 "Cuisinart CWC-900 Re-Engineered" 2009-07-31
By J. T. Hinshaw (California USA)
I received this Cuisinart 11 bottle cooler from a friend who said, "the thermostat does not work right." He knew I could probably fix it.

When I turned it on, the cooler ran all the time, the "cellar" did not cool off, but the outside heat exchanger was very hot.

The problem appeared to be that the original fan had collected dust on its blades, and the internal thermoelectric cooler's finnned heat sink was likewise full of dust. If cooling air can't flow over the heat sink, the thermoelectric Peltier-effect cooler can't work properly. I figured if I cleaned out the dust all would be well. It wasn't. The fan still hummed away full-time, and the hot side of the thermoelectric pile was above 200 degrees F. Yes, it would boil water. Since I couldn't fix it I redesigned it.

I took out the original fan, a small and inadequate air mover. I bought two decent industrial 4" square 12VDC 0.17A brushless DC fans and installed them on the outside of the cabinet. The lower fan pulls air in, the upper fan exhausts. This took some ducting work, drilling and cutting of the plastic outer cover, by the way. The two fans are powered by the same switched controller that ran the original internal fan. Cut off the wires to the old fan, solder the two new fans' power leads on and Bob's your uncle.

After these modifications, the air flow across the thermoelectric heat sink is now adequate. The two new fans are about as noisy as the original -- BUT they run only about 30% of the time when holding 59F interior in an 80F room. The heatsink temperature is now about 120F.

My total cost was $18 for the two fans and two fan fingerguards, and nothing for the Cuisinart.

So, I give this product a 3-star rating as "upgrade-ready do-it-yourself" raw material. As a consumer ready product it is a failure. Cuisinart should be ashamed to have their badge on the front.

 "This unit cooked my wine" 2009-06-26
By C. Tharpe


Do not be deceived by the Cuisnart brand name. This unit is unreliable and should not be used to store any bottles of wine that you value.



While the fan continued to run as normal, this unit not only quit cooling but also started to HEAT the nine bottles of wine I was aging. Instead of the 68 degrees that the theromostat displayed, the wine was 95!!. My home thormostat is set at 78 so I would have been much better off just putting my wine in a closet.

 "Be warned" 2009-05-04
By Steve (Los Angeles, CA)
Be warned; this thing will absolutely ruin your wine. Stupid $200 unit cost me at least 6x that in terms of wines that are now going to waste. I'm very very upset and wonder what I can do here.

 "I've had two quit working in less than 2 years" 2009-04-29
By JP (Houston, TX)
This unit is junk. Do not buy. I've had two of them quit working in under two years. One was replaced under warranty and the other is beyond the warranty period. I will not replace it.

 "cooked!" 2009-03-02
By Rebecca M. Haskins (atlanta, ga)
We were given this cooler as a gift and while it was nice to have a small cooler to keep some of our better wines, it turned itself into an oven and instead of chilling our wine it heated it! When I called cuisinart they said it was under warranty and they would send us a new one if we paid the $10 shipping cost but that we had to send the broken one back to them at our expense and by the way it weighs 30 lbs. We chose to put it out with the trash. I can not recommend this product nor will i buy any other cuisinart items.
