The Ca’Lefort CLF-WD24-A is a 24 inch dual zone built-in wine fridge sold on Amazon as a 51 bottle cooler. It uses a compressor with fan cooling, front ventilation for under-counter placement, five sapele wood shelves and a right-hinged double-pane UV glass door, and it sets in 1 F steps across 40-65 F. It suits a mixed collection of roughly 40 to 50 bottles going into a standard 24-inch cabinet opening where the door needs to open from the right. It sits in the mid-range price tier. The trade-offs are capacity figures that shift between 46, 51 and 52 depending on where you read them, mixed reports on noise, and no lock.
Ca’Lefort CLF-WD24-A 24 Inch 51 Bottle Dual Zone Wine Fridge Review
This Ca’Lefort 24 inch 51 bottle wine fridge review is the right-hinged answer to the main complaint in my review of its left-hinged sibling, and it has the longest owner record of the Ca’Lefort wine fridges I have looked at.
Is the Ca’Lefort CLF-WD24-A Worth It for You?
Recommended for: Kitchen and bar remodels with a standard 24-inch under-counter opening where the door should open from the right, mixed collections of reds and whites, and buyers who want a three-year compressor warranty and a real owner record behind it.
Look elsewhere if: Your opening needs a left-hand swing, you need a lock, or the cooler will sit in a quiet living space and an occasional high-pitched hum would bother you.
What Works
- Front ventilation, so it can be built in under a counter, slid into a cabinet run or left freestanding
- Two zones with 1 F adjustment across 40-65 F
- Compressor with fan cooling, automatic defrost and power-failure memory
- Right-hinged door, for openings where the sibling CLF-WD24L-26US cannot swing
- Under 34 inches tall, which Ca’Lefort notes with accessibility in mind
- 74 Amazon ratings at 4.3 stars, going back to early 2025
- Warranty listed as 1 year on the unit, 2 years on parts and 3 years on the compressor
What Doesn’t
- Capacity is listed as 51 in the title and 52 in the bullets, and some owners call it the 46-bottle
- Owners report the shelves do not pull all the way out, so back-row labels are hard to read
- One owner found the shelf slats narrower than some bottles
- The controls sit inside the door, so you open it to change a setting
- No lock
- Noise reports are split; a minority describe a constant high-pitched whir
- Weight and energy use were not shown in the listing details I could read

The CLF-WD24-A and the Ca’Lefort 24 Inch 52 Bottle (CLF-WD24L-26US) share a cabinet size, a capacity class, a temperature range and a warranty. The practical difference is the hinge side, and the record: this right-hinged listing has been on sale long enough to collect 74 ratings, while the left-hinged 2026 listing is still new. The Kalamera 46 Bottle is the rival to check if you want a reversible door, a lock and a published zone split, at the cost of five or six fewer bottles and a one-year warranty. All three sit in the large wine cooler range.
Who It’s For
24-inch under-counter openings
Good fit
- At 23.8 inches wide and 33.8 inches tall, it is sized for the same opening as a standard dishwasher. Check the 23.4-inch depth against your cabinets.
- Front ventilation is what makes a built-in wine fridge work under a counter, because the warm air leaves through the grille at the bottom rather than the back. Two owners describe it fitting their under-counter or bar space exactly.
- Mixed collections. Two zones let you keep whites cool and reds a few degrees warmer. Our dual zone wine fridge guide compares this class.
The capacity numbers
Worth knowing
- The Amazon title says 51 bottles, the first bullet says “at least 52”, and several owners refer to it as the 46-bottle. Ca’Lefort’s own size chart on the listing says 52.
- All of these counts assume slim Bordeaux bottles. A 2023 hands-on review of a 24-inch Ca’Lefort dual zone sold as 46 bottles fitted 36 real bottles. I would plan on roughly 40 to 45 for a typical mixed collection, fewer if you keep Burgundy or Champagne shapes. The space calculator helps.
- Home Depot sells a 24-inch Ca’Lefort dual zone as CLF-WD24-HD, rated 3.8 from 41 reviews. The specifications are close, but I have not seen anything confirming it is the same unit.
Where it struggles
Think twice
- Noise is the main split in owner feedback. Many describe it as very quiet, including one owner who replaced a thermoelectric cooler with it. A smaller group report a constant high-pitched whir, and a Canadian buyer called it louder than their kitchen refrigerator. If it is going in an open living area, keep the return window in mind.
- The shelves stop short of full extension, according to several owners, and one found the slats too narrow for some bottles.
- Delivery was a problem for some buyers in 2025, with repeated failed deliveries from a California warehouse. One owner says Ca’Lefort extended their warranty to make up for it and told them more US warehouses had opened.
- There is no lock, which one owner wanted to keep curious guests out.
- Support is run from China by email and an international phone number, though owners generally describe quick and helpful responses.
A Closer Alternative Worth Considering
Kalamera 24 Inch 46 Bottle Dual Zone (KRC-150DZB-C3)
If you want the door to open either way, or a lock, the Kalamera is the 24-inch cabinet to compare. It is front-vented for built-in use, publishes its zones at 40-50 F above and 50-66 F below, and lists a reversible door and a safety lock. You give up a few bottles and two years of compressor cover. For anyone who needs the extra capacity instead, the Allavino VSWR56-2BR20 56 Bottle is the step up.

Questions Readers Ask
Is Ca’Lefort a good wine refrigerator?
This model makes the strongest case for the brand. It holds 4.3 stars from 74 Amazon ratings, two-thirds of them five stars, with owners praising accurate temperatures, the lighting and the price against better-known brands. About one in eight ratings are one or two stars, mostly over noise, shelves that do not extend fully, or delivery. That is a fair record for a mid-range cooler, and the three-year compressor warranty is longer than the one year on the Kalamera and ICEVIVAL rivals.
What is the best 24 inch wine fridge?
For a right-hand door and a long compressor warranty, this Ca’Lefort is a strong pick. For a reversible door and a lock, the Kalamera 46 Bottle. For more bottles in a dual zone cabinet, the 56-bottle Allavino VSWR56-2BR20. The under-counter wine cooler guide ranks the wider field, and the comparison matrix puts them side by side.
What is the difference between the Ca’Lefort 51 and 52 bottle wine fridges?
On paper, the hinge. The CLF-WD24-A covered here is right-hinged and listed as 51 bottles; the newer CLF-WD24L-26US is left-hinged and listed as 52. They share the same 5.65 cubic foot cabinet, the same dimensions and the same temperature range, so the one-bottle difference looks like labelling rather than a different interior.
Does the Ca’Lefort 24 inch wine fridge need clearance when built in?
It vents from the front, which is what allows under-counter placement. The listing does not publish a clearance figure, so leave a small gap at the sides and back, allow for the plug, and keep the front grille clear. The under-counter guide covers the general rules.
Who makes Ca’Lefort wine coolers?
Ca’Lefort’s own site gives a company address in Zhongshan, China, and names a founder, Kenneth. I have not found a parent company or factory published anywhere else.
Final Verdict
Ca’Lefort CLF-WD24-A is a smart buy for a 24-inch under-counter opening that needs a right-hand door, because it pairs front venting, two zones and three years of compressor cover with the longest owner record of the Ca’Lefort wine fridges I have looked at. The caveats are a capacity figure to take with a pinch of salt, shelves that do not fully extend, and noise reports that are mostly good but not all.
- Best for: Kitchen and bar remodels, 24-inch cut-outs with a right-hand swing, mixed collections of about 40 to 50 bottles
- Not ideal for: Left-hand door swings, households that need a lock, very quiet living spaces
