Adequate, but too small
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Pros: Looks nice, easy interface, temperature control is pretty quick. The other review is right, the packaging is very good.
Cons: The big con is that this unit will NOT fit all 750ml bottles adequately. I bought a long-necked bottle of Riesling…it’s an inch too long to fit! I had to lay it diagonally across the bottom tray, taking up 3 spaces. I bought a wide 750ml bottle of Pinot, and a bottle of port..they’re too wide to fit the middle racks. I have to stick them in the top rack. Ok, I understand it’s not meant to hold 18 port bottles but you’d figure that the rest of the wider red bottles should fit. But no. Even some other moderately-wide 750ml bottles seem to have trouble fitting into the middle racks.
If the unit was just a little a couple inches taller and deeper to accommodate more 750ml bottle shapes, it would be a great device. As is, expect to fit about ~15 bottles, and have some squeezing/rearranging issues.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve had this unit for about 3 weeks and it’s running quite well. It arrived quickly and undamaged. Packing could have been better but since it arrived OK, no problem. It fits 18 normal wine bottles (750ml). It’s quite quiet (certainly less noisy than the Cusinart I had). Temperature is adjustable and accurate. Obviously it allows for one temperature, so if you like your white wines chilled you’ll probably have to move it to the fridge and hour before you open the bottle.
Overall I’m very happy with this unit. We called a wine store for a recommendation and this is the manufacturer he recommended.
