Arrived in 2 days.


Bad Points

Sounds like a helicopter, poor build quality and would not cool below 11c. Then stopped working.


General Comments

I bought this Dihl wine cooler from www.toyourhome.co.uk. I would avoid this poor quality unit and especially now www.toyourhome.co.uk want to charge me to pick up the faulty goods!

    We had this problem, but it ended up being that there was muck caught in the fan. All we did was clean out the fan and it works beautifully now.

    Can you really blame them for charging for the return?

    I agree with petertc on this one. It seems to me that when you buy a product of a company they should take care of it afterwards. If it breaks and is within warranty then 'yes, it should be picked up by the company and be paid for by them too'. A product being faulty can happen all the time, at the end of the day it is the customer service you receive in response that counts!

    Thanks black ghost, I do feel that they should pay to pick up. To answer the other feedback it does not have anything in the fan as this happened the first day of use and I think that as it has never worked from day 1 that they should replace or refund i have emailed toyourhome but no reply. Still maybe I can find a use for it?

    All the symptoms seem to be the same as the one I've just bought (WF-14 model). As for customer service, I've emailed sales and technical support at Toyourhome and even filled in the on-line sheet at Dihl and had no replies. Took receipt of the thing Tuesday (3/06/08) and I can't even work out how to contact them to get them to take it back!

    I'm in exactly the same situation. I can hear it through the whole house and it doesn't cool lower than 12 degrees. No response so far from seller (toyourhomes ltd). Initially there was quick communication when they wanted payment, but then nothing. It's the cheapest build quality I have ever seen. I'm in the industry and have seen some poor stuff from China, but this is poor.

    It's a fricking peltier cooler, what did you expect, of course it won't cool below 11*C. It's like buying a tractor with a goal of starting it in a cross road race. Silly.
