I’ve had this wine cooler for about one month. It’s built very solid with very nice front doors & shelves. I gave it 4 stars because I think it is kind of loud. I can hear the fan kick on about every minute and then the compressor every 30min or so. I actually purchased some insulation to place around it inside the cabinet it’s installed in, and that dampened the noise a lot and made me happy. It is installed in my bedroom wet bar, so I could be particularly picky about the noise. It seems to run a consistent 2 degrees warmer than the set point, but that’s easy to fix by just setting it 2deg colder than your desired temp. I run the white wine at 48 & red wine side at 60 and it does a great job managing that temp difference between the two sides. The drawers are very nice and slide so easy. I thought it was cool the cooler has several different LED colors you can change for the lighting. Customer service is phenomenal! One of my handles was 1/16” shorter than the other, and Beverage Factory was quick to ship me a new handle with no questions asked. Very easy to work with.

So I love dual double door because my husband mainly drinks reds and I’m a huge fan of champagne. This fridge offers the best of both worlds In addition, I was going to get the one door dual zone and I decided against it because of the look. Thank goodness I picked this one because I can remove shelves on one side to fit more champagne in it without sacrificing too much. At first it was noisy but then when I put wine and champagne in, it’s totally fine.

Decent but too loud for my tastes I would not recommend this product.

Shelving works well. Overall its a pretty good unit but for my tastes the fan noise and compressor are too loud. I have the unit over half full and it cycles every 30 minutes or so for a few minutes. Whites are at 45 and Reds are at 60. In comparison I have a Whirlpool Gold larger refrigerator 10ft away that is nearly silent. This cooler is installed in a kitchen island. Would be nice if these units were designed with acoustics in mind. Its the loudest appliance in my kitchen... can hear it over the dishwasher. Seems like everybody competing in this market is missing the mark.

Unit was securely packed, strapped to a pallet and arrived without any damage to packing box or unit. Having two separately controlled temperature compartments is fantastic beating hands down coolers with one compartment for two temperatures. Choice of curved or straight handles that were included enabled matching the cooler\'s look to existing appliances. Definitely recommend this company and product.

Beautiful Wine Cooler Misses the Mark I would not recommend this product.

Let me begin by saying Beverage Factory's customer service was great. Although it's critical you follow their procedures and processes to a key, they're fairly helpful.

The first unit I received from them had doors that were not the same height. It was completely distracting and took away from the look. After sending pictures and talking to customer service, they sent me out a new unit which I exchanged with the old one when I received same.

The delivery company that brought the second unit gave me a bit of hard time about bringing it into my house as they said this delivery was just a "drop" and didn't require them to bring it in. That being said, I went outside and cut the unit from the pallet and they agreed to bring it in.

The second unit's doors were better (albeit not perfect), but now the pilot holes for the handles that install on the doors were off. Basically one handle is slightly higher than the other. At this point, however, I agreed to keep the unit in exchange for a small credit to my account. I really just didn't want to keep sending units back to the company until they sent me a perfect unit. Perhaps it's not an exact science, but for these kinds of prices, it should at least come extremely close.

I've not installed the unit in my island yet (it's still being built), but my overall impression of its operation is not great. I should have taken to heart what the prior reviewer posted with respect to some of the issues because I too have noticed them.

First, the unit is loud. No question about it. It's louder than my refrigerator. It's probably on par with a standard dishwasher. I even made a recording of the volume and sent it to Beverage Factory to see if it's normal and they said it was. Go figure. I probably would have returned it had I not been tired of sending units back. I've owned a 16-bottle Haier free-standing unit for over 10 years and it sounds like a whisper compared to the jet engine of the Allavino.

Second, it constantly turns on and off. The insulation seems solid so I'm unsure how it loses temperature so quickly, but it does. It helped when I added more wine to the unit, but it still cycles often. I believe it cycled about 6 times an hour when it was not full and about 3 - 4 times when stocked. The good news, if there is any, is that it doesn't stay on for too long. Maybe just a minute or two.

