Both my brothers had a wine cooler that was Thermoelectric and the died in less than a year. Just how long can I expect it to last?

One of my friends has had this cooler for 3 years now. The interior lights quit a few months into it but she didn't care and still loves it (I think she could just replace the bulb but I don't know). Got my Mom one last year for Christmas and she loves it. Everything still works on her's including the interior light.

Well, we've had for at least 8 months now, and it seems to be ok. We had a larger one before, and the condenser crapped out and there was water all over the place. This one seems to be much more rugid.

I brought this wine cooler for my sister last year for Christmas and she just loves it. She has never had a problem with it. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I've had mine for approximately three years. No problems. I have three big dogs and four cats so I am diligent about keeping the area around it clean so it can function properly. I think this is a great product and often recommend it to my friends.

Mine has died after about a year of continuous use....maybe a year and a half tops.

This will astonish most of you (as it did me) but my DCC-1100 lasted about 7+ years, problem, free. And it was thoughtful enough to die after brewing my coffee this morning. This may have been pure luck/chance but I just bought the same model.

I've had mine for less than a year so I've no idea how long it will last. Over one year i'd say.

It runs as a small refrigerator will, shutting off once it reaches optimum temperature. I haven't seen a great increase in electrical usage. Any negligible power cost is offset by the convenience of having chilled wine at-the-ready.

Not sure..but I use this machine at my bar and it lasts about 9mos. I use it very often and it works great. I have no worries about replacing it because I use it in high volumes and the price is right,

We are at two years and counting and it still works good. I have not heard of it having a limited life. I have some blue ice packs that are ten years old and still freezing. Maybe the one you had was faulty and not typical.

I've purchased 2 of these from Amazon. The first one lasted just over a year and now the one I have seems fine and it's probably been a year or close to it. The information I got said it should last 1 year to 18 months.

I think our heat element died after 5 years but frankly we got our money's worth out of it. My husband then bought a bigger better smoker but we eventually ended up buying a 2nd old smokey as it made the best ribs ever.

You should contact Mr Beer and ask this question, mine never lasts that long! :)

Ours lasted maybe four months. We were shocked to get the ER message and find it had died so quickly.

These units use thermoelectric cooling which are only able to reduce the interior temperature about 20 degrees F below the outside temperature. Mine maintains an internal temperature of about 55 degrees F. This is a good temperature for medium to long term storage but will not cool to white wine serving temperature. I put my white wines in my refrigerator about an hour before serving to bring it down to serving temperature. Thermoelectric cooling uses much less energy and is quieter than the liquid coolant systems in home refrigerators but have a more limited cooling range. I am still very pleased with my unit as is does a great job of storing my wines and looks great in the house but if you need something to chill into the low 40's then I recommend looking for a unit that uses a liquid refrigerant.

You'll find the mnfc. date on the inside of the unit. The unit will be good for five yrs from that date. My last one lived for almost seven yrs. before needing replacement.

I would say if you don't overheat it...it will last for many years. I love mine.

Mine lasted just over a year before abruptly suddenly losing its zip, even after new batteries put in. Still vibrates, but not fast enough to froth milk.

I've had mine for probably 4-5 years everything has lasted and no, I don't think it heats up too much.
