This mode was a good value, is quiet and can hold up to 18 bottles. Smart looking too!

I bought the WE 18 botyle Dual Zone Refrigerator for my kitchen. I have 4 other wine refrigerators out of sight, but I wanted one stocked with a variety of wines ready to pair with dinner each evening. The dual zone allows me to keep both red and white wines ready to drink at just the correct temperature. My only complaint is the temperature settings are not accurate as seen on the digital display. I have to use my refrigerator thermometers in each zone to set the thermostat more accurately. Very disapponting. Other than rhat I am pleased with the look, quietness, and size for my kitchen.

I love the narrow size of this refer but it has a hard time staying at the temperature that I set it to. If you don't mind a fluctuation of 5 degrees from where you set it, then it is fine. If you want it at a constant temp, then this isn't the unit for you.

This is a classy new piece of furniture in our home. The light is a nice feature when you're trying to select a bottle and the ambient light is not bright enough. I suggest storing the bottles punt-end first so that you can easily see the labels without pulling them out too far. It is very silent as advertised. I do find that when I am retrieving a bottle, it tends to warm up 5-10 degrees but it doesn't affect the bottles and it cools back down relatively quickly. We debated on dual zone or single zone but if you'll drink any whites (we love champagne and other whites during the warmer months) it's worth it. Also, you can always set both temperatures to the red setting when you don't have any whites on hand.

It met my expectations. It is quite and perfectly fits the space I had in mind. The dual temperature zones works well and if you don't finish the bottle, it is nice to have the upright feature.

Highly recommend ... purchased one over a year ago for my Butler's Pantry and then bought another for a vacation home where space was also an issue ... holds just the right amount of bottles and love the extra feature of leaving an open but not complete bottle at the top level.

GREAT size, cools very well. Looks like another piece of furniture. Only problem is the sound of the fan. Its actually louder than the full size refrigerator and can even hear it over the TV. I may try moving it to a different area and see if that may solve the volume. Do recommend it though

This is a very nice small wine cooler that fits in the small space I have for it. It is easy to operate, has a replacable top rack if you want space to p-lace opened wine bottles, and only occasionally will have a low hum. Overall we like it very much!
