Vinotemp... read the whole thread

Lexxxus · 01-30-2009, 10:52 PM

How was I supposed to know this identical unit was not a "genuine" VT? No mention was ever made of "grey market" VT's in any of my research. After first accusing me of buying an "illegal counterfeit" the woman at VT then relented and told me the unit was probably purchased from the same factory and someone placed an Vinotemp emblem on it. While the photo is not good the emblem is a "raised" or "domed" acrylic piece that looks very authentic. I'm guessing this unit came off the very same assembly line right down to the emblem.

Anyhow, they got my $12US for 2 simple screws so I guess I'm a bona fide VT customer now!

I've beat this dead horse long enough and you've heard the last of it from me.

COunterfiet Cohibas (THE INFAMOUS COHIBO!!!), counterfeit Montes and now counterfeit Vinos!?! What is this world coming to???

I can say that is a knock off. The Vino doors are more squared off, not rounded. They are also a shiny aluminum, not brushed and the handle is very different.

Unless it is I that have the fake Vino...I have to go question my source. HE said he got it from a friend that has an uncle that works at Vino...

I'm not trying to make light of your situation. It sucks dealing with poor customer service. Hope you get it resolved even if Home Depot is the solution.
