Nice paperweight
Acquired this model about 6 months ago; it replaced a previous failed (different brand, I think, but can't recall the name) product of the same type. When it works, does so flawlessly.
However, this Kalorik unit itself failed, exactly ONE year after manufacture.
I guess unless one is wiling to spend upwards of $1200.00 for a bona-fide, secondary refrigerator, sanctioned only for wine storage, these thermoelectric versions are woefully lacking in either design or execution. We enjoy wine, but don't have the budget or space for a large, standalone appliance.
Spending $200.00 or more for an appliance with a projected lifespan of less than 12 months is absurd. Perhaps someone will soon design and build a better product that can be afforded by regular joes like us. (Folks who will not spend more than $40.00 or so for a bottle of wine.)

Piece of garbage
The fiance and I have wanted a wine cooler for a while and figured this would be a great wedding gift for ourselves. What a mistake that turned out to be. Have owned this for about a month and the bottom section keeps the red wine at a balmy 68 degrees. Understand that the highest you can set it for is 64 degrees. The fans spin but it won't keep the wine cool. Turns out it would cost more to have a repair tech look at it than what we paid for it. If you're looking for a good wine fridge look elsewhere.
Best cooler for this size category
Excellent cooler for it's size category!quiet,dual zones work great and we like the lights.all different sized bottles fit just fine.it is worth the price rather than cheaper models.
