Best Bar & Wine Fridges / Refrigerators

Freezer freezes over have to turn off and defrost every fortnight. It doesn’t keep drinks cold. The semi defrost is a waste of time, it still freezes over. This one was a replacement as the black one the freezer door broke off and it didn’t get cold. Show details

Faulty fridge shelves had to chuck the fridge away – Purchased from good guys Bundaberg, Beware only 12 months warranty on the parts to the fridge not 3 years manufacturer warranty like they say.… Read more

Disgusting the fridge was purchased in 2021. Just like others have stated. Only this year the fridge shelves have started to completely crack and become broken. Making 2 shelves not useable at all. I’ve just had to buy this fridge again with glass shelves because this particular model has been discontinued due to the shelving issue now the new fridge has glass shelves. hopefully we will have better luck. 3 years warranty only covers the fridge motor and Compressor. Our old fridge lasted 20 years and it was plastic shelves also the white metal shelves we have had known people to have these and lasted. By the time we had added up how much the cost to replace fridge shelves it wasn’t worth the worry. It was going to cost more than what the fridge is worth. $60 per shelf. Spoke to customer service who got very aggressive and rude when I told them I will report the company to fair trading decided to hang up twice. Waited 20 minutes to talk to someone each time when I questioned them about the fridge and told them it’s against consumer law rights to be selling such poor quality products got hung up on and told we will not be replacing them. Without payment. The good guys in the end become quite rude when I requested a new fridge to rectify and under goodwill. Got very rude as well.

Excellent Mini Fridge in Bedroom – I had mine second hand from a closing down clinic. For a very cheap price of $50. Its kinnda brand new when i got it because they dont use it much,… Read more

Stopped working at 14 mths old – My husky 110 retro fridge turned into a freezer less than 14 mths after buying it at Harvey Norman at Cleveland. When I called Avisit the company… Read more

that makes them they said it’s a cheap item and would not cover repairs. The fridge should last more than 14 mths . Very disappointing and should last more than 14 mths I should of have paid $250 for a hisence. I expected better quality

Great wine cellar fridge – I needed a dedicated wine fridge cellar to cater for my Champagne collection. Because the bottles are wide there aren't many fridges that can cater… Read more

for this type without stacking bottles very high. I found this fridge to be great as I only need to stack the bottles 2 high which makes for ease of access. I can also buy additional shelves and adjust shelf height. The fridge is very stylish in the room and super quiet. I like the amount of light generated from the side strip. I placed a thermometer inside the fridge to test the consistency and accuracy of temperature and it is performing well.

Fantastic fridge – I’ve had my Rhino bar Fridge since 2013 and it’s fantastic but the left door no longer closers by itself if open past 90 degree it’s ok but before 90 degree it doesn't self close it’s all level How can I fix this please ? Show details

Good little fridge! – I needed a small extra fridge for xmas guests just so I could have a few extra xmas food and drinks available so bought this on sale and its very… Read more

good, cools drinks etc very quickly and have had no problems with it. stock My only irk with it is when I have it turned down low on cool it does tend to get a quick ice build up in the freezer area but it only took a few hours for a full defrost and a quick clean and everything went back into it and have had no problems since. Good size little fridge very handy for the extras.

Excellent bar fridge, fits under standard bench tops – We own two of these bar fridges, great value. Large full size freezers, good shelf height, deep shelves and fits beautifully under a standard bar /… Read more

kitchen bench. Door fits a 3ltr milk. Ours are super cold, and will freeze items at the back if you're not careful. Only drama we've had is that they are not frost free and require defrosting every few months or so, the drain hole in the fridge can ice up if blocked by a rogue sauce bottle. But worth it for the full size practicality. Would buy again.

Mixed Review with a Great Ending – Ordered this on Black Friday, I would give a 5 star rating as Cherish (customer service) deserves it, but what we went through to get to Cherish… Read more

wasn’t a good experience. But we got there in the end and we are now very happy. When the delivery was finally sorted everything went extremely well.

is miles too small for a milk bottle or wine bottle . Very disapointed. it has plastic tray with no indication of what it is for?? just sits on a shelf??

Disappointed – The door doesn't close properly, ice's up, leaks condensate on floods Show details

Noisiest fridges ever built – So noisy it’s crazy this product is still being sold. We renovated an alfresco area and purchased 2 x Husky’s recommended by Harvey Norman. They are… Read more

both so noisy we had to turn them off to sleep!! Thankfully HN has taken them back and replaced them with Vintecs.

Do not buy from Husky. I bought this wine fridge and the compressor broke 2 months after the warranty expired. They were less than helpful and… Read more

initially ignored me completely when asking for assistance. Buy from a more reputable company unless you want a disposable fridge.

