“I purchased two of these and have them "semi" built in - they are in a recessed area with several inches clearance around them as recommended for ventilation. They fit well, seem to be well made, and work well. They are very quiet which is important as they are next to our TV room. Rolling shelves are nice - they provide solid support for the wine (not sliding and rolling as when they are stacked on flat shelves) and provide easy access. As other reviewers mentioned, they require some adjustment for larger bottles and hold fewer of them, but I didn't find that to be a problem. Note that frames of the doors extend slightly past the outside shell of the fridge, so two fridges cannot be butted tightly against each other. In addition, the handles to open the doors are recessed in the outside of the door frames - they require an inch or two of clearance so you can open the door, unless you open them from the top which requires reaching up and puts a twisting strain on the door. I would have preferred being able to butt them together and have a handle on the front of the door, but not a big deal. They do have a nice clean look without a handle on the front. Also the little battery operated LED lights work well and look good.Delivery was pretty good - they set them in place and took away all the packing material. I found that I needed to do the final leveling and adjusting to get them right. One of the shelf brackets was broken on arrival, but Wine Enthusiast was very helpful and quickly sent a replacement.Overall I'm happy with them - they look good, work great, are very quiet, and make it easy to access the wine.”

“All is good with only one exception which was the only reason. I did not give the cooler 5 stars. The cooler itself is perfect.However, I had to call EuroCave and have them explain how to turn on the compressor as the instruction book is poorly written.Customer service was very efficient and helpful.”

“Capacity I have about 100 bottles in this fridge and it seems pretty full to me . You can get about 10 bottles per shelf. Don't get too hung up on the capacity listed on the fridge . Just know that the one you buy much less capacity than stated. I don't think this is uncommon practice manufacturers. Quietness very quiet but if you're planning on putting it in a room where you will be you will hear it Quality Very good quality and seems to be built well. Shelving The rollout shelves are nice. I am considering buying the extra shelves as I do not buy too much bulk of any particular wine. This model has bulk storage on the bottom and one fixed shelf which doesn't work too well for me. I would rather have the rolling shelves. There is one shelf in the middle but does not pull out well. It is attached to some type of support that is not to be removed.as a result need to lift up in order to get the shelf out. When loaded with wine the shelf is heavy and hard to lift and get out . Temperature control I have it set at 51Â° and it seems to go between 50 and 53Â° . Temperature control does not seem that precise but that is fine by me . I do not plan on longer than five or six years and really just need this unit to be able to keep it at a reasonable temperature for decent storage appearance The unit is nice looking and has good finish but seems larger than I pictured. I have it in a dining room adjacent to my living room and it seems to dominate the room Delivery No issues with this in the people who delivered did a good job Overall I am very happy with this purchase. You will need to fool around the shelving configuration to meet your needs but that is a fairly easy workaround . I would recommend this model.”

“The refrigarator does exactly what it is supposed to after it is started.The minimal instructions do not tell you how to do that,and are very frustating.After two days of trying to get it to work,a call to a very helpful salesman at your company solved our problem.The instructions supplied are simply incorrect!”

“Delivery went well, very much like the additional room between shelves...much needed improvement.I would suggest they try about 2" of additional width, most bottles restrict from 6 front and back to 5 bottles front and back rows.noticed the control is not a push and hold like previous Cellars. A light touch gets the job done. if you hold the button the cellar turns off. E J Golightly”
