Key Features

Stores up to 28 bottles of your favorite wine
  • Thermoelectric cooling system operates quietly with less vibration than a compressor unit
  • Double-paned glass door offers extra insulation and UV protection
  • Digital display makes it easy to monitor the interior temperature
  • Internal soft LED light illuminates your wine without adding extra heat
Store your wine at the perfect temperature with this NewAir wine cooler. This thermoelectric wine cooler can store up to 28 bottles of your favorite wine on its 6 chrome shelves that slide out for your convenience. This wine fridge features a thermoelectric cooling system, meaning it draws warm air out of your cooler instead of pumping cold refrigerant vapor in. It does not have a compressor and has fewer moving parts, which means quieter operation and less vibration, preventing sediment build up that could potentially affect the taste of your wine. The double-paned glass door provides insulation as well as UV protection to your bottles. This unit has a push button control panel with a digital thermostat, which allows you to quickly and easily set the wine cooler to an accurate temperature that you desire between 54 and 66 degrees Fahrenheit. The interior LED light softly illuminates your collection without adding the extra heat of incandescent bulbs.

Nice looking wine cooler

Thought this would be adequate as a beverage AND wine cooler, not thinking through ahead of time the fact that at a minimum temp of 54 degrees, this wouldn't really be cold enough for soda and water. Shelves are also only adequately sized for standard size wine bottles - anything over-sized will only fit on the top shelf. Temp drops immediately when you open the door, so don't buy this if you're concerned about a constant temp delivery. Looks good, runs quietly. Have only had for a week or so, thus can't attest to long term durability and quality. Works well for what it is, though, and price was decent.

Amazing Results

I just assumed that for the ridiculously low price this product would be OK at best but I was pleasantly surprised. It looks and performs like a unit costing 3 times the price. Quiet, cools quickly and pretty to look at as well. This was a great deal from Ait-n-Water.

A wonderful birthday gift!

My sons bought this for me for my birthday and I could not be more thrilled! My husband and I had been looking for one for a few months and being wine novices we were not sure which one would work best or what features we needed. It is wonderful and the perfect size for our needs.

The AW-281E is good looking and holds constant temperature.

Shipment was quick and on time. Great packaging ensured no damage. Wine cooler looks great and is working very well. Picked New Air because company was highly rated for customer service and the products received good reviews.

Sleek Looking

After a considerable amount of on-line inquiry and research, I was left more confused and unsure from when I started! I slept on it and the next day began researching again. After several hours I remembered reading an on-line survey and this product was marked by customers 10 out of 10! I found the article and did a bit more research and price comparison, etc. What I discovered it is scored high in every way possible. This product beat every other refrigerator in what areas I was interested in. I ordered the refrig on Sunday. Tuesday evening, I had all my wonderful wine in my beautiful refrig. Talk about fast! The pricing was excellent and so far we have a beautiful frige for our wine. I am so happy I found Air-n-Water! Christmas is coming up and is this is an affordable gift that will keep giving! Everyone who comes in the house loves the fridge and thinking of surprising my son with one. Thanks so much for making an affordable yet outstanding product.

Great for the money.

We have been very satisfied with the price, service and delivery as well as the product. The only thing that surprised me was that the wine racks themselves seem to be a little light weight but do the job. In order to place larger bottles we have had to remove one of the racks. But everything else seems great and it is very quiet.

Perfect unit.

This is the perfect addition to our bar/rec room area. It looks great and displays are easy to see. It maintains a perfect temp. We do chill the wine in the fridge prior to putting in the cooler so that the temp doesn't drop. Party time!!

Perfect little Red keeper!

Just back from a trip to Napa with more red wine than we could store and keep cool. This little beauty is not only attractive and small, it does a great job of keeping all those fabulous Cabs we brought home cool and oh so drinkable. We highly recommend! The order was supposed to come with a NakedWine gift card but it was not included in the box. I totally forgot about that bonus until I started writing this review. The fridge, however, is definitely a keeper.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
