It is a wonderful size. It is extremely quiet. The dual setting is a very nice feature and with a glance of an eye you can make sure your settings are correct. The only negative I have to say is the shelves do not pull out as easily as I would like it to. And when it states it holds a certain number of bottles of wine, that does not take into account the size bottle of Pinot noir. So the amount of bottles is not accurate in my world since I love Pinot Noir.
