“Had it less than a month. It is as advertised, set at 45 and stays at 45, great internal iighting! The bottom shelf can dump your bottles if you are not careful with it. Slight gurgling sound when cooling, but not terrible. Recommend it.”

“We are not experts but I can tell you that this cooler really fits the bill when you don't have a huge collection. It's aesthetic, seems heavy duty and works well and stably.The customer service at Wine Enthusiast is consistently FABULOUS! This is the second unit I have purchased over the years and I find the staff very helpful and honest. We had a shipping problem in that the unit arrived damaged and the Customer Service Rep had me send pictures of the damaged unit and then sent out a replacement. I wanted to give this cooler to my husband for Father's Day and was so disappointed when it arrived damaged. Amazingly, the replacement arrived the Friday before Father's Day...a full week earlier than expected!Thank you SO MUCH! We love the cooler and will definitely keep buying and recommending your products and service!Great company!!!”

“Nice little wine fridge, holds temp and is fairly quiet. Tough to max out all 28 spaces, more like 23 comfortably.”

“This is my first wine storage unit, and I opted for this model at the recommendation of a friend who owns two of the super large models and is a restauranteur / wine expert here. PROS: it looks awesome, it's holding temperature within 2-3 degrees, lighting works wonderfully, and it flexible design accommodates a variety of bottle sizes. CONS: the compressor is noisy. I expected some noise, but the sound is more intrusive than I imagined it would be from the description. So I'd really give it 4.5 star out of five for the compressor noise as everything else seems to be well done. If fact, I'm think about buying another one when they go on sale.”

“I have had the wine cellar for about a month and it sits next to a 120 bottle fridge that I've enjoyed for about a year. This one handles the 28 bottles well. I have noticed that the temperature varies 5-7 degrees daily. Not a big deal but interesting since it's larger brother does not vary much at all. In addition, the compressor kicks in frequently even though it's in a room with excellent ventilation that's about 68-70 degrees. The compressor is somewhat loud and runs for 5 or some minutes. It also makes some giggling and other sounds. The larger brother does not and is very quiet, albeit a different brand. I would buy this unit again but only if it placed in an area where some noise is ok.”

“Not happy about bottom rack. Doesn't go into slides and therefore can fall out when pulling on rack to see wine. Also, my compressor seems to cycling on and off more than expected and makes tinny noise”

“I'm pretty happy with this wine cooler -- for the price, it seems to perform very well.One thing worth noting about this is the discrepancy in temperature between the top and the bottom of the cooler. I currently have my temperature set to 50 degrees. It stays around 50 on the bottom shelf, but the temperature on the top shelf is 62 degrees, which is a massive 12-degree difference. I've tested with multiple thermometers, so I know it's not a problem with my testing. As a result, it should be treated almost like a dual temp cooler -- I keep my white wine on the bottom half and my red wines on the top shelves.Though it encounters the problem explained above, the fridge maintains a constant temperature, is quiet, and is attractive. For the price, I think this is the best wine fridge one can get.”
