It's a very nice-looking product, but the compressor is unreasonably loud. I have a full-size refrigerator that makes a fraction of the noise this thing makes. It is also frequently kicking on and off, like once every three minutes. Sitting in my living room is now less comfortable than it used to be because of all the noise.

The refrigerator looks sleek and is quiet. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the racking is a flimsy and it doesn't allow for the larger bottles, but for the price (on sale) I am very happy with it.

The cooler was on back order, so it took quite awhile before I actually received it after placing (and paying for) the order. However it arrived in excellent shape, and was very easy to unpack and set up. I followed the instructions of allowing the cooler to sit, unplugged for 24 hours, and the wine cooler has performed flawlessly since then (I've had it for about a month). It doesn't run frequently, and is very quiet when it does. The upright bottle storage feature is especially useful, as there are frequent occasions when we don't finish a bottle the day it's opened. I'll have to wait and see what the reliability is after a year or two, but so far, I'm 100% pleased with my purchase.

This is my third wine fridge. The first one was replaced because wine leaked from open bottles and ruined the door gasket. The replacement stopped cooling the white section. I was told that this model, with a compressor and not a circuit board, would last longer. I do like that it has room to stand up open bottles. I don't like that there is only one temperature zone, so do I chill for reds or for whites? Or between, meaning both are wrong? Maybe the fourth will have a compressor, a way to stand bottles, two zones and a reasonable price. A girl can dream.

I knew going in that this wine cooler would likely hold fewer bottles than it says it does. I have been able to put 20 bottles in it using the « standing room » and the bottom. I wish it had dual zone cooling but I was not willing to pay for it, so I leave it at 54 which is a compromise for the reds and whites we put in it. I do not « store » wine per se; we generally drink a bottle within 6 months of buying it. For our basic needs, this cooler works well. The packaging was fantastic!

Followed the setup instructions and it has worked perfectly for the three weeks I’ve owned it. Set the temp at 55 and it holds there. No noise at all; I really like the ability to store 3 or 4 bottles vertically. Door closes fine for Riesling bottles stored on the racks. Pinot Noir bottles can fit well with Bordeaux bottles if you plan for it.
