I've been looking for over a year for a unit that would store my decent collection of reds at a price that makes sense. Let's just say it has not been easy. The decent units cost a fortune and almost everyone has some poor reviews. I thought I found a nice wine fridge on Craigslist and borrowed a truck to go pick it up. Thankfully I took a thermometer with me because the new unit never got below 75 even though the reading on it said 60. I left and decided to stop at Costco for some grocery shopping. By luck I found this unit there for $999 and picked it up. First I would probably advise against getting any such unit off the web. Get it somewhere you can return. I have had no issues but bases on some of the reviews I've read on every model, I've come to the conclusion that some just have defects and need to be returned. Shipping charges are also ridiculous. These units are heavy and once you take the packaging off it's impossible to get back on. Anyhow, it took me less than a minute to start it and set temps for both zones and my thermometer confirmed its got the right reading in both zones so effectively it does what it advertises. Also this must be the only unit that will actually hold as many bottles as advertised. I got exactly 142 in and they include Pinots, Syrahs, bigger Cabs, etc. I only give it 4 stars for two reasons:first, it's louder than I expected as a fan in there runs almost all the time. Mine is in a formal living room and while I can hear it, it's not any different than my top of the line kitchen fridge. Secondly, the lock on the bottom is truly a puss poor design. It works for my purposes which is keeping my kids out of it but any adult can pull bottles out of the top racks while it's locked. I'll write an update if things change but for now I'm very happy. It's a good looking unit though deeper than I expected. Not sure how Costco had it for half or 40% off Amazon and other web stores. Maybe it's being discontinued as with everything these days.

Ordered this unit after space limitations limited my options, but also performed web research on the company and product.It looks great, and keep your wine consistently chilled at the temperature set.My only negative, and it is significant, is the unit's noise.Every time the compressor kicks on, it is LOUD.Then it fades to an acceptable level.The problem however, the unit also vibrates to the point I'm calling in a service request (or it will be returned if not remedied).It is louder than two other fridges in the same space combined by far.I emptied the unit of all bottles, rechecked the leveling on the floor, and set it up a second time, no improvement.The vibration is from within the walls of the fridge, not the wine bottles or racks.
