OzBargain's favourite reasonably-priced non-Aldi wine chiller is back on sale at JB days after the last sale expired. It's been down to around $549 before but anywhere around this range seems decent.

How does this compare to the Aldi one?
Didn’t have a good experience with Hisense wine fridge: it stoped cooling after a year and a half. Also, I find it’s easier to claim Aldi warranty than JBHF.
From the various reviews I've read, they all seem a bit hit and miss. You could spend $2k+ on a Vintec and have it die just as easily as a Hisense or Sterling (Aldi brand).
This particular model is, in theory, a step up from the regular Aldi equivalent but it also depends how many bottles you want to store in a chiller.
Myself and 2 other friends all got Vintec around the same time and all died after about 18 months.
Leibherr is apparently a way more reliable brand
I had it for 4 month with no issues

How many OzBargainers are hoarding a room full of fridges
My ALDI wine cooler works great for nearly a year! No problem so far!
What's the temperature range on these? Are the shelves removable?
