge thermometers to monitor the temperature, which I adjusted up and down over several days. Performance was excellent with all three devices, the cooler and the thermometers agreeing the same temperature from the lowest setting of 5, through to warmer settings.
I would recommend this cooler as an excellent product for the price, so much so that I am purchasing a 2nd one to keep my red wine. Why this rather than one of the bigger dual zone coolers? Well quite simply the dimensions. This cooler is less deep than most and therefore fits my space requirements and I believe with a little inventive adjusting of the feet I can stack them.

Upon taking it out and setting it up, we have never looked back. Set it to 5 and have filled with wine and beer. It saves us so much room in our normal fridge and looks good in the spot where a dryer should go.
Best purchase I have made and have not looked back. When it’s dark and the blue light is on…love it!!!

Love this fridge. Not only does it look good it works brilliantly and we’ve used it extensively since it arrived. Fantastic purchase.
Fridge looks great and fits 95% of bottles we have put in there. If a bottle does not fit, it is a stupidly designed bottle IMO, just keep that one in the normal fridge…
The wine cooler eventually arrived…I ordered it on the 19th of May and it finally arrived on he 4th of June. The seller took 10 days to contact me to confirm my phone number which there was no mention of needing to do so during the ordering process. Very slow at replying to emails. Having said all that, the cooler is working very well, well made, very quiet and would recommend it.
Looks good. Dimensions were fairly accurate.One minor irritant was that it Didn’t come with the bottom basket as shown in all of the Pictures. This seemed to have been substituted for some kind of small bottle holder.
Takes most sizes of bottles. Very quiet in operation, cheap to run and looks great when the blue LED is on!
lovely absolutely delighted keeps wine lovely and cool quiet also looks great would definitely recommend
Not really sure how irritated I can be about such a first world problem so I just remove one shelf to make space when needed for fizz.
Very compact. Slightly noisy, but then again it stays in the kitchen, so it’s not the quietest place in the house.
Keeps the drinks really cold and fresh! Really happy with it.
Would definitely recommend to any ‘average’ wine lover.
I’m in love with it, great product and fast delivery, great but only 1 thing temperature won’t go any lower than 5 degrees. But apart from that it’s just great.
It’s very quiet and I like the blue lighting/glow. It does collect finger marks, however these are fairly easy to remove.
I did read up on quite a few wine coolers before making my choice and this one stood out based on size, number of bottles and of course price. It’s been running now for only 2 weeks, but there have been no issues at all to date.
Very pleased with this product and also very happy with the Yodel delivery man who brought it up to my 2nd floor apartme
We like it but the temperature measures & shows in Fahrenheit, despite telephone calls still not resolved! Instruction manual stated it should be in Centigrade.
It keeps the wine cold as per the setting and you cannot here it running. Would recommend to anyone thinking of buying a wine cooler.
