Ordered this product from Amazon when it returned to stock -- price for product with prime shipping (free) plus add-on overnight shipping was under $200.00. Arrived before noon the next day. A great deal.

Unpacked and set-up in family room -- took 30 minutes to cool to 58 for red wine (I have a 16-bottle unit that has my whites stored). I've had the unit for four days and it's doing what it should. No sound and temperature on display verified with thermometer placed in unit for two days.

A great thing about the product is that if you would like to upgrade the look of the unit with wood shelves they are available for separate purchase on Amazon. As previous reviewer, I think it looks nice as is once the wine bottles are loaded.

Please note that the included instruction book says to level unit that all legs adjust -- however, only the leg under the hinge adjusts (not really a problem).

The only "complaint" with the unit is that, like all the other units I've read about, it does not hold 28 bottles if your collection includes any pinot-size bottles. The unit has slots for the shelving at other levels which is helpful to adjust, but in the end I have taken out one shelf (half of my wines are in pinot-style bottles). I have a few small bottles that I've been able to add on top of the pinot. I would say that even with the lower capacity this is still a great deal.

We purchased the Whynter 28 bottle wine cooler to start our small mid-range collection. From what I have gathered, the no-vibration thermoelectric wine coolers are much more gentle on your wine and easily hit the required temp range. The Whynter unit appeared to be a nice looking unit and had the capacity we were looking for.

We received the product in a much quicker timeframe than we expected. It was a no fuss setup and looked really high-end when we had our bottles in the unit. Couldn't be happier on the price too. Depending on where you situate the unit, it takes less than 25-30 mins to get the internal temperature to an ideal 58F for my reds. The door lock was also a nice bonus, especially with teens at home =)

Very pleased with everything about this purchase. Thanks again for a great shopping experience.
