Woke us up in the middle of a night when it wouldn't stop beeping even though door stays shut. Unit stop cooling. Warranty service is horrible, the servicemen doesn't know what is wrong with the unit, second guessing the fixes and it's still sitting duck.Very disappointed, will never buy another Whirlpool appliance.

The compressor quit working after a few months. The compressor was annoyingly loud (when it was working) - maybe the new one will be quieter. It is under warranty and Whirlpool said they will replace it but it is taking several weeks. I wonder if they will replace the wine that is damaged. The pullout drawers catch on the door (tearing the rubber seal) if it is not opened fully (beyond 90 degrees). Fat bottles (chardonnay, pinot noir, champagne, etc.) do not fit. Well, they do but the labels get shredded every time you pull out the shelf above, and you have to lift the shelves up to slide them in and out, and you can't put another bottle next to a fat one, so....

Fat bottles are a problem

I've had it a week. Seems good in most ways but fat bottles scrape when the drawer is opened. I need to lift the shelf above to pull out the lower shelf. Many bottles of chardonnay are fat at the base, as well as champaign. It's not adjustable. Kind of a pain. You could just put fat bottles on the lowest shelf but in my case, there's too many. I use this unit exclusively for white wines, many of which are fat bottles. Shelves are sturdy and hold bottles well. Unit is quiet.

Very pleased

After extensive research to find the best quality to fit my budget under $1000 (looked a numerous models under $750 and read many reviews and this price point appeared to offer best quality). I purchased this wine cooler in July 2016. It runs very quietly and maintains the single zone temperature well. I use it to store bottles of beer and wine, however, champagne and "wider" bottles don't fit well and shelves with these bottles don't slide well and can't be adjusted. Aside from that , very pleased with purchase

Open The Door All the Way

Very tight fit in a 24" wide opening - should have built the space 1/4 wider. Not much excess room on the height either. Seems to work good (only been installed for about 3 weeks) but need to make sure you open the door all the way or the pull-out shelves hit the gasket and could damage it. We fit as much wine as we need to.
