AAOBOSI 24 Bottle Wine Cooler

After recently renovating our kitchen, my wife and I prioritized finding the perfect wine fridge for her new coffee and beverage station. We explored various options and were surprised by the high prices, with some units approaching the $2000 mark, which we couldn’t justify. Fortunately, we discovered this French door fridge on Amazon.

Typically, this unit ranges around $650, but with some diligent searching, you can find deals to bring the price down. We managed to purchase it during a flash sale for about $590. It has been an amazing addition to our kitchen. The fridge operates super quietly and has a high-end appearance, reminiscent of something you’d see in a luxurious mansion.

Key features that stand out include:
– Dual Zone: Perfect for keeping wine and beverages at their optimal temperatures.
– Capacity: Holds 19 wine bottles and 57 cans, which is more than sufficient for our needs.
– Design: The French doors and blue LED lights provide a sleek, modern look.
– Functionality: It includes two safety locks, ensuring that the contents remain secure.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It’s a fantastic product that combines style, functionality, and affordability. If you’re on the fence about getting this fridge, I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!

Man, if you are looking for one of these beverage center refrigerators with the ability to be built-in to a cabinet, you know the reviews are all over the board. I finally settled on this one because of the largely positive reviews and the seeming match with my needs.

We are preparing for a kitchen remodel and I am stockpiling the needed appliances and other supplies. This arrived two days ago and after waiting 24 hours (recommended by the manufacturer), I plugged in it and loaded some wine, beer, and soda. I set the temperatures on each side and put a refrigerator thermometer in to see how it did.

Some of the common complaints I heard about this unit were that it was very noisy (or at least loud) and that it didn’t get down to the advertised temperatures. I will say that my unit is not loud. It’s a noticeable background white noise, but nothing I would consider distracting, and I imagine it will be further lessened once it is installed in my cabinets rather than sitting in the middle of the floor. It ran for a bit to get to temp, but it actually got a little bit cooler than I set it to. I drank a soda from it about four hours after plugging it in and it was as cold as if I had pulled it from my main refrigerator.

The lights inside aren’t super bright, but provide some nice ambiance. The controls are logical and easy-to-use.

The lowest shelf on the wine side is only about 3/4 of the depth of the refrigerator due to there being a notch in the back for the compressor (or some other mechanical piece). The manual says you can still put three full-sized bottles there, but it didn’t work with the bottles I tried. Overall the wine shelves are a bit tight, but you can fit three on each shelf if they are the right size and shape.

The soda shelves seem to easily hold three standard 12-ounce cans in the very front of the shelf, but once you go back a bit further it gets a bit tighter due to the guides that the shelves slide into. I don’t think I’ll be able to get three across in each row, so that will diminish the capacity a bit.

The handles were easy to attach, but it does require unseating the seal from the insides of the door to access the screws. It took a bit more force to remove them than I was initially comfortable with, but they pushed right back into place when I was done. The doors seems to seal very well.

The temperatures were a bit chilly when the unit arrived. I promptly unboxed it and pulled the emblems off the front of each door. This is a very nice looking unit and I thought those maybe cheapened it a bit. The pulled off with a bit of effort. I’m not sure if it would have been easier if it had been colder of if I had used a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive. Either way, they came off, and I think it’s an improvement.

The packing was very substantial on this, but not wasteful. And the delivery crew seemed very careful when they placed it on my porch.

I mentioned at the beginning that the search for these units that can be installed in a cabinet can be overwhelming and the costs of these is several times what it is for a standalone unit. I did consider buying a standalone unit and just replacing it when it went out, but that seemed wasteful of materials even if it did save me money for the foreseeable future.

Obviously I’ve only had it for a couple of days, but I’m very pleased so far and am hopeful that it will prove to be reliable for years to come.
