Avanti Service Center and applicable dealers are non existent, no one including the manufaturer or retailer will support this product, a bad choice.

RE: AVANTI COOLER ACTUALLY FREEZES YOUR WINE AND AVANTI COULD CARE LESS
I have had this unit for almost 8 months now and this morning I discovered about 12 bottles had blown their corks. My beloved CA Pinot collection is toast!
The “Set Temp” LED read 58 degrees F. Right next to it sits the “Internal Temp” LED, which read 32 degrees!!!
I took pics of this, and of the blown corks, the frost covered wine collection of 90 bottles or so. But Avanti didn’t care. I spoke to a superior manager, but she didn’t care and said I saved money on the purchase. Avanti could care less about your wine collection. Do not buy their products if you care about your wine. Simple as that.

I’ve had this wine frig for about 18 months now and without problems. As mentioned in other reviews, the spacing between shelves can be an issue but the way around that is to just remove a shelf (or two or three) and stack rows of bottles on each other. The shelves are easily removed (and reinserted if necessary). I have not had to readjust temperature settings at all – it’s maintained an even 55 degrees since my first setting. I can say I recall any chemical odors as was mentioned in other reviews. All in all I’ve been pleased so far – no issues.

Product looks good and at this point is holding temperature well. The shelves work best for standard size bottles and will only hold a single row of longer bottles. Allow plenty of time for coordinating with the shipping company (over 2 weeks and many phone calls).

I purchased one of these… seemed like just the right thing. It arrived non-functional, and it was a problem to get service. Once it was running, it had the problems others have stated in terms of actual storage and shelf design and temp control. But then in less than two years it failed. It stopped cooling. The compressor still works, but it has a leak somewhere and can’t cool. Avanti will only replace the compressor, but that is useless, so the unit is useless. They don’t stand behind their products, so if you purchase this you are taking a serious risk with your money. I would not buy another!
