Unlike other units that operate with chill-packs, this patented chiller circulates water and ice for the fastest cooling times on the market, from room temperature to "refrigerator cold" (43 degrees) to ice cold (34 degrees) — all at the touch of a button. Cans chill 90 times faster than in the fridge, 40 times faster than in the freezer; wine bottles cool to a high of 60 degrees in one minute, low of 50 degrees in 3.5 minutes. Fits cans or bottles of juice, beer or soda as well as wine bottles. Safe for carbonated drinks and champagne; "no-spin" setting for delicate wines. Automatic touchpad timer stops chilling at desired temperature; indicator prompts you to add more ice.
