Kalamera makes compressor wine coolers in the mid-range price tier, and the two Kalamera models we review are 24-inch dual zone cabinets listed for built-in or freestanding use, so they can go under a kitchen counter or stand on their own. The Kalamera 24 Inch 46-Bottle Dual Zone is the one we rate highest. The Kalamera 24 Inch 37 Bottle Dual Zone uses the same size cabinet and has a much larger owner record. The limitation buyers find too late is the warranty: both listings state one year.
I have spent over ten years testing and reviewing wine coolers, wine cellar equipment, and wine-related gear, and tracking how it actually holds up over time. No unit on this page was bench-tested. These recommendations are built from the manufacturer’s specifications, the Amazon listings’ own stated figures, owner reports and comparison against units in the same size class. Where a figure comes from a listing rather than Kalamera, the page says so. Where a model has no published figure, the page says that too.
These are the Kalamera wine coolers we have reviewed that you can buy today. Each link goes to the full review, with specifications, pros and cons, and alternatives.
| Model | Capacity | Zones | Installation | Our Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kalamera KRC-150DZB-C3 24 inch | 46 bottles | Dual | Built-in or freestanding | 4.3/5 |
| Kalamera KRC-150DZB 24 inch | 37 bottles | Dual | Built-in or freestanding | 3.9/5 |
Both were available to order on Amazon when we checked on October 5, 2026. The 46-bottle listing showed only two units left.
Kalamera ratings here are scored against other 24-inch compressor coolers that can be built in. A model loses points for a short warranty, a listing that muddles its own figures, or a missing noise rating. It gains points for built-in placement, published zone ranges and a strong owner record.
Forty-six bottles on five removable wood shelves, an upper zone of 40 to 50 F and a lower zone of 50 to 66 F, and front venting with zero rear clearance for under-counter use. Buy it for reds and whites held apart in a standard 24-inch opening. Read the review.
The same 23.4-inch cabinet and the same two zones, rated for 37 bottles, with a key lock and temperature memory after a power cut. It has hundreds of owner ratings, but its listing mixes in figures from the 46-bottle model, so go by the title. Read the review.
We reviewed this Kalamera model in the past. Its page keeps the record of what it offered and lists current alternatives.

| KRC-150CB | Wine and beverage cooler, 24 inch | No longer listed on Amazon | Review and alternatives |
Both models share a model family name and a cabinet size. The 37-bottle listing’s bullets and size field say 46, which belongs to the sister model. Check that the title and the model number, KRC-150DZB or KRC-150DZB-C3, match the one you mean to buy.
On both models the upper zone runs 40 to 50 F and the lower zone 50 to 66 F. The upper zone is the cool one for whites and sparkling, the lower the warm one for reds. You cannot set both zones to the same cellaring temperature.
The 46 assumes standard Bordeaux bottles. With Burgundy, Champagne and wider Pinot Noir bottles, expect any cooler to hold fewer bottles than its rated capacity.
Both listings state a one-year warranty. Keep your receipt, and register the unit when it arrives.
The two Kalamera models we review are close relatives. Both are 23.4 inches wide, 22.4 inches deep and 33 inches tall, both use compressor cooling, both are listed for built-in or freestanding use, and both list the same zone ranges. Only the 46-bottle listing states front venting. The KRC-150DZB-C3 is rated for 46 bottles and lists zero rear clearance for built-in use. The KRC-150DZB is rated for 37 bottles and has a far larger owner record. The discontinued KRC-150CB was a wine and beverage cooler rather than a wine-only cabinet.
Built-in placement and published zone ranges in a standard 24-inch size, wood shelves, and temperature memory after a power cut. The 37-bottle model also has a large owner record, which few coolers in this class can match.
The warranty is one year on both models. Kalamera does not publish a noise figure for either, and the 37-bottle listing mixes its figures with the 46-bottle model’s, which makes it harder to know exactly what you are buying.
The listings give 333 kWh a year for the 46-bottle model and 332.15 kWh a year for the 37-bottle model. At an example rate of 15 cents per kWh, that is about 50 dollars a year for either. That sits at the top of the 115 to 333 kWh a year range in our energy-efficient wine fridge guide. Room temperature and how often the door is opened will change the real number.
Keep the front grille clear when the cooler is built in. Vacuum dust from the front grille a few times a year, check that the door gasket seals all the way around, and give a new unit time to settle at its set temperature before loading it fully. The listing for the 46-bottle model says it defrosts automatically every six hours, so a little water in the drain tray is normal.

For a dual zone cooler that fits a standard 24-inch opening, yes. We rate the 46-bottle KRC-150DZB-C3 at 4.3 out of 5 and the 37-bottle KRC-150DZB at 3.9. Both are listed for built-in use. The weak point is the one-year warranty.
Kalamera does not publish a company address on its website. A US import-records directory lists Kalamera Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada, and describes its products as made in China. Kalamera itself does not state where its coolers are built.
One year, according to the Amazon listings for both models we review. Kalamera’s own website does not show warranty terms on its main pages, so keep your receipt and check with the seller.
Yes, both models we review are listed for built-in or freestanding use. The 46-bottle model also lists front venting and zero rear clearance.
Check the simple things first: the set temperature for each zone, a door that is not fully closed, a door gasket that is not sealing, and a blocked front grille. A hot room makes any compressor cooler struggle. If the cabinet still runs warm, contact the seller or Kalamera with your model number and proof of purchase while the one-year warranty still applies.
Choose Kalamera for a mid-range dual zone cooler that fits a standard 24-inch opening. The 46-bottle KRC-150DZB-C3 is the model to buy. Choose the 37-bottle model if a long owner record matters more to you than the extra nine bottles. Either way, plan for a one-year warranty.
The 37-bottle Kalamera is a sensible under-counter dual zone for a collection that has outgrown a countertop fridge, as long as you buy it for what it is and not for the bigger number that keeps appearing in its listing.
This is the Kalamera I would point most people toward if they want a genuine dual-zone built-in at a 24-inch width at a mid-range price, as long as they accept a shorter warranty than some larger cabinets carry.
The Kalamera KRC-150CB, the 24-inch cooler with a wine side and a can side behind French doors, has dropped off Amazon, so here is what I would buy in its place.
Models on this page were assessed against manufacturer specifications, Amazon listings checked on October 5, 2026, and published owner reports, not laboratory testing. Ratings reflect that assessment and are revisited as products change.
