EdgeStar CWBV14246 48 Inch Wide, 46 Bottle 142 Can Built-In
This Edgestar Wine Cooler and beverage center consists of two of EdgeStar’s most popular appliances – a 46 bottle wine cooler and a 142 can beverage refrigerator.
We Like:
- Front ventilation allows for flush built-in or free-standing installation. At only 47 inches wide, this model is perfect for any room or office. (H = 33.5, D = 22.5 inches)
- 3 temperature zones in all. Beverage cooler has a range of 38 to 50 °F while the wine cooler can be set between 41 and 65 °F. (2 zones for red and white wine)
- Stainless steel finish looks great. Premium LED interior lights. Touch Temperature controls
- Security lock. Carbon filter protects wine from unpleasant odors and debris.
- Tinted glass doors for UV ray protection.
- Even though both units are originally right hinged, the door can be reversed to form a stylish French door pattern
We Don’t Like:
- Assembly required to make it a French door design
If you are a connoisseur of wine as well as canned beverages (beer, anyone?), this is the perfect model for all your needs. Solid build quality offers peace of mind.
