Just pour ice and water into the Cooper Cooler, select the container setting, and the cooler does the rest. A patented process chills by rotating beverages while simultaneously spraying them with ice water. The appliance will cool a 12 ounce beverage can from 77 degrees to 43 degrees in about 1 minute. An "extra" chill setting chills beverages to 34 degrees. The cooling process will not effect a drink's taste, composition, or cause carbonated beverages to fizz and explode upon opening. The Cooper Cooker is great for parties, road trips, dorm rooms, and office break rooms. | | | Features: | |

Works as well as they claim, but have plenty of ice!Aug 26, 2005
By J. Robelen
"owner of a few dvds"
Designed by Cooper Union engineering students who proved it was the most efficient way to chill beverages, the Cooper Cooler never fails to fascinate those guests who turn up at your barbecue with warm beer, wine, or soda. Happily, it also never fails to chill your potables to the core. Be warned, however, that you will consume a lot of ice in the process. (Since this device does not actually perform any refrigeration, you provide a mixture of water and ice which it cascades over the spinning container. The ice melts completely after only a few chilled cans, or one bottle of wine.)
Another caveat, which may not have mattered to those in the engineering lab, is that this thing is hell on paper labels, what with the constant water, and the traction from the rubber wheels. You may then choose not to spin the bottle, but it will take approximately twice as long to chill your beverage.
Such is life.

 It worked, but apparently not all wine bottles fit.Jul 22, 2006
By Joe Schmoe reviewer
Good news: It worked as advertised. OK, maybe we left a can of soda in there a bit longer than instructed to get it really, really cold.
Bad news: When I went to demonstrate this gift to my mother -- the birthday gift recipient -- I brought with me a bottle of the white wine we were going to serve at my upcoming wedding. When I put the bottle in, it would not rotate because it sort of wedged into the device. I.e. the Cooper Cooler will not accomodate all wine bottles.
I am no wine drinker, but, as far as I know, there was nothing unusual about that bottle of white. It, like many other wine bottles I see on the shelves, was of the slightly more "stout" design. Is there a standard wine bottle size diameter-wise?
So here's the rub. If you know which bottles are the "standard" ones and those are the ones you want to chill, this will work. If you want to chill wines that come in bottles (only slightly) wider than that standard, they will probably not fit.
And forget chilling Champagne. They make no claim that you can chill Champagne and rightly so.
Other observations: This does use up ice. If you're chilling a bottle or two for dinner guests, don't worry about it. It's not overwhelming.
But if you think you're going to chill a case of beer during poker night, get a bag or two of ice cubes. Of course, if you're going to the liquor store for ice, why not just buy a cold case of beer while you're there instead?!
It takes up a bit of space on the counter, so you will have to store it somewhere when it's not in use.
It's not seriously noisy, but it is pumping water and spraying that water on a bottle that it is spinning. It is not a silent process.
You'll probably get some water on the counter, but not because it leaks. It's just that you're handling ice, water and a wet bottle. It's actually pretty splash-proof if you do it correctly.
I returned it, but not because it didn't work. We just found that it was kind of useless if my mother had to pick her wine based on the bottle size or otherwise own a chiller that MAY accommodate the evening's white wine choice.

 One of the best inventionsNov 17, 2005
By Jerad A. Kaliher
I live in a college house with three other people and friends coming in and out. Our refrigerator is a sort of no-mans-land. Anytime you put any sort of beverage, Coke, Water, and especially Beer in it, you expect it to be drunk before you get back to it.
I was skeptical of this device. But low and behold, it works EXACTLY as advertised. We have an icemaker in the freezer so the concerns for ice are not a problem at all. It literally makes a warm beer cold in 1 minute and will get it frosty in 1 1/2 minutes.
Finally - a 'cold microwave.' I highly recommend this bad boy.

Great, with only one small problemFeb 08, 2007
By Chris Teitel
"WWII Treadhead"
After a year of using this wine chiller, it still amazes me how wonderful it is. It's a must have for anybody who has wine drinking friends that just drop by. The motionless option is great for drinkers of fine unfiltered beers, who don't want to stir up the sediment.
The only downside to this machine is when in operation, it has a tendancy to splash water out of the front. This isn't anythig that a dish towel drapped over the front can't take care of, just a minor inconvenience.

Chills In Minutes but NoisyAug 23, 2006
By Dean
I love this item solely for the fact that if I have a warm drink of nearly any kind I can chill it in a matter of minutes. That having been said its drawbacks have just caused me to start keeping more things in the fridge.
Problems:
It's loud, generally from the noise of the bottle or can spinning but even the pump and water when used in the "no-spin" mode can be a bit annoying.
You have to fill it with ice, for how much the thing costs I don't want to fill it with ice! I just want to plug it in and go! That may not seem annoying but do it a few times and don't forget to empty the water and you'll see.
Overall if you need to chill things quickly (and I mean quickly) this will do the trick but don't expect it to be quiet or very convenient.
