Holds 24 bottles
The dual zone is great, does hold 24 bottles if they are your standard bottles. if its a little wide bottom on the wine bottle it does take up two spaces. But that is very rare for myself. Overall its been a great product. Easy to set temps and keep them locked in.

After much research, I found the perfect chiller.
This is a vast upgrade from my old, noisy 12-bottle, single zone chiller. Our household enjoys both white and red wines, but we don’t want our reds at white wine temperatures. Here’s a few comments that my help you decide on this chiller. BOTTLES: Lots of confusion in the market place. Imation correctly says it holds 24 “standard” bottles. True. That’s referring to Bordeaux-sized 2-7/8” diameter bottles. Some Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel wines come in 3-3/8” diameter bottles. I have found that I can pack this chiller with both sizes of bottles by placing larger bottles cork-first onto the racks in the bottom zone of the chiller. The larger bottles can fit like this on only the top rack of the top zone of the chiller. If you keep small “splits” of wine, these can be placed two to a slot if they are placed in with their necks overlapping. TEMPERATURE: This unit reached operational temp within 1-1/2 hours. Please note the top zone gets to a lower, white wine drinking temperature. The bottom zone is perfect for red wine drinking temperatures. However, the bottom zone is also suitable for white wine storage. So store your extra whites (if you have more than 8 at one time) in the bottom and move them to the top as you drink the chilled ones. SIZE: I measured this unit as 17” wide, 20-1/2” deep, and 29-3/8” tall from the floor to the top of the front door hinge which sticks up. If you have a tight space to the rear of the unit, the height of the chiller is 28-1/2”. Also, when you open the doors fully, you’ll need 36-1/2” from rear to opened door edge. That’s just normal space accommodations. NOISE: The two fans are half as loud together as my old single-fan/single-zone chiller. In a quiet room you’ll hear them, but not when there’s any activity, conversation, or environmental noises. This is much quieter than my home refrigerator, for example. APPEARANCE: This has an elegant “blacked-out” appearance, no protruding handles, and features a mirrored glass treatment. The doors open easily from subtle recessed pocket handles. The internal lights are for reading labels, not for showing off your wine collection. The lights automatically turn off in 10 minutes. This unit was well-packed and arrived in perfect condition via UPS from Amazon. COMMENT: I wish the temperature LEDs turned off or dimmed. These don’t need to be on all the time and they are bright. I’ve taken black paper and masked them. Problem solved. Not something to drop a star over in my rating, though. The wine chiller industry needs to recognize that Pinot Noir-sized bottles are commonly used and accommodate these products in their chiller designs. Maybe Imation can make a great product even better and update this design and beat others to the market. Also, more chillers need to get efficient and meet California standards so their are more options in the marketplace.

Great Customer Service
***Update, after this review I was promptly contacted by the seller. Tom was amazing on the phone and promptly sent me a brand new fridge. The new fridge is working great and would recommend! When we first purchased this unit we were very happy with the product. It was quiet, looked good, and kept our wine at the right temperature. However after a few months the unit stopped working. The bottom section does not stay cold. We have it set to 54 however the read out states 69 but when you place your hand inside it is barely cool. I have followed all the specifications of the unit (out of direct sunlight, 6 inches from walls, etc.). I have tried contacting the company multiple times to get this fixed but have heard no response by email. When I call the phone number listed, they are friendly but refer me back to sending an email which does not get responded to. Buy at your own risk.

Looks great, great value
Silent, rock solid steady temp control. Tinted glass keeps sunlight/light away from the wine. Great economical addition for any wine lover.

excellent wine cooler
although this is a lot more money than the basic wine cooler, it is a nice presentation with wooden shelves. holds 750ml skinny bottles 4 to shelf if the bottles are wider you have to remove a shelf to fit

Works Very Well
This solid state wine cooler was able to reach temperature within eighteen hours and consistently maintain 54 for the whites and 60 for the reds. One big plus for this unit over the one it replaces is that based on one power outage it retains the thermostat settings. My previous unit if the power went off the unit reset its temperature to 62. Hopefully I will get a few years or more of use out of this unit as my experience with solid state coolers is there life is much more limited than units with compressors.

Does what it says....and looks great
This fridge both looks great and functions prefect. When I tested both compartments the temperature was true within 1-2 degrees. The light functions nicely but isn't too helpful in identifying bottles. All in all, does the job and I love the price. Recommend for sure.

Very quiet, cools to around the set temperature
I seem to be the first reviewer of this item (24 bottle dual-zone). It arrived yesterday. The unit is light, easy to move around (when empty). Plug it in, it starts up (no power switch that I could find). The instructions are minimal, but clear. The unit is very quiet indeed - only the hum of 2 fans (one for each zone) while it is cooling. I put 7 bottles in the top section (so, almost full) and put an accurate digital thermometer in there with them. I added 11 bottles to the bottom (a bit more than half full). As expected, at startup the temps of both sections showed pretty much room temperature (around 70F). The LED lights are easy to operate, tough a tad dim. They turn off automatically after 10 minutes. It's easy to choose between F & C display. Setting the temps is easy. I set the top section at 50F, and the bottom at 60F. All bottles were at ambient temperature when I put them in, so the thermoelectric coolers had a bit of work to do. I monitored the temps for a couple of hours, and they didn't do much. Left them overnight, and in the morning the LEDs showed 50 & 60 - exactly where I had set them. At that point, the unit was completely silent (no fans running, because it wasn't actively cooling). BUT, the thermometer inside the top section showed 52.2F. So, to try to get the "real" temp down to 50F, I changed the set temp for the top section to 48F. However, after I set it, the fan kicked in (as expected) and the LED showed me that the actual temp was 52 (the same as shown by my digital thermometer). So I surmise that the displayed temp isn't refreshed all the time, and when I changed the temp setting, it forced a refresh, causing the LED to display the correct temperature (52F). Still guessing -- perhaps if I had left it alone, then when the real temp rose to (say) 53 degrees it would have triggered the system to (i) display the correct temp (53 instead of 50) and (ii) kicked the cooler on, to get the temp back down to 50. Anyway, so far, so good. Obviously, I can't comment on reliability, but if anything happens I will update this review. Also, I live in SoCal, so when the hotter weather returns, I am a bit concerned that the unit won't cope well (I have read a few things indicating that thermoelectric coolers can't do much better that 20 degrees below ambient - which is pretty much what my top section is set for at the moment).

I love this product...
Love it! Wish it was 32 bottles plus champagne but I am happy!

It is exactly as picture and marked. One uE for one week, hope quality will be good too
Beatiful Wine Cooler, with separate (dual zone) zones for white and red wines. Just the right size for an ocasional wine drinker. The cooler is beatifully finished and for that price it is an incrediable buy.
