Great wine cooler, attractive, and it looks that it is quality made. BUT, it is NOT an “80 Bottle Cooler”. It does NOT hold 80 Bordeaux size bottles. There are 7 shelves X 7 bottles per shelve = 49 bottles. Plus the taller bottom shelve can fit 14 bottles. That makes for a total 63 Bordeaux size bottles, NOT 80. You either need to show user friendly illustrations of how to fit the “80 bottles” (I could not find any), or you need to stop advertising it as an “80 bottle” wine cooler. It is false and misleading advertising.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. It’s a little hard to fit 80 bottles here though, even for Bordeaux bottles. A tutorial would be helpful on how to use the shelves most efficiently

I really like the cooler as it is quiet, maintains temp and looks good. I realize in your material you state that the capacity is for Bordeaux sized bottles. I believe you should design your coolers (specifically the shelves) to fit the U.S. sized bottles. It not so much that my cooler doesn't hold the 80 bottles but the shelves don't work well with a standard Cabernet bottle.

Bought this to keep my white wines at the appropriate temperature. This machine does a great job at this. It is quiet.The negatives are:Jagged edges on the door. Racks do not slide smoothly. The racks are difficult to set properly. Door does not always seal unless you press firmly and then check. I have a Eurocave revelation which I love.Bottom line... adequate utilitarian wine FridgeNot a wine storage unit that is cherished and lovedWould trade if I could.

Design, storage, flexibility of storage is fine. My cooler sits in the great room's dining area near the kitchen, the noise bleed into the living area is not insignificant. Delivery was okay--they delivered to the garage, I had to bring it into my home using my dolly and rudimentary physics (fulcrum power) to get it up the few steps and into position. Set-up was not difficult, the door handle required installation. The dual zones is helpful if you need to use that, but be aware that the two independently set temperatures will mean you'll cycle the compressor on and off more often--which creates noise.

I would recommend this. Very attractive,and ultra quiet. Settings for temperature seem accurate. diagrams and info re 80 bottles of bordeaux style are accurate; Stored a few larger bottles in the lower area. The unit weighs 141# empty and at 88 years of age I might have had a problem getting it from my front door to its final resting place,but $150 for the "White-glove' service still seems a trifle much.

It is a very good size, but the shelving could be improved. a bit wider(1 or 2 inches) and higher between shelves(1 inch) would be much better.
