Russell Hobbs RH34WC1 Freestanding Wine Cooler, 93 liters, Stainless Steel, Noise level: decibels 39 [Energy Class G]

Although it looks good and works well, I have had to turn it off as it’s too noisy.

This wine cooler is the first one we have bought. It seems very simple to use, looks smart and has plenty of space for the number of bottles/cans we want to store. The only issue is the technical spec says the door is reversible – it is not. The technical information is incorrect. We therefore had to rearrange the area which we had allocated to position it. Quite annoying.

We’ve had this drinks fridge for two months now and can say it is worth ever star of 5 stars!! It holds a massive number of bottles of wine, beer, soft drinks, cartons, cans, champagne. You can have the light turned on permanently or turn it off if you prefer (it is a blue led light but you could change the bulb to a white one if desired). It is super quiet when it’s running and keeps drinks beautifully cold. The added bonus is it looks really classy in our kitchen. We received an email and were invited to choose a time slot, the delivery was quick an efficient even during the 2nd lockdown. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fridge!!

Just the job for us. Plenty of good storage keeping our whites at a cool drinkable temp. The only slight grumble would be the bottom rack design. A little adjustment would allow champagne and fatter presecco bottles to fit. All in all very happy with this product.

Good Value for money wine fridge. Great delivery service. Nice quiet good looking fridge.

Have had 3 wine fridges in 6 years. Bosch was the last one-worked for 3 years repaired 4 times in that period.Saw this product.Great value looks really cool (doh its a fridge) and chills the wine to perfect 5 degreees.No noise slimmer than last wine fridge and the racks made in metal means it is not wasting any undue space
Wish i hadnt bothered with the previous Samsungs/Bosch
Thanks also to the people who sold it as delivery was perfect, polite and seamless

Early days but enjoying this drinks fridge. Has plenty of holders, which frees up room in the now ‘food fridge’. The stainless steel borders do mark quite easily but can be sorted with a wipe. If we had had the extra cash we probably would go integrated, for the seamless finish, but this is smart enough not to jar with the rest of the kitchen. Otherwise it keeps the wine et all at the desired temperature, which was the main reason for buying.

It’s a bit tight for some bottle shapes. But if you can get them in it’s very efficient at cooling

This is my third wine cooler and by far the best. Beautifully chilled wine and the lighting in the unit looks great at night. Highly recommended.

A lovely little fridge, it holds what it says it will and looks great with the smart blue light. The temperature seems to remain constant and is certainly cool enough for a good chilled drink. The quietness is amazing, overall a great product that not only looks good but works well too.

keeps the wine chilled. a bit of water found at the bottom of cooler but I think this is from the beer cans kept in it.

Have waited a year to publish this review. The wine cooler has performed flawlessly throughout.

Having read and re-read other reviews, I was anxious 1) that the cooler maintained a low operating temperature to keep Sauvignon Blanc chilled and 2) had flexible storage space to cope with both Christmas champers and non-alcohol drink bottles.

For the temperature, my cynicism led to the purchase of a fridge thermometer. It has demonstrated that the Russell Hobbs Wine Cooler has stayed right on the 7c target. Interestingly, it also serves as a warning as to how rapidly the temperature increases every time the door opens.

For standard wine bottles, there is a core storage space of 6 racks x 5 slots = 30 bottles. There is also a flexible space at the bottom which can accommodate four more bottles or “odds and sods”. If you store champagne it takes up more space, say three per rack and the gaps in between can be filled by something like beer cans, mixer bottles or reversed wine bottles. The latter isn’t aesthetically pleasing but since the cooler is stored behind doors, who cares?

It is smart enough to feature in your kitchen but for us the advantage of having it “out of the way” is that we have got creative in jamming it full of everything from gin to lager, eiswein to Maltesers.

The operation is simplicity itself. Up/down/set temperature and on/off light. As for noise, I hear it a handful of times a year. These occur when a a 24 bottle re-stock takes place whilst the central heating is going full blast in mid-winter. I can live with that.

Why wait a year to review? On delivery it was not as solid, heavy, robust-looking as its predecessor. I had my doubts. They have been banished.

