Kalamera KRC-46DZB-TGD vs Allavino VSWR172-2SSRN

Although the wine cooler uses a compressor which tends to be noisy, this isn’t the case with this wine cooler. It’s very quiet and can hardly be heard, especially when it’s built in.

Most large wine coolers are tall, which can be difficult to find space for. This unit is wider, not taller, which makes it easier to fit under countertops and bar tops where horizontal space is less of an issue.

This cooler's glass is a dual-pane tinted glass that doesn’t let UV light through.

The cabinet is made from stainless steel, while the shelving is made from beech wood. Wooden shelves don’t scratch the bottles as much as metal shelves and are more appealing to the eye.

It comes with both a curved and a towel bar handle, so you can customize the unit to best suit your preferences.

The unit can hold up to 172 bottles. This should be enough even for serious wine collectors. Of course, the capacity may vary because some of the shelves allow you to store bigger bottles like champagne or oddly shaped wine bottles.

The two independent-controlled cooling zones can be manually controlled. Alternatively, you can simply input the type of wine stored in the cooler and it will automatically adjust the temperatures in each zone to the most ideal ones.

The sturdy metal shelves are thin enough to get the maximum available storage space, yet strong enough to support the weight of many wine bottles. The shelves are designed in such a way that they can comfortably hold different shapes and sizes of bottles. They glide in and out smoothly using the ball-bearing tracks and feature stainless steel fronts and wooden slats for a sleek presentation.
