Cons

Single Temperature Zone:
This model has only one cooling zone, meaning red and white wines must share the same set temperature rather than having separately optimised zones.

No Smart or Connectivity Features:
Lacks Wi-Fi, app control, or remote monitoring found in some more expensive modern wine coolers.

Not Energy Star Rated:
Energy efficiency is average rather than best-in-class, so running costs may be higher than newer high-efficiency models.

Moderate Noise Level:
Fan-assisted cooling can produce noticeable sound (rated class C on acoustical noise), which might be perceptible in open kitchens.

Installation Considerations:
As a built-in unit, proper cut-out and professional installation may be needed to ensure optimal ventilation and operation.
