Wonderful for all of your…

We needed a secondary wine fridge to store excess bottles of wine and other alcoholic beverages so they wouldn't take up precious space in our primary refrigerator. We love to host get togethers at our home and in addition to serving wine, we also like to serve mixed drinks. So in addition to the wine that we store in there, we also keep tonic water, gin, champaign and even some non-alcoholic beverages for those who don't drink. It's nice because we don't have to use buckets full of ice to keep drinks cold for everyone which can get drippy or messy.
As I mentioned before, this is our second wine chiller. Our first one is built in and upstairs in the butler's pantry near the dining room. We placed this one in our walk-out basement for ease of access for our outdoor events on the patio. It's really lovely as a stand-alone appliance and I love that it can be used as a built-in later if we so choose.
The wine is kept at the right temperature (I checked using a thermometer). The finishes on the wine chiller are quite lovely like the wood panels and soft touch closing drawers (they pull in slowly at the end to prevent any jarring movements). We have younger children (or adults who may have had a little too much to drink) and the alarm notifying us that the door has been left open (when the temperature goes too low) is a great feature. Oh, and the door can be placed to open on the right or left.
One intangible feature I wanted to point out is the great warranty. It's a 2 year warranty on parts and labor and 5 years on the compressor. Our previous wine chiller did not have such a great warranty and the compressor went out. We decided to replace it instead of repairing it. This warranty gives me peace of mind knowing I won't have to pay to replace the compressor (probably the most major part to fail if anything goes wrong) if it goes out in the first 5 years of ownership.
We've had this wine chiller for a month now and it works just as well as our built-in luxury brand wine chiller for a fraction of the price. I would definitely re-purchase this item/brand.
I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest feedback and opinion.
