Firstly the item was double boxed and undamaged as it was shipped with UPS. Switched on, set the temperature and cooled down to the set temperature after a few hours - actually I set it to 46° and my thermometer showed 45.8° - so no problem here. Then I put thermometers on the top and bottom of the cooler and set the temperature at 51°. After a few hours I recorded 57° on the top shelf (where I keep red wines) and 52° on the bottom shelf for white wines. Personally, I think the performance is just great and it seems to be pretty consistent too. It makes very little noise and works in a warm room (about 80°). I have 33 bottles now and I could probably cram 2 more on the lower shelves. Obviously the 35 bottle capacity is based on 'regular' wine bottles - thicker wine/champagne bottles reduce capacity accordingly, but I don't mind their advertised capacity. So overall I'm very happy with the purchase. at this moment. As long as performance is stable (although I have no reason to believe it isn't right now), I'll leave it at a 5-star rating. If this changes in the future I will come back here and update the review accordingly. Update: Over a year later, still works great.
