I love this wine fridge. I looked at many for a very long time, and this one suits my needs well. It occasionally makes a little bit of noise, but it's not all the time and I don't find it particularly offensive. It does fit burgundy and champagne bottles, if you have a bunch of them you might have to have them staggered facing in and out. I took out the bottom shelf for standing space. I'm very pleased with this wine fridge. For what it's worth, I sell wine for a living so it's important to me!
