Looks good but...

Then spaces are hard to hold a large body bottle. We make it work but not perfect. Looks sleek though
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sleek with no protruding handle, back lit panel is amazing for lightning the wine bottles. Extremely quiet operation. Sorry they discontinued this unit.

Bottle capacity 50% of advertised

If you are intending to utilize the advertised capacity of this wine refrigerator, beware.
The shapes of 750 ml wine bottles vary based on the type of wine they contain, with the differences largely rooted in tradition, function, and regional winemaking practices. Each shape serves practical and historical purposes, signaling to consumers what kind of wine is inside.
It is common for bottle shapes to be slightly larger, have high shoulders versus low shoulders or tapered necks. Some bottles are wider, etc. The next time you are at the wine store shopping for a nice red take note.
The problem with this wine refrigerator, is the advertised capacity. If you have any variety of wines at all other than one or two specific bottle shapes, it will not be possible to achieve the advertised capacity. The bottles just do not fit together when alternated according to the rack design. I have a few collectible wines, but most of my wine comes from the grocery store and is nothing special. As I attempted to load this wine fridge, I ran into multiple situations where the bottle just would not fit. They design is such that there is no tolerance for variation. Simply put, the bottles need to be skinny, with a low or taper neck. I was hoping to get at least 40 bottles in this unit, but was only able to get 27 or 28. Meanwhile, there is a shelf that appears to be a regular drink can or bottle shelf on the bottom which I have no use for. I wish Café had just advertised a 30 count wine refrigerator and allow room for the variety of bottle shapes that actually exist in the real world. Bummer.

Poorly designed, won't fit most sized bottles.

I bought this to match my other Cafe appliances and it looks pretty from the outside. Inside it is very poorly designed. It will not fit anything other than a slender wine bottle so forget champagne. We go so tired, we finally just removed shelves to make things fit and lost a ton of storage room.
I don't mind this, but there is a sensor light on this that you cannot turn off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
