Avanti EWC 16B 16-bottle Wine Cooler Review

The Avanti EWC16B wine cooler is a nice small wine refrigerator that'll take up little space in your home yet provides proper wine storage conditions for up to 16 bottles of wine.

This model is thermoelectric meaning that it generates cool air using a state-of-the-art technology instead of traditional compressor cooling. Thermoelectric cooling is applied in small to mid-sized refrigerators and it has the benefits of silent, vibration-free, and eco-friendly (no CFC or HCFC coolants) operation which is very beneficial when storing wines.

The Avanti EWC16B is a cheap, no-frills wine refrigerator with black cabinet and black framed glass door. The door is reversible and tempered for good thermal insulation. It has recessed handle to save space.

With the manual thermostat (a knob mounted on the top right-hand corner inside the cabinet) you can adjust the cooling temperature in the range of 51 - 62 °F.

The knob has three settings: MIN, MED, MAX, and an OFF position.

When you adjust the temperature for the first time set it to MAX, after 2 hours you can set it to MED which is at 55 °F.

The OFF setting stops the cooling cycle but doesn't shut off the power to the wine cooler.

The 3 slide-out chrome-plated metal shelves are scalloped to better accommodate wine bottles (3 bottles/shelf). You can place 4 bottles at the bottom of the cabinet.

Thermoelectric wine coolers aren't designed to operate in extreme cold or hot conditions. To ensure that your Avanti 16-bottle thermoelectric cooler operates efficiently and keeps your wine properly chilled place the appliance in a room where ambient temp. is between 72 - 78 °F.

The wine cabinet has interior light that you can turn On/Off by pressing the light switch next to the temperature control knob in the upper right-hand corner of the cabinet.

The wine cooler has leveling legs for proper placement.

Dimensions:

  • Height: 20 1/4"
  • Width: 17"
  • Depth: 19"

Weight: 32 lbs.

Price of the Avanti 16-bottle Wine Cooler: cc. $100 - $160 ($6.25 - $10.0 per bottle), this is one of the cheapest wine cabinets with 16 bottles capacity.

Warranty: 1 year parts and labor.

User Reviews of Avanti EWC16B Wine Refrigerator

Some users of this model have found the unit noisy due to the fan in the back of the cabinet. Make sure you leave some space at the rear of the unit for proper venting.



Whynter SNO WC-16S 16-bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator

The Whynter 16-bottle wine cooler is another nice, compact home wine cabinet. Similarly to the Avanti 16-bottle model the Whynter SNO WC-16S wine refrigerator is a thermoelectric appliance.

It offers a couple of advantages over the Avanti model:

  • the door can be locked (2 keys are included) so you can keep your children from accessing your wines,

  • nice digital temperature read-out and push button controls integrated in the top frame of the cabinet. By presisng the Up/Down buttons you can adjust the temperature between 52 - 64 °F. The digital control ensures more precise temperature control than a mechanic one.
  • it looks more attractive with the shiny platinum-like finish and silver-trimmed glass door.
