The Ca’Lefort WBD275L-US is a tall, 24 inch wide dual zone wine and beverage fridge that the listing rates for 112 standard cans and 40 bottles of wine at the same time. It stands 55 inches high, weighs 160 pounds, uses an inverter compressor with 360-degree air circulation, and has a left-hinged UV glass door with shelves on slide rails. It suits a home bar, a games room or a kitchen with a spare 24-inch stretch of floor where one cabinet has to hold the beer, the soda and the wine. It sits in the premium price tier. The trade-offs are a cabinet that is too tall to go under a counter, a listing that disagrees with itself on the lowest temperature, and an owner record of only four ratings, all posted on the same day.
Ca’Lefort WBD275L-US 24 Inch Wine and Beverage Fridge Review
This Ca’Lefort wine and beverage fridge review is for one kind of buyer: someone who wants the drinks and the wine in one tall cabinet and has the floor space to stand it up.
Is the Ca’Lefort WBD275L-US Worth It for You?
Recommended for: Home bars, basements and games rooms where a 24-inch wide, 55-inch tall cabinet can stand on the floor, households that keep a lot of canned drinks alongside a modest wine collection, and buyers who want two zones with one-degree control in a single appliance.
Look elsewhere if: You need it to fit under a counter, wine is the main event and drinks are an afterthought, or you want to see a longer run of owner feedback before spending at the premium tier.
What Works
- Rated for 112 cans and 40 bottles at once, in 9 cubic feet
- Two zones with 1 F adjustment, so drinks and wine can sit at different settings
- Inverter compressor with full internal air circulation, automatic defrost and power-off memory
- Shelves on slide rails; owners of the 24-inch CLF-WD24-A complain its shelves stop short
- Bottom compartment takes either a wood or a glass shelf panel
- UV-resistant double glass door with a brushed stainless frame
- Warranty listed as 1 year on the unit, 2 years on parts and 3 years on the compressor
What Doesn’t
- 55 inches tall: it will not go under a standard counter
- Left hinge only; the listing does not offer a reversible door
- Title says 34-65 F, the bullets say the minimum is 40 F
- Per-zone temperature ranges are not published
- No lock and no decibel figure listed
- Four owner ratings, all dated September 10, 2026, and none for this exact size
- 160 pounds; delivery is scheduled by the carrier and it is a two-person move

How the Ca’Lefort WBD275L-US Compares
| Factor | Ca’Lefort WBD275L-US | NewAir AWB-400DB |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 112 cans + 40 bottles, 9 cu ft | 70 cans + 20 bottles, 5.3 cu ft |
| Size | 23 in W x 22 in D x 55 in H | 23.5 in W x 24 in D x 33 in H |
| Placement | Freestanding (tall cabinet) | Under-counter or freestanding |
| Zones | Dual; split not published | Upper 37-50 F, lower 50-66 F |
| Cooling | Inverter compressor | Compressor, front venting |
| Lock | Not listed | Key lock |
| Energy (listing) | 200 kWh/yr | 410 kWh/yr |
| Warranty | 1 yr unit, 2 yr parts, 3 yr compressor | Not published on the listing |
These two solve different problems. The NewAir AWB-400DB is a 33-inch under-counter unit that disappears into a run of cabinets and publishes its zone split. The Ca’Lefort is a standing cabinet with roughly double the bottle count, more room for cans, and a much longer compressor warranty. If you have counter space to build into, the NewAir is the tidier answer. If you have a wall in a bar or basement and want everything in one place, the Ca’Lefort holds far more. For smaller options, the mixed beverage cooler range covers 15-inch and under-counter units.
Who It’s For
Home bars and entertaining spaces
Good fit
- A basement bar, games room or covered patio room where a tall cabinet can stand against a wall. One owner of a sister size keeps white wine, red wine, hard seltzer, beer and soft drinks in it together.
- Households that buy cans by the case. Many under-counter wine and beverage fridges give cans only a shelf or two; this one is rated for 112 cans alongside the wine.
- Anyone who wants drinks and wine at different settings. Ca’Lefort does not publish how far each zone can go, so check with the seller if you want cans near the high 30s. Wine for serving sits in the 45-60 F band. The temperature zone matcher covers the wine settings.
