This thing works fine, but there is the strange factor of its controls.  It has 1 white, plastic knob that adjust the temperature.  It goes from "white" on the left to "red" on the right.  Simple, yes.  Maybe too simple.  It has no thermostat or other readout to inform you of the actual temperature, which given the price of this box is quite inconceivable.  I have another wine cooler that cost 1/4 of the price of this one that has a set of controls that permits you to set the temperature quite precisely and has an attractive blue LED temperature readout.  It also works, although it's not as fancy looking as this one.  I've had it for years.  If this one lasts as long, I'll be satisfied, but you can probably do better for the money.  On the pllus side, it's shelves are removable - and you will have to remove some if you store Champagne or any wine in other than typical Bordeaux bottles  - and they have real wood fronts, which is nice.  It has a solid feel and seems well made and the interior light turns on and off when you open or close the door...cool!  On the whole, I like it, but for $1200 it seems to me it ought to be more likable than it is.
