The fridge arrived securely packed. The box is designed for most of it to lift off of the fridge, leaving just a base under the fridge. If you have two people available, you should lift it off the base packing and set it down without tipping it on its side. As it has a compressor, it should spend as little time sideways as possible. It’s advisable to be patient and follow the instructions to let it rest for a day prior to plugging it in and turning it on. This allows compressor oil disturbed during shipping and setup to settle before running the compressor.
Be sure to lower the four feet a bit and adjust them to level the fridge in its intended location. Lowering the feet at least a little will prevent the bottom of the fridge from touching the floor so that vibrations from the compressor don’t transmit to the floor, amplifying the sound making it louder than it should be. Positioned correctly, the compressor is soundproofed and well isolated, and runs very quietly.
The wood shelves are a nice touch, and there’s space to interlace bottles front to back, so you can pack more in there, if desired. There’s also room for taller Riesling bottles, etc.
The two compartments reach their selected temperatures and stay there. Note that if you want a cooler section for white wines, that has to be the upper section. The lower section must be set at or above the temperature setting for the upper section. Another reviewer here complained that she couldn’t get two separate temperatures. Had she read the instructions, she would’ve realized she was just trying to get the lower section to set to a cooler temperature than the upper section, which it won’t do. This is appropriate, because the lower section will hold more bottles, which is what you want if you’re saving some more valuable reds at ~55°F that will improve with age. White wines don’t really do that, so the upper, cooler section is smaller for keeping the whites that you’ll go through more quickly.
The only “cons” so far are minor. The temperature display is bright and remains on all the time. It would be nice if that would dim. There is a replaceable charcoal air filter inside in the back. The instructions suggest replacing that annually, but don’t indicate where you can obtain replacements.
