I would have given it five stars, but it was dented on the side. :(

The wine cooler purchased a month ago is working fine so far. It delivers all the features advertised with minimum noise.

I love my 28 bottle wine cellar and it does just exactly what it's supposed to do. The wine is beautifully displayed, easy to load and unload. If you're looking for a small but efficient wine cellar then I would recommend this product.

Bought it after receiving the notice of price increase at year's end. Saved $50 so thanks to Wine Enthusiast for the heads up. This was a purchase for basically the better bottles in the collection and longer consistent temp storage. As to the Cellar, it has functioned perfectly so far. After resting 24 hours, plugged in, set it to 39* to test range and reached it fairly quickly. I then loaded it and set to 55* which the unit has no issues maintaining. Seems silly to rate anything so soon but the design and build quality are excellent. I get every kind of bottle shape into it using the lower basket and have 28 bottles fitting, even with Pinot and Aussie Shiraz in the mix. I alternate the direction of the bottles on the shelves for slightly easier identification. This is sited in our upstairs Pantry, which is why I wanted a compressor model. We use pocket doors to enclose the Pantry so I was concerned about the Thermo-electric designs in that space.The larger portion of the wine collection stays in the basement in a natural cellar room with shelving, which in Winter can reach the mid 40's. Unfortunately in Summer, although the coolest place in the house, temps can still approach 68* on occasion. I now have the best of both worlds in terms of storage and upstairs convenience as well. Both my wife and I are very pleased.

First of all, here's the good news:1. I regulates the temperature quite well.Now for the bad news:1.The bottom most shelf was practically impossible to operate at first. The plastic coating on the rack was not uniformly applied so it wouldn't slide across the shelf support. First thing I had to do was cut off the excess with a razor-blade knife.Then to even it out again I had to sand it with fairly coarse sand paper. 2. The interior light is a LED string attached to the frame of the door. When the door is opened, the light no longer shines inside the cooler but instead shines up in my eyes making it difficult to see the contents.

I think this fridge is loud. You can buy the silent version for $100 less at Costco.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. (Should have kept it for myself!) He said it is wonderful. Just the right size. No to big, but large enough to handle a case of wine plus. Always happy with my purchases from wine enthusiast. Fast delivery too! Highly recommend.
