This wine cooler sits its a nice addition to our dining room and it is quiet when the compressor kicks on. The bottle capacity is just as it is stated and you can put in 24 regular sized bottles. In my cooler will be holding 20 regular and 2 oversized bottles. The BOTTOM SHELF is rather hard to get bottles in or out since it needs to go in sideways through the slot on the holder. I'm storing a large bottle of Bailey's and champaign which is bigger and doesn't fit in any of the upper shelves. I knew this before deciding to make the purchase. The slight drawback is the really BRIGHT DIGITAL NUMBERS on the front. There is no way to dim it and becomes a distraction. I solved this by using a plastic darkening film you get when your eyes are dilated by an optometrist (the dark film you wear over your glasses), cut it and slid it under the metal frame. I doubled it since the light was still noticeable. (Pre and Post display pictures here). A design drawback are the SHARP METAL CORNERS. I accidentally reached for something when the unit is opened and scratched my arm. OUCH! Although the corners nice looking, the corners are sharp to the touch. Just use some caution in the event you are a klutz like me. THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS are easy to adjust but it shows one degree Fahrenheit higher than the inside temperature. With a full refrigerator, it is not a deal breaker. The unit is very easy to set up and adjust and just follow the instructions. No complaints here. I bought this single temperature cooler to keep and store my wines and a constant temperature. With unknown challenges in climate, the warm days will get warmer and it will be good to enjoy my wine without it all going bad. Storing wine in my inside garage is no longer an option. This refrigerator is priced higher than others in this size category. It doesn't look like the many others on the market and I trust that this will last for years to come. Enjoy.

We’ve been using the cooler for a few weeks now and it’s size is perfect for the area we have it in and the upright open bottle storage is exactly what we were looking for !

Great value. Love the place for standing open bottles. Looks great. Nice to have interior light. And of course works well. This is my second purchase of a WineEnthusiast fridge. Highly recommend.

Size is perfect for us. I find the temperature isn’t always what it should be. Set-up was easy.

The wire rack feels a bit flimsy but does the job. It acts like you can slide the shelve that supports the stand up bottles but there's no bottom so you have to be careful when trying to access a bottle that may be standing in the back. I do like this feature as I can put a bottle upright if we didn't finish it right away. My only real issue with this fridge is the LED is BRIGHT. At night the blue LED illuminates my living room and can be distracting when watching a movie. It would be nice if you could dim the LED but I'm stuck draping something over it so it's not a bother.

Great for someone starting a collection. Looks good in my dining room, and as someone who doesn’t always finish a bottle in one sitting, I enjoy the design of the upright bottle storage.

This unit is exactly what we expected. We love it. It would benefit from more light inside and less light for the temperature display. We could not order on the website and had to call for assistance. We received it with a small dent from transportation.
