I'm curious to hear from those of you who own (or have owned) one of these fridges.

If you can tear yourselves away from the WS-scam thread for a moment, I'd very much appreciate if you could take the time to answer these questions:

If you own (or have owned)a Wine Enthusiast 28-bottle Silent Wine Refrigerator:

1. Satisfied or not?
2. Problems?
3. Service?
4. Anything else I should know about this unit?

Thanks for your attention. (If you are kind enough to respond I'd appreciate if you did not recommend me to get a different fridge: I have my reasons for inquiring about this specific item.)

I was just looking at this same unit, to buy for a wedding present for a friend. I think I'm going to go for it. It's extremely cheap, compared to other options. It does NOT have any vibration control, humidity adjustment, or cooling zones. In other words, it really is just a fridge. So, don't use it for long term storage, just immediate consumption. It is certainly nice looking, and will be perfect for my buddy's small NYC apartment.

Thanks for responding Chum: But I'd like to hear from people who actually own, or have owned one.

It looks exactly like an Avanti 28 bottle unit I own. If the WE one is made by Avanti, I'd recommend it. I've had mine for almost two years, and it works flawlessly, as long as it has enough space between it and the wall (shuts down otherwise). It's fine for daily drinkers, as the keepers are in offsite storage.
