This was our first "real" wine refrigerator and given my husband enjoys white and I enjoy red, we needed a dual zone unit. plus we end up always buying more than we need so a nice sized cooler was helpful. Well, this one not only looked gorgeous but it was very trusty- keeping the white in the 40's and the red in the 50's. and the seal on the door was always tight too. plus I didn't really notice the compressor sound either. So it's definitely a good buy!
