The only bad thing i can say about this item is that one of the rubber foots/feet came off when putting the item into its area. It was resolved by just putting the foot back where it broke from and it doesnt wobble or anything. I dont know if they sell replacement feet or not but it wasnt worth my time trying to get it fixed when i had it for 2 hours.
This unit is wonderful to look at and i enjoy the large size and the ability to look into the fridge and seeing all my wonderful bottles of wine! The racks only really hold the normal sized bottles and not the large ones or some of my champagne bottles. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how open bottles can still be put back into the fridge without spilling or leaking (by not being on its side but at an angle), but that was the biggest selling point for me with this fridge. I looked for others and could not find any with this feature under 1k.
A drawback: the door doesnt quite seem to open far enough to easily allow the racks to come out. Not a big deal but could be for some people.
Another possible drawback: when the fridge was first turned on it kind of had a whining "fridge running" kind of noise that was louder than the normal fridge. That went away and now has the same sounds as my normal fridge does when it turns on to keep the temperature.

Ok, so I just picked this up a few days ago at my local retailer (they had this unit on sale for %50 off) and I have to admit, this unit has been running pretty good. Now, I selected this unit based on several factors:
1) Wine Capacity
2) Open Wine Storage
3) Noise Level
This unit can accommodate up to 29 bottles (5 bottles per rack). The racks have a little trouble sliding out, but it's no biggie if you like to look at the wines individually (which is my preference). The bottom rack can be used for either oversized bottles like Champagne or you can store open bottles at the bottom (they are tilted at an angle) which is great so you do not have to take up room in your kitchen refrigerator. Another thing I like about this unit, it's very quiet. When you do hear the compressor turn on, it's only audible for about 3 5 seconds before it quiets down. If you are hosting a party or if you have some audible noise in the background, it will not be heard.
The unit itself needs about an inch and a half of clearing space between each of its sides so heat can escape properly (which prevents the unit from overheating). The back of the unit needs about two inches as well and it also needs about two inches of clearing space if you were to store it under a cabinet. So far I have it setup in my living room with two inches of clearing space all around and heat has not been an issue.
Now, this unit does not really have dual climate zones for red or white wines. Typically, the bottom of the unit gets a little colder, so they recommend putting your white wines at the bottom while the red wines stay up top. I currently have this unit set to 60 degrees and it has had no issues keeping the wines cooled. Time will tell to see how long this unit lasts. As far as appearance go's, this unit does have a nice look, stainless steel door frame and everything is black so it gives it a noticeable, but elegant look.

I've had this wine fridge about 9 months now and am very happy with it.I researched quite a bit before the purchase and liked the idea that this unit was actually by an "appliance" company, not some other company just making/marketing a product for a niche market.
Very quiet, barely/never hear the compressor cycle on when it starts the cooling cycle.Has 3 settings, red, white, and custom.External digital readout indicates the temperature stays within 1 degree up/down of the set point (haven't actually put a thermometer inside to verify the inside temp with the readout).Shelves have adequate spacing, no problems there.Nice sharp look in black and silver, and there's a cool interior bluish light you can turn of if you want to (it automatically turns off after a set time).
Got it on sale from major box store for $395 + tax, free delivery.Real happy with the purchase, price and capacity.When it's almost full I know it's time to stop buying wine or start drinking more :-)

I've had this wine Refrigerator for two (2) years without a problem.
It's quiet and
Maintains constant temperature +/2 degrees. Excellent for long term storage
Nice looking unit also.
I see someone complained about rubber feet. A minor annoyance that won't affect performance. No problem with mine. They don't need much adjustment.
I read another review which said, it Only lasted Seven (7) Years. About 6 more than most thermoelectric models that won't maintain temperature unless your room is a constant temperature. That's 2 years past compressor warranty. That is a great return on your investment too me. Seems any problems are corrected, although GE doesn't show up the next day nor would I expect them to, so that's a plus.
I wish they made a larger capacity model. Home Depot has 88 reviews averaging 4 1/2 stars.?So read negative reviews carefully to see if there really is a problem with the reliability of the product.
I have debated buying a wine fridge for a good month, read a ton of reviews and decided to go with the GE model. I am not disappointing with my decision, it works as expected and all the negative reviews i read about the rubber feet falling off was a non-issue for me.
The one thing i would say, even though i didn't buy this fridge for the locking system, the mechanism is really cheap, but i you can get around it just by not using it.
Otherwise love this thing, and makes you look like a sophisticate.
