28 refrigerator — would be the best buy 28 bottle wine refrigerator?
I’m planning to invest in a wine bottle 28 refrigerator model for my weekend home and I’m looking for something not too expensive, but still good — basically a best buy model. Any experiences?

The best wine refrigerator depends on your needs. Consider factors such as the following:
How many temperature zones does the wine refrigerator have?
Multiple zones can be useful for reds vs whites and also aging concerns.
What cooling mechanism does the wine refrigerator use?
Compressors are more efficient but introduce vibration (bad for noice and unsettles wine). Thermoelectric have no vibratgion and are more compact but are more expensive and have limited capacity.
What form of lighting does the wine refrigerator use?
LEDs are prefered as they give off less heat.
What kind of door glass does the wine refrigerator have?
Plain, tempered, tinted, insulated, thermopane, mirrored, etc.
There are other aesthetic considerations: Finish (steel, stainless steel, platinum, wood), door trim (stainless, platinum, graphite, etc).
These wine refrigerators have 28-bottle capacity:
Edgestar Deluxe 28 Bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator
Vinotemp VT-28TEDS 28 Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cooler
Whynter WC28S SNO 28 Bottle Wine Cooler, Platinum with Lock
These are all thermoelectric units. The Edgestar 28 has dual temperature zones and supports different bottle sizes. The Vinotemp lacks auto defrost.
