Hisense HRBC140 140 Can Beverage Centre

This unit is freezing up terribly. A few days after purchase, I received an orange exclamation point "alert" icon. Called support, and they told me to restart the fridge. Did that, and the issue went away then came back after a couple of days. Ever since then it has started accumulating frost in the back. Now, it's gotten terrible. I've had to remove all my beverages and let it thaw and will reconnect it once all the ice has thawed. The fan itself has even accumulated ice and made a grinding noise while spinning because the ice made it uneven. I feel like I wasted $500 on this unit which is only a couple of months old and is defective. I'll be calling support again to see how they plan to handle this.

If they handle it well and the issue is resolved permanently, I would be 5 stars pleased with this fridge. So far, this has been a terrible hassle.

The wine cooler is decently sized and well-priced, which is what I was looking for. Sadly, the screw holes for the handle attachment were on the wrong side of the door! Now I’m unable to attach the handle to the wine door at all.This is a nightmare and seems to be a recurring issue with many of the posted reviews. I’ve tried emailing and contacting Hisense’s customer service, but have not received a response.The thought of having to lug a 120lb wine cooler by myself back to Lowes because of this factory defect is so frustrating—because I literally can’t without breaking my back. Hisense really needs better quality control of its products. The customer experience is horrible.

So far so good on this unit. It seems like a very good value. It looks nice and the price is very attractive. I bought it to replace a $2500 Marvel fridge and this seems a way better value. The Marvel is sturdier does seem to be a nicer/better built unit, but since I'm putting it under a bar, tucked in a corner, where no one sees it, I don't really need those aspect. Plus, I kind of like the fact that this one is lighter. It also has excellent internal lighting, where I can see everything inside the fridge which is tucked in a dark corner. I also like the shelving layout--I set it up for 2 narrow drawers of wine, 1 tall space for beer bottles and one midsize space for cans. The Marvel was 15 years old, so I can't complain about its quality/total cost of ownership, ... MoreSo far so good on this unit. It seems like a very good value.
