Ok, so I picked this up a few days ago at my dealer (who had this unit for sale for 50% off) and I must admit, this unit is working quite well. Now, I chose this unit based on several factors:

1) Capacity of Wine
2) Open Wine Storage
3) Noise

This unit can accommodate up to 29 bottles (5 bottles per rack). The racks have a little 'problems with scrolling, but it's no biggie if you like looking at the individual wines (which is my preference). The lower basket can be used for bottles of Champagne or large as you can keep the bottles open at the bottom (they are tilted at an angle) which is great so you do not have to take up room in the kitchen fridge. Another thing I like about this unit is very quiet. When you hear the compressor starts up, it is only audible for about 3 to 5 seconds before subsiding. If you're hosting a party or if you have any audible noise in the background, you will not be heard.

The same unit needs about an inch and a half clearing space between each of its sides so that heat can escape properly (which prevents overheating). The rear of the unit needs about two inches as well and it also needs about two inches of space off if you were to keep in a closet. So far I have installed in my living room with two inches of space all around and clearing the heat was not a problem.

Now, this unit really does not have dual climate zones for red or white wines. Typically, the bottom of the device is cold, so you should put down the white wine, red wine while staying at the top. I currently have this unit set at 60 degrees and has had problems keeping the wine chilled. Time will tell to see how long this unit lasts. As for the look to go, this unit has a nice look, stainless steel frame and everything is so black that gives it a substantial, yet elegant.
