What owners report
Does an okay job but during hot summer days it can't quite hit the lower temperature range. Fine for red wine storage though.
For the price, this is a great little unit. The LED lighting looks awesome and it holds exactly 12 bottles as advertised, though larger bottles are a squeeze.
Bought this for my home bar setup and it looks fantastic. Temperature control is simple and effective for keeping whites chilled.
