I bought this as the center piece to a beverage station in our new house.  The ability to store juice and water for the grandkids on one side and wine for the big kids on the other is brilliant!  The look is very clean and high-end and the unit fits perfectly under a standard counter.

So far, the sound of the motor isn't bothersome as some have reported, but I have located it away from the main living area. Perhaps that's why I haven't noticed it.  

I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone wanting a functional and attractive beverage cooler.