Before you order
Worth knowing
- The listing fields say “Built-In/Freestanding”, but the title says freestanding design and the cabinet is 55 inches tall. Plan for it to stand on the floor. The listing does not say where it vents, so leave clear space at the back and sides unless Ca’Lefort confirms front venting.
- Delivery is a scheduled freight delivery, and the cabinet weighs 160 pounds. Measure doorways and stairs on the way in.
- Ca’Lefort sells the same tall cabinet in other layouts: 77 bottles with 185 cans, 90 bottles in one or two zones, and 155 or 166 bottles. If wine is the priority, a wine-only version will serve you better.
- Bottle counts on wine and beverage fridges assume slim Bordeaux bottles and standard 12 ounce cans. A July 2026 hands-on review of a different 24-inch Ca’Lefort wine and beverage model fitted noticeably fewer of each than its listing claimed, so treat 112 and 40 as maximums.
Where it struggles
Think twice
- The owner record is not one you can lean on yet. There are four ratings, all five stars, all posted on September 10, 2026, and they are for the 77-bottle and 90-bottle versions rather than this one. One of them describes owning the cooler for over a year on a listing that appears newer than that. I give them little weight.
- The temperature claims do not line up. The title says 34-65 F and the first bullet says the minimum is 40 F. If you want cans near freezing, ask the seller which is right before you buy.
- The listing claims the inverter compressor uses about 35 percent less energy than fixed-speed models. That is the manufacturer’s claim, and the 200 kWh figure it lists is the same number Ca’Lefort gives for its 28-bottle coolers, so I would not plan running costs around it.
- Ca’Lefort support is run from China by email and an international phone number. Buying through Amazon gives you Amazon’s 30-day return window, which matters more than usual on a 160 pound appliance.
A Closer Alternative Worth Considering
NewAir AWB-400DB Dual Zone Wine and Beverage Cooler
If what you really need is drinks and wine under a counter, the NewAir is the unit to compare. It is 33 inches tall, front venting, and built to slide beneath standard 24-inch cabinetry, with a published 37-50 F beverage zone and 50-66 F wine zone and a key lock. It holds far less, its listed energy use is higher, and its rating carries a one-star share I would not ignore, but it fits where the Ca’Lefort cannot. The NewAir brand guide covers its other sizes.

Questions Readers Ask
Is there a difference between a wine fridge and a beverage fridge?
Yes. A beverage fridge is built to get cans and bottles of soda or beer cold, often into the mid to high 30s. A wine fridge holds a narrower, warmer band, usually 40-65 F, with gentler cooling and shelves shaped for bottles. A wine and beverage fridge like this one splits the cabinet into two zones so each side can do its own job. Our guide to what a wine cooler can hold covers the overlap.
Can the Ca’Lefort 24 inch wine and beverage fridge go under a counter?
Not this model. It is 55 inches tall, so it stands on the floor. If you need an under-counter wine and beverage unit, look at a 33 to 34 inch tall model such as the NewAir AWB-400DB, or the under-counter wine cooler guide.
Is Ca’Lefort a good fridge brand?
It is a brand with a mixed record. Its most-reviewed wine fridge has 74 Amazon ratings at 4.3 stars, and owners of that model praise the look, the lighting and quick responses from support. Complaints focus on noise from some units, shelves that do not slide out fully on older models, and delivery problems in 2025. This tall cabinet is too new to judge on its own record.
Who makes Ca’Lefort appliances?
Ca’Lefort’s own site gives a company address in Zhongshan, China, and names a founder, Kenneth. I have not found a published parent company or factory beyond that.
How cold does the beverage side get?
The listing gives two answers: 34 F in the title and a 40 F minimum in the bullets. Until Ca’Lefort clarifies, plan on 40 F as the floor. That is cold enough for most canned drinks, but not as cold as a dedicated beverage cooler that runs in the mid 30s.
Final Verdict
Ca’Lefort WBD275L-US is a sensible buy for a home bar or games room with floor space to spare, because it holds far more cans and bottles than an under-counter unit and backs the compressor for three years. The caveats are its height, a contradictory temperature claim and an owner record too thin to trust yet, so buy it for the layout, not the reviews.
- Best for: Home bars, basements, games rooms, households that keep lots of canned drinks plus a modest wine collection
- Not ideal for: Under-counter spaces, wine-first collections, buyers who want an established owner record
