We replaced another wine cooler of the same size with this one and found that the temperature has been more consistent and the wine bottles stacked much better. It also looks very nice and fit in with our other stainless steel appliances. The big plus was that we could put it under a built-in counter which you can't do with a thermoelectric cooler. Price was reasonable. It actually holds 30 regular size bottles of wine! I took off one star because it does make a little more noise having a compressor, the light is not led and doesn't shine down through the cabinet, and I wish the temp control panel was visible without opening the door. Minor things but some things I miss from my previous cooler.
