I just bought one off Ebay this week and tried it out last night. I had a 3litre wine box. The inside of the Husky is egg-shaped and I found that the tap on the bag does not sit easily in the slot provided because the bag is NOT egg-shaped! When the bag is full the lid of the Husky will not shut properly. I would guess you would need to remove 3 or 4 glasses worth of wine before it would.
I was expecting the wine to chill quickly but it seemed to take the same length of time as putting a bottle in the fridge. This could be because the lid would not close, and it might work better when the bag is less full.
Also, the unit takes up quite a large footprint on the worktop.
I have only had it a day, but so far I would give it about 4 out of 10.
PS - the publicity photos make it look like it is finished in a nice stainless steel, but mine is in spray-paint silver and in several places the paintwork is not that good (with scuff-marks etc.), and it has dimples in the plastic etc. so the aesthetic effect is not that great. I always think that if the quality control on the outside isn't up to much it probably is the same deal on the inside.
Before I bought this one I emailed the company to ask a question and never got a reply, so I am wondering if they are still in business.
The unit is fitted with a mains plug. No sign of a 12v connection.
