I recently redid my kitchen and bar, and wanted to add a beverage center to hold my bottled beer. You can tell this product was designed for cans because the shelf heights were not perfect for bottles, but I was still able to get about 80-90 beer bottles. I was not able to use the top shelf for beer; I was able to store a few white wine bottles on its side. I have noticed that the noise some days is louder than others, but only enough that I would not want it in my bedroom. I wish this product had an energy start rating even though I have not noticed any significant change on my electric bill.