Third, the temperature fluctuates. Rarely do both the left and right side of the unit share the same temperature even though they're set to do so. With today's technology I'm just baffled that this isn't more accurate. Like the other poster mentioned, there's often a 3 - 5 degree difference between set temperature and actual.

Fourth, the blue light is cool, but kind of a waste. The blue light comes from the top inside of the unit. There's not enough distance between the top of the unit and the uppermost rack thus, it's really only shining on the top wine bottles. Kind of silly.

Fifth, the racks really don't open far enough. Not only do you need to make sure the doors are completely open or risk hitting the glass, the racks don't have enough give to come out far enough. Also, some of my standard bottles of Chardonnay don't fit comfortably. Starmont, a fairly popular offering, is just too wide.

On a plus note, the unit is beautiful and stately. It's definitely a handsome appliance. And my wine does come out chilled where it needs to be. Perhaps it will be quieter when installed in my island, but as it stands, I couldn't recommend its purchase. Maybe I'm nieve in thinking I didn't have to spend $2,500 for a wine cooler to give me answers to the issues above or maybe I just got a bad unit. Time will tell.

The wine cooler arrived when it was expected, with easy directions to set it up. It is a very attractive addition to my home. I found that the handles arrived wth dents. I called the company and not only were the new handles shipped to me, they rebated my account with $50.00 for my "inconvenience." Great public relations. I would not hesitate to use this company again.

Recently received my new wine cooler and it's everything I expected and more. I was going to remodel my kitchen and decided a wine cooler was a must. I was looking for something that could store both my red and white wine collection and this one had the most attractive look, handle bar choice and just the right bottle count!

When I received the cooler, it was even prettier in person. The stainless steel was sleek and the blue led lights just popped. The handle was really easy to install, I did it myself! My bottles fit perfectly, even though my collection has all different sized bottles.

Customer service was top notch when it came to my delivery. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

We bought this wine fridge a few months back and we have been very happy with it. It looks great in our kitchen and we get a lot of interest in it, so much so that I came back to Beverage Factory to send a link to one of my friends. We really needed a dual zone because I drink red wines and my wife drinks white, and I figure having two separate sections makes more sense. The shelves pull out a lot more than our old fridge, which is a big advantage too. Overall, we are very pleased with our purchase and would definitely buy this fridge again.

I had been looking for a dual zone wine cooler when I came across this unit. It is perfect for my space and the amount of bottles I needed to store. I especially like having the two different sides, one for white and one for red. It has kept the temperature exactly where I want to be! Not only does it work great it looks attractive in my kitchen. I am more than happy with my decision.

Good quality unit I recommend this product.

This is a rare wine cooler that offers a true dual zone system. Unlike other dual zone units where the temperatures fluctuate this unit provides accurate temperature readings. At the same time there are some shelves that can accept larger type bottles without having to remove shelves. A lot easier to use which makes me happy

Best bang for the buck I recommend this product.

I was looking for something that would do equal amounts of red and white wine at different temperatures, but could also be used for red only and this unit was perfect. Most of the dual zone units I found had a larger storage area for red than they do for white and had to have a minimum temperature difference between the zones, but this one does not.

It was a little shorter than the one I got rid of, but I was able to adjust the feet up to make up for the difference in height. Overall, I am very pleased with the look and performance.

Finally a wine cooler that will fit all the bottles I have. With my old wine cooler I had to take shelves out to make them fit. With this one the racks are already fitted to take different sized bottles. I highly recommend this unit.

I ordered this unit to have the 2 zones separate completely. The double door feature allows for this. The product shipped to me in 7 days. A call was scheduled for delivery in advance. The package was good had no damages. The Flex racking as it is called is very good. It did fit larger bottles and has a curved shaped on the wood to hold my wine bottles in place. The rack is also supported by a metal base which makes it very sturdy. The shelves also slide out smoothly. The temperature does set accurately and maintains the average. It is a great value for price.
