This AVI 300mm wine cooler was installed by our kitchen supplier. The fan packed in within 3 months and was repaired (no thanks to AVI wanted us to re-package the item to be sent away for repair). After another few months the fan got noisy and eventually the unit gave up cooling altogether. The compressor and the coolant system were defunct. The LED failed after a couple of months, with only half of the number lighting up.
When we contacted AVI about getting parts etc they said we might as well buy a new unit (this one was less than 2 years old!) - and offered us a 'deal' on a slightly bashed new unit or a full-priced new one. We said 'no thanks'!
Its a nice enough looking unit - clean lines for a contemproary style kitchen. But really a pile of rubbish - don't buy!
