im very satisfied with this unit! i had been shopping around for an affordable - stylish - serviceable unit for some time and found it here! as other reviews indicate when the cooling unit switches on there is some "sound" - sort of like a quiet whoosh of wind/water.. the unit maintains its temperature well and you cant beat the elegant looks. the only problem i encountered was with the shipper (i opted for the free delivery) in arranging the delivery.. they messed that up indicating delivery had been made.. (ever try to misplace a 5 ft 125 lb box in a 12 unit apartment building... ) when it had been returned to the loading dock.. after a day they found it and successfully made the delivery around my schedule. other than that inconvenience id buy it again! (with the way im raking up wine - i may have to, too !!)

As others have stated, the unit is noisy when the compressor kicks in, but this does not last long since it cools quickly. A new unit needs 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, but after that it is very accurate. I keep two thermometers inside at different levels. It is within one or two degrees of the LED
readout. I have it set for red wine and keep white wine at the bottom where it is about 8 degrees cooler.

It is a very elegant piece with the brushed steel handle and the black front with see-thru.

The stated capacity of 60 bottles is optimistic since it requires putting one bottle sideways in front of the five bottles facing forward on the top 9 shelves. This will not work if you have any longer bottles on a shelf, but with most bottles it works fine. Overall, an excellent buy.

I have had my designer series 60-bottle cellar for 1 1/2 years and I LOVE it!!! I get many compliments and other than the occasional noise as the compressor kicks in (which isn't very often or very loud), I can't imagine a better home cellar unit.

On a price/capacity basis, I certainly feel like Amazon and Haier delivered serious value. I am currently shopping for an even bigger cellar unit, at which point, my friends are going to fight to buy mine used.

LOVE IT AND RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY...

A long sad story: we ordered this wine cooler at the beginning of January and it was supposed to be delievered in middle January. Well, they shipped the WRONG cooler (Haier HVFO60ABL 60-Bottle). We complained at Amazon.com and I have to say they promissed to replaced it with the right one. Today ...they delivered... only that this model is HORRIBLE: temperature setting works randomly, the cooling unit is extremely noisy: we can hear it from upstairs and our house is really big.

Folks, my father, when asked by someone why he is buying expensive things, he answered simply; "I am too poor to buy cheap things!". Too bad I myself forget these very deep thought sometimes.

PS Too bad that Amazon does not have start the star counting at minus infinity. That's where this piece ... is at. And too bad Amazon is doing business with these kind of companies.
