Does anyone have experience with the Koolspace Chillr units?

They are very reasonably priced and seem to be a good fit for my needs. I have a small unfinished section of my basement that is already walled-off - essentially a closet. A few cheap improvements like adding insulation to the one framed wall and slap a cooling unit in and I have a good set-up for a couple hundred bottles. I'm only after cooling, humidity is not a big issue.

I appreciate any input.

I bought a Koolspace unit a few years ago for my basement cellar, but it wasn't the Chillr model. It gave out in the summer, and they gave me the option of shipping it back to them to have it serviced for a charge. The unit did do a good job of cooling but was very noisy and conked out after 3 years. I made the switch to Whisperkool this time and have been very happy with the unit so far. This time I purchased a unit that has a higher BTU rating, and it seems to run less than the other unit. It's also supposed to increase the longetivity of the unit.
