Con
Not great for large parkling wine bottles
It has trouble storing large sparkling wine bottles, but it's worth noting it wasn’t designed for sparkling wines in the first place.

Stores equal amount of red and white wines
The majority of dual zone wine coolers can store less white wines instead of red wines. This isn’t the case with this wine cooler as it can equally store 16 bottles in each cooling zone.

Top
Con
Thermoelectric cooling has some limitations
This cooler uses thermoelectric cooling, which is ambient temperature sensitive and will work best between 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit. If it’s lower or higher, the unit will struggle in maintaining the desired temperatures. The unit can maintain temperatures between 46 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit which is enough for red and white wines, but not ideal for sparkling wines that need temperatures as low as 40 degrees.

Lets you store opened bottles
This cooler can hold a total of 12 bottles of wine, certainly enough for casual wine drinkers or for those who are just starting their wine collection. Eight of the bottles are stored horizontally while 4 can be placed vertically. This allows unfinished bottles to be placed back in the fridge for storage - convenient if you don’t want to finish the bottle in one evening.
