UPDATE: When the weather warmed up last week and we had not turned on the air in the house yet, the upper level did not cool to the temperature it was set at. I have it set at 45 and it wouldn't cool below 50. We turned on the air the next day and it cooled right off. It should not be kept in a warm room or it will not cool properly. However it has held the temperature since I got it except that one day the house was warmer than normal and once the house cooled off, it worked great again. I still love it!
UPDATE #2: The fan started making a horrible noise just under a year after I bought it. I did the troubleshooting and nothing worked. I finally thought maybe a "hard restart" would work as a last resort before I contacted Avalon Bay for a replacement since I was still under warranty. I removed the wine and unplugged it for 24 hours. I plugged it back in and it has ran quietly ever since. That was about 5 months ago. I still love it and it is still cooling properly.
First off, setup is a breeze. Just a few steps to install the racks and door handle and you're good to go. The LED temperature display is very handy at showing the temperature level. And adjusting that temperature is as easy as selecting up and down arrows. So overall use is simple and intuitive.
I have this unit running in my downstairs daylight basement, so noise it not a concern at all. However, when it does run (which is minimal) it's not loud at all, sure you can hear it, but it's just a slight hum. But that's when it's running at all. I have to say this unit does an amazing job at keeping and holding its pre-set temperature for a long time. I have both zones set to 55 degrees and I can't remember the last time I actually heard the unit kick on, yet the temperature is maintaining properly. I've tested bottles coming straight out of the fridge, and they range within +/- 1.5 degrees of the desired temperature. The last bottle I opened straight out of the fridge, which was being stored on the bottom rack of the upper section came out at 56.1 degrees. That's completely fine by me. Maybe this unit would have to work harder in a warmer environment such as a kitchen in a major living area, but being in our basement, which is typically 5-10 degrees cooler than the upper living area of our house, doesn't tax this unit much at all. When we spend a lot of time downstairs we will turn on the fireplace and warm it up, but again the unit still doesn't need to run much to hold its temperature.
As for bottle room, it can be a bit tricky especially for Pino bottles with the larger diameters. I was able to get 3 Pino bottles in the very bottom shelf, but I had to alternate their direction, with the middle bottle pointing to the back of the fridge. May not be aesthetically pleasing, but it works and I'm happy with it. Normal wine bottles fit in this unit just fine. It's cramped and inserting or pulling out a bottle will rub against the rack above it, but I ok with that as I wanted a compact unit, and this one wastes no space!
Although I'm not using the dual zone for different temperatures, I did test that during the first week of ownership and the dual zone did work, maintaining a 5 degree colder zone at the top than the bottom. So if you're looking for dual zone it should work for you.
Overall I'm extremely satisfied with this unit. It lets me store my most precious wines without the worry of poor aging and the worry they will go bad. The unit is quiet, does an outstanding job of holding its temperature and not having to work hard to maintain it. I didn't want to break the bank, but wanted to put a little money into my wine investment and this unit fit that perfectly. So far 2 months of ownership and no complaints.
