Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Waring Pro RPC175 Professional Wine Chiller/Warmer
Customer Review: Great little machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I own and like this product, I thought I would add my opinion to the mix. Yes, it is not the quietest appliance ever created. That's because it's not using a compressor like a fridge. The trade-off is that it's extremely energy efficient. Besides, this is a corded appliance so it's not meant to sit on your dining room table; it sits in the kitchen with your other semi-noisy food appliances.
People also complain that it's not quick to chill your wine. Well, they clearly have never owned a thermoelectric product. It's well-known that you are not supposed to put a bottle of wine kept at 70-80 Fahrenheit (in your kitchen) into a wine chiller and expect instant results. The efficiency of a thermoelectric product is based upon many factors: ambient room temperature and starting wine temperature, primarily.
First of all, wine should be kept at 45-55 Fahrenheit. That is the proper storage temperature; period. If you are not doing that already, why you would need this device is beyond me. Who cares if your wine is served at the proper temperature if you ruined it by storing it improperly? So let's say you aren't made of money, and you can only afford a 6-30 bottle wine storage fridge. You are forced to keep a case of your favorite ready-to-drink wine in the coolest part of your basement (60-65 Fahrenheit or so). 25 minutes before you need it, throw the bottle in the fridge for 10 minutes and then stick it in this puppy for the remainder. You will have your wine at the proper serving temperature in no time.
A little bit of RTFM and common sense go a long way. Don't expect miracles from a consumer level product, and you'll quickly see how to make the best use out of them. Do you really think that your favorite high-end restaurant with the visually appealing wine display has 20 of these in a back room somewhere? Of course not. They spend a pretty penny to store and serve wine at the proper temperature. Any sommelier that would allow anything else needs to be fired on the spot.
I would have maybe given this 4 stars, but clearly someone needs to give it 5 to offset reviewers with unrealistic expectations.
