We had a little struggle with the first unit. I set up the unit according to the instructions (making sure that it was level front to back and side to side, and ensuring the appropriate gaps), but the temperature was not right. I set up the unit for 55 degrees, put in the wine, and then walked away allowing it to cool. A couple of hours later, the temperature was at 55, but still dropping. Along the way I pulled the wine out as the cooler as it passed the freezing point and ended up at 16 degrees before it stabilized. I unplugged the unit, left it off for three hours per instructions from the manufacturer. They told me there was nothing much more I could do than that, and to contact Amazon if that didn't fix it. I plugged it back in, and a number of hours later the unit was dropping below 20 degrees. I contacted Amazon, they shipped me a new unit (which appears to be holding the temperature correctly for the week that it's been running) and arranged pickup of the old unit. I'm very happy with Amazon support and the new unit so far.

Update after three weeks:

I reduced my review from 5 stars to 4 stars because at least once a week now I have had to unplug it from the electrical outlet and then replug it so it can start cooling again as it would stop keeping the temperature. The wine refrigerator is in a cool room. Due to this I don't understand why it would stop cooling. I keep the temperature at 53 degrees. Although it says it can reach the low forties it never has reached that cooling temperature. But for me 53 degrees F is good enough for my white, moscato and red wines
"”"”"”"”Otherwise the below holds true:

This little wine refrigerator is a bargain for the buck. I had a very good experience.
1- It was delivered ahead of time.
2- It is very stylish, easy to use
3- Does cool down very rapidly
4- It has a small form factor
5- Can hold regular size wine bottles
6- Buttons are easy to use
7- The light inside the refrigerator is not over powering.
8- It locks, two keys are provided

Cons
1- LED Lights are very bright similar to a 20 Lumen night light
2- For me the temperature is off by two degrees as listed in the outside LED Temp indicator, (I placed a digital thermometer inside the refrigerator)
3- It does have some noise when the compressor kicks in, but minimal.

Looks good and has worked for the last two weeks since I plugged it in. The instructions say that there can be a weird smell when you start it for the first time but I didn't notice any smells. The door hinge seems cheap and you can lift the door off a little too easily. The lock is terrible and after turning it a few times I saw metal shavings start to drop out of it. The lock also doesn't hold the door securely closed. It's about as loud as my full-size fridge when it turns on, and it makes a clicking sound similar to smacking an empty plastic bowl on the counter.

This really is a nice-looking wine cooler, but it does have some characteristics which may make it less desirable depending upon where you plan to locate it in your home. The rating I would give this product really depends on where you plan to locate the wine cooler.

**** (4 STARS) = Location is in a rarely used room or garage
*** (3 STARS) = Location is in a dining room, kitchen, or frequently used room.

What I like:
1. The wine cooler is extremely attractive and looks nice at almost all locations in my home. The external finish has a "quality" look and feel. I would have no reservations displaying this unit at any location. In my home the unit is in a corner of the dining room.
2. The unit seems to keep a very accurate internal temperature. It rarely strays from the set temperature except for when the door is opened.
3. The unit makes effective use of the space it occupies, and I find no wasted space. What is not needed for the compressor, control, and display components is used as storage area for the wine bottles. Very nice design considerations when assembling all the components. It seems to be the most optimized size for the number of bottles that it chills. Kudos to the designers!
4. The wine cooler has a door lock which can be used when desired. It is well designed, works nicely, and is not obtrusive. The wine cooler door lock is located at the bottom of the door and is barely recognizable. It is hidden from view and does not add or detract from the aesthetics of the unit whether used or not.

One would think that if a wine cooler looked appealing, could easily be secured, fit in the available space, and kept the wine at the correct temperature all would be good; and the unit should be given a 5-star review. Unfortunately, this is all that I considered when looking for a wine cooler and I did not consider other things which I would later learn were especially important to my satisfaction of the unit.

What I dislike:
1. The LED display which indicates the set and operating temperature is extremely bright. It will illuminate the room it occupies when dark and can be very distracting. There is no reason for this display to be this bright, but it is not vastly different from other electronics which use similar LED technology. I found that I needed to attach a light diffuser to the LED display panel to reduce the brightness to an acceptable level. Of course, this detracted from the aesthetics of the unit, but made the nighttime illumination acceptable. If this unit were in a rarely used room this may not be an issue for you.
2. The compressor comes on frequently and is noisier than I expected. It seems like the temperature control system for this unit is not designed properly. The compressor comes on for 10-20 seconds every 1-2 minutes. Perhaps there is not adequate hysteresis between the set and operating temperatures or perhaps there is not adequate insulation in the cooled chamber. Whatever the cause, the constant noise from the compressor is distracting and I am concerned about the longevity of the system given the frequent actuations. Again, if the unit were in a rarely used room this may not be an issue unless it is impacting reliability. Other units I have owned never cycled this frequently.
3. The internal light is really just to provide ambiance when viewed from the outside. It is too dim for older eyes to read the wine bottle labels if there is no assistance from external lights. The brightness of the internal light needs to be improved if it is to be useful for something other than ambiance. Perhaps have two settings for the internal light "“ ambiance and full illumination.

I really want to like this unit because it looks genuinely nice in my dining room, but I feel there are several features which need to be addressed before it is a perfect fit and becomes a 5-star unit. Although there is a lot to like about this cooler, the dislikes are really starting to annoy me and I fear they will cause me to return the unit before weeks end.

This wine cooler does everything the manufacturer says it does. Regarding the noise level, I don't really hear it because it's in a wine closet. It's a very nice piece of equipment and keeps our wine and champagne nice and cool.
