Description
This 12-bottle unit from Super Deal is a very reasonably priced wine-cooling fridge.
The unit is also 25′′ tall, similar to the Ivation 12-bottle unit. The key difference and disadvantage of the Super Deal unit is its temperature range, with it only being able to control temperatures between 50 and 64°F, whereas the Ivation 12-bottle unit can control temperatures between 46o – 64oF… So if you like chilled wine, the Ivation may be a better option for you.
However, the price difference between these two 25-inch units is $50.
The Super Deal unit has a digital temperature control located at the top of the unit, as well as double-paned glass with an anti-UV protection layer, which is ideal for storing darker wines such as red wine in here, as it helps minimize the effects of light exposure.
This cooler also has slide-out chrome shelving, which is great for cleaning and rearranging the cabinet.
This unit is ideal for someone looking for a low-cost 25′′H cooler that can chill up to 12 bottles of wine simultaneously in a single zone.
As previously stated, it has a temperature range of 50°F to 64°F, which is adequate given the price.

Description
This 12-bottle cooler by Ivation is the second product on the list for good reason, given the number of positive reviews their products have received.
The unit is also 25′′ tall, making it much taller than the 8-bottle version.
It’s important to note that this cooler works best when the temperature in the room is around 72oF.
It has a digital control panel with an LCD display, soft interior lighting that can be turned on and off, a dual-pane, smoked glass door to keep light out of the wine, and a tight seal to help maintain internal temperature and humidity.
This cooler also has slide-out chrome shelving, which is great for cleaning and rearranging the cabinet.
This unit is ideal for someone looking for a 25′′H wine cooler that can chill up to 12 bottles of wine simultaneously in a single zone. It would be ideal for use as an under-counter/built-in refrigerator in anyone’s kitchen, home bar, dining area, or entertainment zone.

Nutrichef Thermoelectric 12 Bottle Wine Refrigerator – 25.0″H
Technical Specs
- Dimensions: 9.9″ x 19.7″ x 25″
- Weight: 28.2lbs
- Temperature range: 50º – 64ºF
- Package includes: 1 x Thermoelectric Fridge, 1 x Instruction
- Warranty: N/A
General Specs
- 12 bottle wine chiller (750ml bottles)
- Temperature control & digital display
- Reinforced glass door with an air-tight seal
- In-built circulation & ventilation fan
- LED interior lighting
- Ultra-quiet operation
Description
Nutrichef designed this 12-bottle thermoelectric wine cooler.
It stands 25 inches tall and has a reinforced glass door with an airtight seal to keep the internal temperature cool.
Furthermore, because this is a thermoelectric unit with no internally moving compressor parts, it is extremely quiet in operation.
One minor disadvantage of this unit is that it does not achieve the same level of cooling temperatures as other units, only being able to chill down to 50°F with a maximum temperature of 66°F.
As a result, if you want to chill white wine to a very low temperature, we recommend looking into another 12-bottle unit. The Ivation 12 Bottle Wine Fridge, for example, can chill to around 46°.
Overall, it’s not a bad unit, though there may be alternatives that are more appealing in terms of both features and price.

Description
The KoldFront TWR187ESS 18 Bottle Fridge comes with everything you need.
For starters, it has dual-zone functionality, allowing you to control the temperature in both sections. The top section can chill from 54° to 66°F (ideal for your red wine), while the bottom zone can chill from 46° to 66°F (ideal for your white wine and rose). This is ideal for anyone who wants to chill red wine/white wine and rose at the same time, because we don’t want to chill red wine at the same temperature as white wine.
The unit’s height is slightly more than 25 inches (25.33 inches to be exact).
The safety lock on this cooler is probably one of the best features in terms of safety. This means you can be confident that no one will be able to open the unit, which is especially useful if you have children, as wine bottles can be heavy.
Another attractive feature of this unit is the wooden shelving, which gives it a premium appearance. These shelves are also removable for cleaning.
Overall, we believe this unit is a fantastic built-in wine cooler with a plethora of great, useful features that will appeal to the majority of readers.

The Kalamera 18-bottle wine chiller has a single cooling zone.
It has a double tempered glass door with reversible door hinges for your convenience. The unit also has a digital LED temperature control and can cool between the temperatures of 40o and 66oF.
Furthermore, the cooler’s internal furnishings, such as the beach wood shelving (removable) and the blue LED light, give it a premium-class feel.
To top it all off, this built-in wine unit includes a security lock, ensuring the safety of your wine bottles.
If there is one drawback to this, it is that it is a single-zone unit… This means that if you set the temperature for your white wine to 40°F, your red wine will also be cooling at this temperature.
As a result, if you’re looking for a unit with dual-zone functionality and a capacity of around 18 bottles, consider the dual-zone Koldfront TWR187ESS, which also has a safety lock.
Overall, this is a good unit, but we’d recommend getting a dual-zone model like the Koldfront TWR187ESS.
