Dead on arrival
The description says that the fact that the fan is the only moving part means that this refrigerator is very reliable. That wasn't my experience. I plugged it in, left it on its coolest setting overnight, and made the mistake of putting a couple of bottles of wine in it. Not only did it not cool the wine, it left it warm to the touch.

Great Value
I've had this a month and I'm very happy so far. The lack of vibration makes me comfortable using it for long-term storage (the compressor vibration from traditional refrigerators may have a negative impact on wines over time). It's a really nice value. One warning -- when I first started stocking it, it would cool down lower than it should have, to below 50 degrees, even when it was on its lowest setting. Now that it's full of bottles though, it seems to be holding steady in the mid-50's, which is where I want it.
