Top section stopped cooling after 3.5 years. 10 years is more reasonable Considering this track record I would not risk to buy more expensive item.

I bought it as a gift for my wife. She loved it!! It looks nice and it holds a lot. Been keeping it set at 54 degrees which is perfect for her, but I like that you can set it to your own preferences. I didn't like that tape was used around the perimeter of it because it left some glue residue on it, so that took some cleaning. It's also worth noting - these are silent. I'm a realist - I know the thing has to work to keep things cold, so it has to make some noise. How could it not. But I guess it's not as quiet as I thought it would be. That said, we're very happy we have it and my wife feels like a real "big shooter" by having her own wine fridge. I'd definitely buy another one if I needed to. It's only been a couple weeks so we'll see how it holds up over time.

I never write reviews although I frequently depend upon them. There seemed to be some dichotomy to this product, so I will add my two cents. This is perfect for my needs. I have a very large wine cellar, and this is not meant to keep my long term wines at a particular temperature. It is meant to get my wines out of the 39 degree refrigerator there by making more room for food and getting the wine a bit warmer. I have the whites at 52 and the reds at 55. The motor is so quiet I almost never hear it working. The wine now is ready to drink immediately as opposed to waiting for the 39 degree wine to warm. Plus I like the upright storage for the open bottle.

It fits so well in my kitchen without taking up any space, doing double-duty as a plant stand too!. And, of course, it does the job and is very quiet. (I do wish there were color choices. I may try some wood-tone contact.)

We had been wanting to purchase a wine refrigerator for a long time and finally decided on this one. The slimline design is perfect for smaller spaces and having the dual zone temperature settings for white & red wines was important to us. We also like having the option (or not) of storing bottles upright once opened.The refrigerator arrived well-packaged and is relatively easy to remove from the box if you open both ends and slide it out.We were very impressed with the look of this-- it's very stylish and completely silent when operating. You do need to level it using the adjustable front leg, but it was easy to do on a flat surface. Programming the temperature settings for the top and bottom was a snap, but it did take about 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down to the temperatures selected. We would highly recommend this product!

There seem to be some issues with the temperature settings. I have them set on one temp, but then the reading is showing different temperatures. Getting it setup initially was kind of a pain, because in order to get it level, you have to use knobs to adjust the height. It's not clear to me why it was made adjustable, I'd rather just have it level already. It's still kind of wobbly after several adjustments. Overall, very nice looking , and I like being able to stand up open bottles.
