Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Quiet for a compressor cooler
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.
Pro Easy to fit under countertops or bar tops
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.
Pro Wine is protected from UV light
This cooler's glass is a dual-pane tinted glass that doesn’t let UV light through.
Pro Uses premium materials
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.
Pro Bottles won't get scratched by shelves
This unit's shelves are wooden, so the bottle will not get scratched, as it would happen with metal shelves.
Pro Quieter and more eco than compressor cooling
The unit uses a thermoelectric cooling system which is quieter and more eco friendly compared to compressor-based systems.
Pro Stores equal amount of red and white wines
The majority of dual zone wine coolers can store less white wines instead of red wines. This isn’t the case with this wine cooler as it can equally store 16 bottles in each cooling zone.
Cons
Con Not easy to move around
At 104 pounds, you will definitely need another person to help you move it around or set it up.
Con May vibrate slightly
Some users have reported slight vibrations when the compressor is working.
Con Fans need cleaning every once in a while
There are air filters installed on the fans that you have to clean once every couple of months so the fans don’t get blocked. Generally, it’s easy to do if you can access the back of the cooler.
Con Not great for large parkling wine bottles
It has trouble storing large sparkling wine bottles, but it's worth noting it wasn’t designed for sparkling wines in the first place.
Con Thermoelectric cooling has some limitations
This cooler uses thermoelectric cooling, which is ambient temperature sensitive and will work best between 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit. If it’s lower or higher, the unit will struggle in maintaining the desired temperatures. The unit can maintain temperatures between 46 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit which is enough for red and white wines, but not ideal for sparkling wines that need temperatures as low as 40 degrees.
