We love our EdgeStar wine fridge; wanted to express my opinion on the quietness of the compressor, it is quiet, you can hear it kick on if you’re really listening but it’s not loud or annoying and it’s only for 30 seconds at the most. This is dual zone, if you are interested in storing reds on the top, this is specifically for whites, the bottom portion can be temp set low or high enough for reds and or whites. So you can set the temp low enough to be all for white wines but not all for reds. Hope that makes sense. The very bottom tray is just an extra tray which is where I add extra reds and my champagne. The width is really made for the standard size wine bottles, champagne fits on the very bottom row. Great purchase, great price. Please allow the fridge to set unplugged for at lest two full days before plugging, per the directions. Cheers!🍷
In theory this could hold 46 bottles but since bottles vary in shape, 35-40 is a realistic expectation. The two zone capability works fine. Actually I put beer bottles in the top set to 40 degrees and the wine in the bottom at 54 degrees and am satisfied with the results. Noise is not a issue to even when it turns on the cooler I only hear it if I focus on the noise.
Fridge looks nice and seems to be working fine. I had none of the shipping damage or DOA problems I have seen in other reviews. Seems to be holding temperature on top and bottom sections.
Funny thing about these wine coolers in this price range at least. They are always overstating the number of bottles that fit in there. Kind of like how many people can fit in a volkswagon,... anecdotal. You could stuff it up to 46 I suppose but it would be a trick to use it comfortably. You lose a couple of bottle spots with the temperature control panel which is unfortunately designed. Also, most bottles scrape on the rack above it. But still, works fine for me.
fits well, works perfect.
Just received- easy install for under the counter- it would be helpful if the instructions included loading plans for various sizes of wine bottles- the method of figure it out on your own was less helpful. Temperature control in wonderful for both zones- am sure we will like this- This is my first use of a wine cooler so as a newbie at the start- seems great. If you purchase one of these- register it or go to the EdgeStar website and view the excellent setup instruction videos which show how to change the door and to remove and install the activated charcoal filter. That was very helpful. Jerry

Description
Keep both your red and white wine at the optimum temperature with the EdgeStar 46 Bottle Built-In Dual Zone Wind Cooler (CWR461DZ). This wine cooler can hold up to 46 standard 750 ml wine bottles, which is great for storage, entertaining guests, or throwing parties. The stainless steel-trimmed, tinted, dual paned glass door allows you to view your wines and pick one out without opening the door, allowing you to be energy efficient as you keep all of the cold air inside of the cooler, and it helps keep the temperature of your wine from fluctuating which can affect the flavor. With a great presentation, the shelving, flat faced stainless steel handle, and blue LED light offer an excellent look for storing and showing off your growing wine collection in style and convenience. This premium wine refrigerator features two (2) separate, digitally controlled zones designed specifically to keep red and white wines at optimum temperatures. The upper zone holds 16 bottles of white wine at a temperature range between 41-54 degrees F, while the lower zone stores 30 bottles of red wine between 54-64 degrees F. Stainless steel-trimmed wood shelves hold 8 bottles per shelf in a staggered reverse racked manner and a bottom display rack lets you further show off your favorite bottles in a unique fashion. This unit is also rubber brushed to dampen vibrations that disturb the wine and can adversely affect the flavor over time, and to reduce the noise produced by the cooler, making it soft on both your wine and your ears. In addition, this wine cooler is great for multiple applications as it can be used as either a built in, or freestanding unit. Perfect for amateur and professional collectors alike, this wine cooler will make a perfect addition to your wine cellar, kitchen, or anywhere you keep your collection. Please note this wine cooler is designed to fit standard sized Bordeaux bottles. External Dimensions (with handle): 33 1/2" H x 23 1/2" W x 24 1/2" D
Works as advertised. Best price on the market, the temperature is consistent, however I did not manage to get 46 bottles to fit (it was a little tight for some of the reds). Overall this is a great purchase, looks fantastic in my kitchen, and is quiet enough to be unnoticeable nearly 100% of the time.
I was shopping for quite awhile looking for the right cooler. We had a very restrictive area and this cooler fits well. After looking at several reviews of the EdgeStar vs. others, I narrowed my choice to the EdgeStar and one other brand. Price difference of a few hundred dollars led me to the EdgeStar. Reviews were similar. I could have saved a few hundred from what I paid for the EdgeStar on other brands I researched, but reviews were horrible. I have had it for about a month now, and so far, so good.
The only negative is that the spacing of the shelves is tight and I am not sure how you really can get 46 bottles inside, but I have not really spent a lot of time trying to focus on it. Maybe after the holidays I will figure it out.
Was given the wine cooler as a home warming gift from parents in july 2013. No problems or complaints with unit, ran quietly, maintained consistent temperature. Fast forward to January 2015 and unit stops cooling. Can hear compressor running with frequent clicks, so thinking something is obviously wrong, and unplugged the unit. Called customer service the next morning to tell them the problem and they believe that it is the relay. Ordered a new relay (on a Thursday) for $29 +$10 fee and part arrived the next Wednesday. Looked up a video from edgestar on replacing the relay (the compressor system is similar or same as another unit that they had a tutorial on replacing the relay for). Using only a flathead screwdriver to pop the clip holding the plastic housing/cover, I replaced the relay (surprisingly simple process) and now the unit is running fine again.
Can see an issue if you don't notice the unit not cooling for a while and the broken relay burns out the compressor. Which would, understandably, be more expensive to replace. However, I'm thankful that my wife likes her wine and noticed same day that it stopped working and we were able to get it unplugged before further damage was caused.
Reading other reviews, both here and elsewhere on the web, I understand that this company has had issues with its customer service and product reliability, but I would like to point out that this was not my experience. I'm happy to say that they answered the phone when I called, were quick to get the part ordered for me and it shipped the next day, as well as fixed my problem.
Further information about the unit:
It will hold only a couple of the larger wine bottles on the top rack, and need to have your more regular sized bottles for the remaining racks. The dual temp ranges are accurate, the doors are reversible in both handle and hinge, and the compressor is quiet. Our unit is installed under cabinet with 1/2 to 3/4" space around the edges and has no issue holding temperature.
