Aesthetically this model is great looking; Functionally it does the job. My only complaint would be the "standard" bottle spacing that it comes with. With many non-standard wine bottles out there, I find myself moving bottles around to make them fit in the space available. Not a big deal, but I'd rather see this unit's capacity reduced in order to easily fitting the myriad of bottle shapes and sizes.
If not mounted in a cabinet, the unit is very " front heavy" and MUST be secure to prevent fall forward when the door is open. The Shelves are a bit close together and the lables will scrape off if one is not careful.
Looking for the perfect sized, perfect solution high end wine refrigerator. This is the one. The dual zones working amazingly and it looks fantastic. We couldn't be more satisfied.
I replaced a Sub Zero wine cooler with this because it was less than 1/2 price. Shelves are secure but not high enough for all bottle designs. It also tends to tip over when shelves are extended - trying to get this resolved but little response from the retailer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We understand the disappointment this causes, and we deeply apologize. Thank you for choosing Cafe Appliances for your home, and have a wonderful day!
The wine fridge looks great but there’s no way the typical person who buys this is going to be able to store 46 bottles in there. Half that number is more realistic unless you’re loading it with cheap quality Bordeaux-style bottles like Two Buck Chuck comes in. Nicer bottles and especially Burgundy bottles only fit on two of the six shelves.

The she F spacing does not allow for storage of any size wine bottle. Wine labels are easily damaged. 7-8 bottle storage capacity listed in owners manual does not work. At best 4 bottles can be stored or the shelves do not slide at all. Very poor design.
