This wine cooler is very sleek-looking and fits beautifully into our new kitchen design. Wine chills to the perfect temperature and the blue interior light is very pretty. I appreciate the locking feature as I have young grandchildren but the lock is on the bottom so you practically have to sit on the floor to use it. I would not call it “loud” as some others have, but you can hear it when it is running. We do not have countertops installed yet so I expect that will muffle the sound some more. You also have to remove some of the shelves if any of your wine bottles are not standard size. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