Perfect Winecooler great value for money & perfect size. I wanted an A energy model that was quiet & efficient. I am delighted with this purchase. Was delivered within two days and the service was excellent.

I like the styling & classy look of it. It holds the larger wine bottles. The blue light is a nice touch- this can be switched off if you wish. You can also lock it, maybe if you have kids it would be useful. It arrived well packaged. It would have been nicer if you could take the temperature down more, lowest is 5. I like my wine slightly colder, nothing 10 mins in the freezer doesnt sort.

Product as described the only minor niggle I would report is that the temperature light does not stay on so you can’t see if the unit is working unless you listen or switch on the internal light. Otherwise product as described and sales process went smoothly.

Delivered as agreed. Works as it says on the tin.

Bought as a present for my wife. It looks great, is fairly quiet running and seems quite efficient if you avoid running it the minimum temperature. Set ours to 8 degrees and this is plenty cool enough for the white wine but allows the thermostat to switch off regularly.
Best to avoid putting larger (fat) bottles (Prosecco etc.) on the main shelves but there is space for these at the bottom.
My only complaint is that, having bought this as a birthday present, I then had to spend nearly as much again to fill it up 🙂

Exactly what we wanted – looks very attractive and is easy to work. Holds both straight and curved sided bottles too which having read other reviews we did not expect.

After a few reviews on here, some good, some not so good I decided to give this cooler a go.
Delivery was excellent arriving promptly and undamaged.
The biggest issues I had read apparently being that the cooler could be noisy and did not always reach the temperature indicated, or that the temperature could fluctuate. Based on this I was pleased when I started the cooler to find it seems to be almost silent, so much so that at first I actually wondered if it was working. It was!!
Secondly before even putting in any wine I decided to check the temperature control in case the reported issues materialized and I would then return the product. I used 2 separate fridge thermometers to monitor the temperature, which I adjusted up and down over several days. Performance was excellent with all three devices, the cooler and the thermometers agreeing the same temperature from the lowest setting of 5, through to warmer settings.
I would recommend this cooler as an excellent product for the price, so much so that I am purchasing a 2nd one to keep my red wine. Why this rather than one of the bigger dual zone coolers? Well quite simply the dimensions. This cooler is less deep than most and therefore fits my space requirements and I believe with a little inventive adjusting of the feet I can stack them.

My partner and I have just moved house and I wanted to get a proper wine fridge for the move. After scanning for weeks, I decided to go for this bad boy. It came within a day due to prime and unfortunately I could not open it straight away due to the move.

Upon taking it out and setting it up, we have never looked back. Set it to 5 and have filled with wine and beer. It saves us so much room in our normal fridge and looks good in the spot where a dryer should go.

Best purchase I have made and have not looked back. When it’s dark and the blue light is on…love it!!!

Does the job well. Easy to set up and use.

First one arrived damaged but it’s really easy to speak to someone at Amazon to arrange a replacement. I really like this, adjustable temperature depending on how cold you like your wine. Only comment is the shelves are very close together so champagne bottles don’t really fit neatly or wine bottles that are not a very standard shape need to be squeezed in top to tail.
Not really sure how irritated I can be about such a first world problem so I just remove one shelf to make space when needed for fizz.

After buying a wine cooler before we were worried that it would be noisy but this one is incredibly quiet. Plenty of space and looks good out in the open too, especially at night when the sexy blue lights are emphasised! 🙂
Would definitely recommend to any ‘average’ wine lover.

This is my first wine cooler and it looks fabulous in the kitchen.
It’s very quiet and I like the blue lighting/glow. It does collect finger marks, however these are fairly easy to remove.
I did read up on quite a few wine coolers before making my choice and this one stood out based on size, number of bottles and of course price. It’s been running now for only 2 weeks, but there have been no issues at all to date.

Great little fridge that looks trendy in our new dining room. The motor isn’t noisy, but you can hear it gurgling a little, but it’s not a problem. I took out one of the bottom shelves so that I could store some bottle beers in the bottom, along with some mixers. Really pleased with it.
