I originally had one of the 18 bottle units set up. It had double Peltier cooling systems, one top and one bottom, and one of them went out a couple of months after I purchased it. I contacted Haier, and they sent me a completely new unit. All I had to do was send them the nameplate and cut off the end of the electric cord. They're a great company and stand by their products.

Although Vinotemps are the hot ticket today, there was a time five or six years ago when Haiers were very popular for humidor conversions. More people used Haiers than anything else. Then Vinotemps slowly gained in popularity and finally eclipsed the Haiers.

I eventually replaced the Haiers with an Aristocrat, but both are still working today (years later) with wine in them. The unit with the cooler that went south still works fine for red wines at 50% cooling capacity.
