It is perfect for a small apartment or living space - I use for reds and champagne and keep it at 55 degrees. I can fit 8 bottles so I don't know who was saying they couldn't.
Great unit. Wanted something that would chill a small number of bottles and able to set thermostat lower than is recommended for white wine. This product not only fits our needs, it looks great. We set thermostat 39 degrees. PERFECT. Only issues we have is some bottles don’t fit well and pushed up the rack above it and when we lose power, the thermostat goes back to default setting of 55 degrees. Neither one of the issues would keep us from buying one. Again, great little unit. Very happy with purchase.
Display and thermostat quit working within 2weeks. Cuisinart says I have to pay shipping to return it. This is ridiculous for a defective product! Would rate it a zero if possible.

This wine cellar is the perfect size for me. It fits in the space I have and holds 8 full-sized bottles of wine, including champagne (if they're not outsized). The temperature adjustments and light are easy to see and use. I'm so glad I spied it in my friend's newly renovated kitchen!
