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 a 5 STAR! The unit only cools to 52 Fahrenheit. The temp control stops at 52. So I use it for red wines more than whites.

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.

We recently received our wine cooler on the second try. The first shipment was damaged in shipping and had to be returned. The second shipment arrived and had some minimal damage to one of the top corners. I did not believe this would cause the refrigerator to not function properly so we accepted it. We are very happy with the refrigerator as the temperature is consistent and the unit runs quietly.

We purchased this unit to store overflow from our main wine cooler. The unit is nice looking, relatively quite and seems to maintain temp. Somewhat difficult to remove back bottles from the sliding shelves. I would recommend this unit.

It seems to be louder than our previous wine cooler. But overall it's a nice unit.

Product arrived well packed. The box itself could have been sturdier. The unit is quite. It is keeping the correct temperature. I use it for red wine only. We keep it in a large kitchen. We have had it for about 3 weeks now. If all goes well we may purchase a second unit. (4/10/19).
