I've had this bad boy for a year now and I love it. It's been through two moves in that year, and it's still running strong. The cons: First, yes - there's a slight hum and gurgling every now and then. If you have a regular fridge right now, you'll be fine with the noise output of this unit. Second, and this is hardly a con, the AIR temperature (and therefore the temp on the display) does fluctuate sometimes up to 7 degrees. That's simply a reality of any device that changes temperature of the air. Since we're using this for wine (a fluid) it doesn't really matter as long as the average temperature is stable. It takes more time and energy to change the temperature of a fluid than it does the air surrounding it, so the wine will remain a relatively constant temperature. br /br /The pros: 30 bottles!!! That is the maximum of any unit I was looking at and I am sure glad I went with it. Most wine enthusiasts will say that they quickly grow their collection to the limit of their space and budget and I am no exception. I went from keeping maybe two bottles on hand to having this thing stocked at all times. You'll rarely find less than two cases at my home these days, and the cellar helps keep that selection populated and ready to drink. My mother got an 8-bottle fridge this year, which I suppose works for her, but I like to have 8 KINDS of wine on hand, usually a few bottles of each, so I am better off with more space.br /br /The display with curved glass and light inside really shows off the contents - good stuff! br /br /Another reviewer asked how to manually adjust the thermostat - hold down the + and - buttons together until the display starts blinking. Then press + or - to the desired temperature then press SET to confirm. That's really all the info needed from the missing manual. It does also say it's warmer at the top than the bottom, as one would expect. I've measured a temperature difference of 5 degrees at most, but that's fine. I keep reds up top and whites at the bottom. That way red wines are about 55 degrees, white wines about 50, so it takes only a short time to chill a white wine to drinking temperature.

Perfect for storing my wine - R. Buchanan - Brooklyn NY!
I have had this cooler for a couple of months now, and it has worked great. The temperature stays consistent. It's relatively quiet (minor compressor noise when it turns on). And depending on the shapes of the bottle, you can fit more than 30 bottles in - I think I have 38 in there. It is a bit more attractive in real life than in the photo here on the site.
