I called customer service about an issue I was having with my wine unit and I spoke to maria, she went above and beyond to help me find what i needed to fix my problem and got it ordered and sent out lightning quick...she was a pleasure to deal with...
In a world where customer service has all but disappeared, I had read Wine Guardian still has outstanding customer service. It is absolutely true. One of their engineers, Brennan, was amazingly helpful in patiently answering all my cooling system questions regarding everything from heat load calc to running duct work. Plus he provided many useful installation tips. Also, they shipped the product right on schedule. Could not be more impressed with Brennan and Wine Guardian. First rate company, products and staff.

As anyone who collects wine knows, it is important to keep those pricey bottles in an environment that provides consistent temperature and humidity. That was our reason for installing a Wine Guardian split system more than five years ago.
Nearly from the very start, we had nothing but trouble with this machinery. After all the headaches, we finally had no choice but to disconnect it and move our approximately 2,200 bottle collection to another location.
Over the years, we have easily spent more money to fix the problems with this system than we did to buy it – which is to say many thousands of dollars. At first, the problems were under warranty, but once that had run its course the bills were ours. The last one bill, which involved replacing the fan system, was nearly $2,000. And so when the system started leaking, again causing damage to our finished basement, we really had enough.
With the Wine Guardian, we had no peace of mind. When we travelled, we had zero confidence that we would return home to a problem. Numerous times, we found temperatures upon our return in the high seventies – nowhere near the 58 degrees we had left it set at. We’ve replaced flooring, lower parts of walls. And had to toss out personal items damaged by the huge flooding this thing produced.
We have now invested in a series of wine refrigerators to hold everything, based on the exactly zero incidence of problems with the wine refrigerators we’ve had upstairs, some of which are now approaching 20 years old.
If you care about keeping your wine collection safe, if you care about protecting your home from flooding, take my advice and avoid the Wine Guardian. Because, quite simply, its name is a lie.
NB: I contacted Wine Guardian to inform them of this forthcoming review. The response? “Thank you.” No concern, no interest in speaking with me. This shows me nothing here comes as a surprise to them. That should tell you quite a lot.
