So far so great. I've only had the cooler for a month, but it looks good in the living room and is holding temperature nicely. 80 bottles would be a geometrical stretch, but it holds enough.

Strong plastic, chemical smell inside Materials for shelves and interior are sort of cheap and bottles dont align well in the fixed metal racks

We love the new fridge. It's the perfect size for our wine and fits great in our space.

The unit functions fine - so far. It has a lot mechanically in common with the now deceased Avanti I bought 7 years ago. So I hope Wine Enthusiast is on its suppliers to meet reasonable standards of quality and longevity. No excuse for closed system refrigerators to last less than 10 or 15 years. Time will tell. The shipping and delivery experience left a lot to be desired. I understand recent supply and logistics challenges. But information along the way should have been better. And the shippers were comical. Delayed trucks, couldn't find the (well marked) address. They almost turned around and left. Lastly, it ought to be called a "Classic 60". No way even slim bottles would be good for 80 without drawer interference. But I expected as much.

Echoing many of the mentions here. I’ve had this fridge for 6+ months now & I keep going back to how poorly designed the shelves are. I have this unit filled with Bordeaux bottles, based on how they estimated maximum storage, & I cannot even get them aligned on one shelf properly. The wiring prohibits you to set them properly. Also- caution to the bottles that sit on the edges of the shelves as the racks above will rip your labels straight through. I wish I had just spent a bit more money to get a non WineEnthusiast brand.

I just received my 80 bottle fridge today after waiting almost 2 months (but I understand the supply chain struggles). Looks like a high quality product and it is quiet. However, there is a serious issue with the shelf size. When trying to place my standard Bordeaux style bottles on the shelves, I can only fit 7 bottles in each shelf, not 9. When attempting to alternate the Bordeaux bottles on the shelves (5 in the front and 4 in the back), the shoulders of the Bordeaux bottles hit each other. Moreover, because the shoulders of the front row bottles are running into the shoulders of the back row bottles, the bottles don't sit properly into the slots on the shelves. When pulling out a shelf, one of the bottles on the side could easily roll off the shelf. I even measured my Bordeaux bottles, and they are the exact size that is stated above. If the shelves were only about 3/4ths of an inch deeper, I could fit all 9 Bordeaux bottles perfectly and the shoulders wouldn't hit each other. Either this is a design flaw, or it is just an issue with my unit. Anyone else have this issue??? I'm hoping it is just an issue with my unit because the size is just what I need. I tried to call customer service, but I kept getting transfered to different departments and no one could help. Hoping they can resolve the issue because everything else with the fridge looks well made!