Not possible to get close to advertised storage capacity – I bought this because I was not particular happy with the tight shelving on my Vintec V110SGES3 - 121 bottle fridge, where the shelves are fixed… Read more

distances from each other, and which means a lot of label scraping when trying to get shelves out. This is a particular problem for many of the larger bottle shapes we get in Australia.

I had this delivered this week. On attempting to stack it today, I realised the internal dimensions mean that there is no way that you can get close to the 195 bottle capacity advertised.

Wine fridges usually advertise their capacity based on Bordeaux bottle sizes, which is fine, however, there is a significant difference between the shelve depth of my Vintec and the Liebherr.

The Vintec shelve depth, between front and back lip, is 51.5cm, whereas the Liebherr is 43.3. As such the shoulders clash far more significantly in the Liebherr. If I try to stack the bottles in the 5/4 matrix (5 forward/4 back) the front 4 have to lift up to sit on the shoulders of the back 5. This is not the same for the Vintec, where the extra 8cm makes enough difference for the stacking to work for many Australian bottle shapes.

I can get about 90 bottles in the 121 bottle Vintec and that includes a 6 bottle wooden case. I don't expect I would get much over half in the Liebherr.

Looking at the advertised dimensions of the Liebherr it states 670mm depth, however, it is 645, or if you include the handle, about 685. From the back of the fridge to the front, excluding door is 590, whereas the Vintec has equivalent dimensions of 680/630.

Although it does seem good value initially, I have decided to return it, as for a 100 bottle fridge, it's not good value!

I can't comment on its performance as I've not turned it on.

Does not self defrost and no good for humid environments. Recently condensation collects in bottom of fridge then leaks onto floor. Would not recommend this fridge at all. Show details

Good purchase – This fridge is easy to clean and maintains a good temperature. Since I don't have as much storage as I would love for a freezer, I love that at its… Read more

coldest, this fridge freezes my items when I leave it undisturbed. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love it for this.

Died after being moved – Looks good, but was noisy. Moved house and the compressor stopped working. Was told by Miele repair agent it would be too costly to repair.

Poor quality – Purchased this 4 years ago and surprise has stopped working, looks nice but obviously has a very poor compressor that’s not lasted as long as it should, DO NOT BUY Hisense Show details

More like a heater than a fridge – Started off well, it cooled 6 pack adequately. After two days I filled the fridge and turned the thermostat down. Came back after a couple of hours… Read more

and the inside temp of fridge was 25 degree's and the outside cover was alarmingly hot. I lost all confidence in the fridge and returned it to HN (to their credit they issued a refund). On another note, the thermostat switch is Very loud then it clicks on and off. It can be heard all through the house so light sleepers looking for a 'heater' should think again.

Not a good fridge 2 service under 2yrs – Luckily we still have a warranty with CKS Melbourne where we purchased the fridge 2 services already under 2yrs. The fridge was not Colling and temp… Read more

was at a constant 16 degrees. Now, needs a new part. Was tol part alone is $500 plus labour so if it wasn't under warranty it will be around $1k to fix. We got the fridge on sale for $600. Would not recommend this just for that reason. Update, CKS gave us a new fridge as they said it didn't make sense the repair cost more than the fridge. Then said 'as we've given you a fridge as replacement, it is not a new fridge that comes with a new 2 yrs warranty, it's a replacement fridge' surely this is against ACCC warranty and customer guarantee. So based on this, definitely would not recommend the brand, fridge and to buy from CKS Melbourne.

154L wine fridge lost refrigerant within 2 years – Giving a 3 star for now as they did replace the wine fridge at the start of 24. I queried the beer fridge we have as well possibly having the same… Read more

issue. They advised different manufacturer so shouldn’t be a problem, sure enough. 3 months pass and now the same issue. I was able to identify that the copper pipe leading out of the compressor has pitted and refrigeration is slowly bleeding through the pipe walls. The husky warranty agent advised it was no longer under warranty, I informed her of the replacement unit already supplied and my request to have the other appliance replaced as a preventative measure. It has been escalated, so we will see what they think. This is a fault with the supplier of the compressor and copper pipe. But it is still a Husky issue to resolve.

OK budget bar fridge/ freezer but with a few short comings – OK bar fridge at good price but with some short comings. The fridge is compact and lightweight for portable use and comes with a freezer compartment.… Read more

Adjustable shelving allows multiple storage options and the inclusion of a light is an added feature for a budget product. The freezer component while not big will quickly chill up a couple of drinks and will keep ice frozen but not food storage for any length of time. The major shortcoming is the freezer/chiller flap, it is a flimsy plastic hinged cover which is subject to breakage when the compartment requires defrosting ( which is often). The manufacturer actually give themselves up on this by stating a disclaimer in the warranty by stating “it is not covered under warranty as susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up.” Good luck with that exclusion under Australian consumer law.!!! Anyway for a few dollars more a aluminium flap may overcome this problem and then you would have a pretty good value package.
