Replaced a 90-bottle unit that ran warm. Two zones settled within a day and the lower zone holds 55°F without drifting. The grooved shelves are the real upgrade — nothing rattles.

Fits a 24-inch opening exactly as published. Front venting meant no cabinet surgery. Delivery was curbside — worth arranging help for 256 pounds.

Holds about 180 with mixed Burgundy and Bordeaux, not the full 215. Compressor is audible in a quiet room. No complaints on temperature stability across eight months.

They talked me out of the bigger unit. That is when I knew I was buying from the right people.
