I hope I don’t come to regret this, but I could not resist the deal currently with Vinotemp and COSTCO NEXT.
Vinotemp Butler Series EL-300TS
This is Costco’s Next program so you have to click through and buy it from VinoTemp directly.
It just has to last two years to more than pay for itself and bought with CC that adds a 3rd year to the warranty.

Hi Guys,
I was going to post this a few days ago but felt I should give Vinotemp a few extra days to rectify this horrible situation.
I own 2 Vinotemp coolers which I bought from Costco 3 1/2 years ago.
The winemate cooling system of the large unit (500EC) has been running nonstop since I got back from a business trip 2 weeks ago.
I called Vinotemp and they referred me to a local appliance repair shop.
A local technician came by my house last Saturday, pulled the unit off the cabinet, opene…
Lots of discussion of this vendor and product on WB worth revisiting
So far so good.
It’s full of wine I’m not planning to
Touch until at least 2027 so I am not opening it up regularly
The biggest potential drawback is they don’t offer white glove delivery. So you get it to your doorstep and you have to manage the rest of the way.

Great to hear, thanks. Ended-up ordering one. I’ll only have one step to wrestle it down.

I just finished reading that thread.
Likely I skipped it when researching because of the age. I don’t think I would have purchased. It was a great price but this has to be one the most anti consumer companies out there.
I am surprised Costco maintains a relationship with them.

I don’t think leopards change their spots.
I also think there is a difference between buying from Costco Next versus Costco.com . For the most part, I won’t touch the former, as I think one loses important membership protections.
