“AVI 300mm wine cooler, manufactured in china. Looks...”

written by on 27/08/2010

AVI 300mm wine cooler, manufactured in china. Looks good but don't be fooled. After only a couple of months use, the fan became so noisy that we turned the cooler off for most of the time. Last month when we switched it back on as we were entertaining the next day, all seemed well. Then after a couple of hours the door burst open expelling enough smoke from the cooler to activate the smoke alarms. Immediately cut power to the unit which extinguised any flame within the electrical components of the cooler. Contacted AVI who were very keen to replace our unit for a new one but refused to refund us. We are not prepared to take the risk of running it within our home. AVI told us they had the same fault with this model previously and have assured us that it would not have caught fire...So ask yourself 'Where did all the smoke come from???'. We have exchanged the unit but will be installing it in the garden so if it catches fire it will not burn the house down..DON'T TAKE THE RISK!!!!
