We received the Vinotemp 162 Bottle capacity Wine Cooler about 5 days ago. The unit was delivered by a private courier and they were great. Unboxing and set up was a fairly quick process. There wee about 30 zip ties needed to be cut that held each wine storage shelf in place. The unit runs quietly and appears to cool fairly quickly. I purchased because of the capacity but also because it had a lock. Unfortunately the door is rather flimsy and the lock mechanism is located. at the bottom center of the unit. It is inconvenient location and if you don't know its locked and try to open the door the door flexes and someone may easily break the door if they pull to hard as it is only secured at the bottom. The lock itself is just a Allen wrench style key opening and easily defeated. My other issue is the shelving which are metal grates. They do not pull out very far so it is difficult to get the wine at the rear of the shelf. The bottles load in width wise on the horizontal plain which looks very nice when loaded but from a practical perspective they are difficult to load and use especially if you pull wine from the rear of the shelf. The Blue LED lighting is really nice. Overall impression is it is of light weight (cheap) construction but it does look cool when loaded and so far it seems to do a good job cooling and maintaining the correct temperature for the wine.
