My husband had been wanting his own private beer fridge with a glass front and an internal light for a long time, and after doing a lot of research I decided to go with this particular fridge. Mine came well packed, and without any dents or cosmetic damage from shipping (I ordered it here from amazon).
It really gets cold, and does a good chilling drinks. If you set it to continuous, it can start to freeze your drinks. I didn't realize this at first and I had a bottle of sparkling water explode into a slushy mess inside, but it was easy to clean up. It has 8 settings, the dial has 1 through 7 and continuous, and I find that setting it to a 5 or 6 is good to keep drinks cold but not too cold. The only downsides are that when it rotates on and off, it can make a little bit of noise, but it's not very loud and I don't really notice it anymore, and the shelves are a little bit flimsy. If you pack it full, the shelves start to bend and sag in the middle.
Other than that though it does a good job storing different sizes. The bottom can hold full sized champagne bottles, and the middle can store glass beer bottles, while the top can store cans. It works perfect for us, since we like to stock all three types.
Overall for the price, it does a good job. We are definitely pleased. My husband loves it!
[edit] - The fridge died on 12/1/12, just 11 months after purchase. It was making a loud snapping noise every few minutes but the compressor wouldn't turn on. Since it was within warranty, the manufacturer sent a technician who replaced the part that starts the compressor. He said these fridges are equipped with a super cheap part that will almost guaranteed break down, but it's an easy fix if you can get a repairman in the door. Once he got the part from his car it took him less than 10 minutes to have it working again and out the door. As of 5/1/13, it's still working fine.

For the most part this product works as expected and has been reliable after several months now. My one complaint it that the wire shelves are flimsy. When loaded up with bottles, they start to bow in the middle and the bottles slide forward and fall off. Works fine as long as shelves are not filled more than about two-thirds with bottles.
Update October 2012. Died after 16 months.

I needed something to fit in the old space where a trash compactor was in my kitchen. It looks very nice and sleek, better than I even expected. I am satisfied with my purchase, but wish it were a bit quieter and kept the drinks a bit colder. That being said, I am now used to it's "hum" and the kids and husband find the temp just fine. It is great for juice boxes, cans or wine bottles... the interior allows for a flexible arrangement. We even have oranges in there now. So overall, 4 stars as a second drinks fridge.
