Product review (5 stars): Sleek Look, Works Well
After much research we are happy with this choice. It looks good, has an efficient footprint and we can easily check our thermometer through the clear glass door. The wire pull-out racks are sturdy. The sound of it running is more like a fan than a motor, unobtrusive we think. We now better understand two aspects of this unit. You cannot expect the thermoelectric technology to work like a refrigerator (compressor), which we figure is why they say to place the cooler inside a home which stays between 50-80 degrees. Also, we mistakenly assumed you could "set" a temperature and it would go there and stay. The cooling range is stated as "54-66 degrees F". We immediately dialed (touch screen) the digital display to the lowest of 54 degrees and filled the cooler with wine bottles from the kitchen refrigerator. Our thermometer reading then plunged to the 40s but ultimately warmed into the 50s. Ever since,  the cooler has kept our wine storage at a respectable 56-59 degrees (but not 54 as the display reads). On warmer days it does seem to read in the higher range. When we want a white wine chilled for dinner we just walk it to the fridge.
