3.0 out of 5 stars Not a 16 wine bottle refrigerator. More like 14.

This does not hold a normal 16 wine bottles. Your wine bottles need to be the very narrow type to fit 16 in the refrigerator. The picture shown stacking 2 rows of wine bottles per compartment can not be done, unless your bottle is the very narrow European type.I did end up putting 16 bottles in, with some added on. I put 4 bottles on the top shelve, made the second shelve bigger and put 8 bottles (4 directly on top of 4, not offset stacking). Finally 4 bottles in the bottom shelve, sideway. The 4 bottles in the bottom shelve is unstable and I put silicone mat to prevent the bottles from rolling. This is not very nice looking and the bottom shelve bottles still might roll out when the door open.This refrigerator can hold 14 bottles safely, but 16 require some engineering.Other than the holding capacity not being correct, the refrigerator is very quiet, and so far it is holding up the temperature nicely.

Size is perfect for the teen room at church. Noise level is low and holds the temperature well. Great purchase and I would by again.

It has a cool blue light inside and seems to work well, however it cycles and periodically makes a weird noise.

Nice mini fridge. Perfect for small office spaces. This is being used in a spa for clients to get water after sessions. It does a great job keeping the water cool and has a lot of space to store.

I originally purchased the Antarctic Star 1.6 cu. ft. cooler to solve a chronic space problem in my main refrigerator, thinking it would strictly be a home for stray sodas and seltzers. However, it has quickly evolved into an essential part of my kitchen workflow. While it excels at keeping drinks at that perfect, crisp temperature, I’ve found it equally valuable as a dedicated station for my food prep.The compact footprint is deceptive; it fits easily into my space without being intrusive, yet the interior layout is surprisingly accommodating. When I’m mid-meal prep, I can slide in containers of chopped ingredients or marinating proteins, keeping them within arm's reach without cluttering my main fridge. The glass door is a subtle but major advantage here, as I can glance over and see exactly what prep work I have left to do without constantly opening the door and losing the cold air.Operationally, the unit is impressively quiet. It maintains a consistent chill that keeps my beverages refreshing and my ingredients fresh, all while humming along silently in the background. The blue LED lighting adds a modern, high-end feel to the room, turning a simple storage solution into a bit of a focal point. Whether you need to reclaim shelf space for a party or just want a more organized way to manage your weekly cooking, this little fridge is a versatile workhorse that punches well above its weight class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine, not great for wine though due to the space

I got this 1.3 CU FT antarctic star beverage cooler to try out as a wine fridge. It is quite a small fridge, as it easily fit on the bottom shelf of a wooden table stand. I will be reviewing this purely from the perspective of a wine fridge, though I won't hold that against it as it only mentions wine in the description and is not specifically designed for it.It came well packaged and undamaged. It was pretty easy to get out of the box and get setup. You have to leave it standing right side up for a couple of hours before plugging it in. There is virtually no assembly required, you will just have to remove a bunch of protective material and tape.Once setup and plugged in you have the option of setting the temperature which is very nice. I set it to 55F which is a good temperature to keep wine. I used a temperature gauge puck and confirmed it did reach the 55F after an hour or so.The fridge itself is very nicely built and what you'd expect from a medium quality piece of equipment. The door action is really smooth. The top rack can be removed to clean if needed. The glass is nice and came very clean. The actual refridgeration is not too noisy. I think this would be a good mini-fridge for a college dorm, cramped apartment, office, basement bar, etc.It could certainly fit a lot of cans, but as for wine the capacity is limited. I think it could hold 7 to 8 bottles at most, depending on size of the bottle and shape (as there are no "racks" for wine specifically, you have to just stick them in there). I fit 4 bottles of red wine, 1 bottle of asti, and 1 bottle of a champagne brut and there was room for maybe 1 or 2 other bottles. The wine itself cooled well.I am going to use this as a separate "ready to drink" wine fridge at my sister's house so I can keep some bottles there, and I am sure it will do the job nicely.

Bought this for my son-in-law for Xmas. He works from home on the second floor. He loves having his soda handy.
