This is perfect for a standard kitchen where one does not want or need to give up the space for the commonly available 18+ bottle coolers. I love how it's streamlined and narrow (only 6 inches wide). It frees-up refrigerator space, keeps 7 bottles cool and adds a modern touch to the newly-remodeled kitchen. I almost made the mistake of buying a similar one from a big box store only to research it (as I always do) and find out it wasn't designed to be recessed under a counter top or be placed between cabinets. This one is designed to be recessed under a countertop and be installed in-between cabinets. It is not intended to be placed "inside" a cabinet.
This was a little pricey, but I scoured the internet and found no other SLIM coolers designed to be recessed into a row of cabinets (it will fit right under a standard-height counter top and has adjustable height feet to fine tune the fit). It works great and has a cool looking blue LED which you can keep on all the time or turn it off. It has adjustable temperature settings as well. It doesn't run frequently and when it does, you can barely hear it. It requires a standard 120VAC receptacle to be installed behind the unit (15 amp if dedicated or 20 amp if part of the kitchen circuit). The depth leaves plenty of room for the plug and cord behind the unit. Again, this is intended to be recessed into a row of cabinets - NOT installed INSIDE a cabinet. Many similar looking units available in big-box stores are only designed to be free-standing and not be incorporated into the row of cabinets. This model has a front-facing ventilation grill and fan (like a full-size refrigerator) which enables it to be sandwiched between cabinets. If you put the effort into installing it properly, the slight space on either side of the unit will not be noticeable as the door is slightly wider. It looks perfectly built-in to our cabinets. The door is also reversible, if needed.
NOTE: I purchased this item on Amazon for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are not well written or give poor reviews based on not reading directions or failing to read the product details prior to purchasing. Writing valuable reviews helps pay it forward.
