Freestanding Wine Cellar Reviews
Freestanding wine coolers make an excellent addition for any homeowner.
They spruce up the place by giving an extra air of extravagance. Having a freestanding wine fridge in your home will definitely impress your friends who might come to visit.
A freestanding wine fridge is a compartment perfect for storing and displaying your wines in. It creates the perfect condition your wines need in order to age properly. Storing wines at a temperature higher or lower than what it’s suited for hinders you wine’s proper aging or worse, it can degrade its quality. This is why it’s important that you have a free-standing wine cellar in your home.
A freestanding wine fridge, unlike its built-in counterpart, can be placed anywhere in your home!
And it doesn’t just have to stick to one spot. All you need is a plug to power it with, and you can keep changing its position anywhere so you can easily find a new place for it that fits your current interior. This kind of appliance always benefits the décor value of a room, whether on your kitchen countertop, the corner of your private study, or even placed conveniently in your bedroom for those stressful late nights at work.
Most built-in wine coolers require you to place them in specific dimensions.
You also might have to hire professional help in order to properly install one in your home. With a freestanding wine fridge, you don’t need to worry any about that. All you need to find out for yourself is what size of wine cooler fits your needs and would find a nice place in your home where it would look good. And then you just buy it, put it somewhere that fits your decor, plug it in, and voila! You’re done!
Freestanding Wine Cellars are Cheaper than Built-In Wine Cellars.
Another reason why you want a wine cellar freestanding instead of built-in is that they are usually cheaper compared to their immobile counterparts. This is because built-in wine cellars require a more extensive ventilation system. For a quick comparison on their prices, a 32 bottle freestanding wine cellar made by Edgestar costs $450.00 while a 32 bottle built-in one of the same brand will cost you $750. That’s a $300 price difference! Buying a freestanding wine cooler will save you a lot of money and the hassle of hiring professional installers that built-in wine cellars require.
Built-in Wine Coolers require professionally installed ventilation.
Since built-in wine cellars are kept inside closed compact interiors, they require a ventilation system that moves all of its created heat towards the open facing end of the wine cellar. With a free standing wine cellar, you don’t have to worry about your unit overheating if properly maintained.
There are plenty of freestanding wine coolers in the market for you to choose from. When buying models like the NutriChef 18 Bottle Dual Zone Stainless Steel Thermoelectric Wine Cooler (PKDSWC18) with its door having a tinted gray glass window and its exterior stainless steel with a brushed finish, this cooler would look great in any modern home. Another great dual zone freestanding wine cooler that made my Best for 2019 list is the Ivation IV-FWCT181DB 18 Bottle Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler. With its sleek lines and sophisticated tinted glass, it easily integrates with any decor without overpowering the room.
