    Great product, but noisy if not installed built in

    Everything about the fridge looks and works great! However, we had it running standalone for a few days before the bar cabinets went in. It was so noisy I was considering returning it. When the compressor wasn't running it was almost dead silent. But with the compressor running, it was very distracting while sitting in the same room as the fridge. Once installed in the cabinets, I also put insulation around and on top of it to help with noise absorption. Now when the compressor kicks in, you can hardly hear it! The 2 zone cooling works great! Easy to access and the quality of the metal and lighting is excellent. A great buy once built in! Shipping was good but since it's a heavy item, the box was a bit damaged. Slight dings on the side of the unit not seem didn't warrant fussing about it since I got it at a really good price from BestBuy.

    Good wine fridge or a narrow space

    Quiet. Shelves slide easily. Very nice item for a narrow space.

    I like the Whyter Elite 17.

    I have purchased and returned several different brands of wine frigs, (including the Whynter Elite 17). Finally have a cooler which keeps the two zones about 10° apart for a reasonable price. It is a good size for us and runs quietly. 17 bottles is pushing it; 15 or 16 is tops.
