All were coincidentally rebranded units manufactured by Alpicool, but they lacked features I increasingly longed for: dual-temperature storage zones, transport wheels, removable wire racks, drain hole, and remote app control.

With no section divider (like the Foho), what does that mean in regards to temperature control, storage space, and flexibility? Here are my impressions.
