**At 6 month mark, still working like new, very pleased with the purchase.
Original Post Purchase Review:
Sought a wine cooler for placement in a walk-in pantry under a 33" height built in shelf. Although primary goal was cold, would have considered a dual zone unit, but found selections meeting our height restriction were very limited. Additionally, would have purchased a wifi compatible unit, but, again, limited choices.
Receipt:
- Received/installed a week ago, following WE's instructions for sequenced placement, powering, adjustment and loading.
- Packing/packaging was excellent, slight damage to exterior boxing, but unit arrived undamaged.
Operation:
- Consistently maintains 41 degrees F (lowest available setting; would have preferred slightly lower range).
- Periodically soft but audible compressor noise: "traditional" fridge noise plus an occasional "tinkling" noise, neither of which are obnoxiously loud, but unit isn't silent 24/7. Placement in our pantry addresses some of the noise and if we close its sliding/pocket door, we hear nothing.
- Although standard on all modern refrigerators, the switchable interior light is useful and more than a "nice to have."
- Good, simple and easy to use top edge control panel.
Appearance:
- Sleek, modern, attractive appliance.
Assessment: Good quality wine fridge, more towards a base level, but very satisfied thus far.
