Good beer cooler! for drinks cooler

These devices work great. I installed two side by side and built them into the bar by flipping the door on one of them. They look like a larger cooler and a much more expensive unit. They do a great job of keeping beer and soda cold for the bar. I would recommend this device. It holds lots of drinks and keeps them as cold as you like. I've found that if you put the jars on the top shelf, be sure to leave space in the middle of all the shelves to allow the fan to circulate cold air top to bottom. I tried different boot options to find one that offered consistent airflow. I've found that if you pack the top shelf with no room for airflow, the top cans are very cold, and if you leave some air space, the bottom shelves get chilled. The cooling elements are behind the plastic at the bottom of the block and if you put the cans close together at the bottom they let the cold through much better than if you leave space between the element and the cans. In general, the devices do an excellent job of keeping out the cold. I ordered two separate units as I can adjust the temperature according to the contents. Wine can be a bit warmer than, say, beer and water, so I just fill and set the temperature to suit the contents. The units have a heavy glass door that keeps the cold out well. LED lighting adds a beautiful look when on. They are on switch and do not turn on automatically when the door is opened. You have to turn them on or off manually. So far, the devices have worked flawlessly and are quite quiet. They were well packed in very thick boxes and arrived undamaged. They seem to be of good quality and we'll see how they hold up. The doors change direction very easily and the handles are heavy and of high quality. I have a lot of extras on these coolers. I find it better to have two units as you can control the temperature better. When installed in a closet, they look like one large unit. Can't beat the price for what you get. I will update if there are any problems. Very nice so far!
