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.

This is the WORST product I have ever received. EVER.

The unit was completed trashed inside. The racks were all askew/tristed. There were 2 additional cooling fans inside and an extra circuit board that was just left to bounce around during transit. The unit was clearly used before with spills inside, on the racks and on the cooling fins. Now for the real fun part. The unit did not even work. Turned on but would not chill to lower than 62 degrees. What a disaster.

What size wine bottles must you buy to come anywhere near 28

using strictly standard size 750ml bottles - nothing with wide bottoms this only holds 20 bottles with two shelves extracted. Not what was advertised ! What do you display in your ads - splits and half-bottles ??? Very disappointed !

Wish I hadn't bought.

Digital touch board does not work correctly. Two repairs attempted, parts replaced, constant beeping noises have stopped but temp displays still don't function correctly. Warranty repairs handled by 3rd party. Good luck dealing with them.

A great starting wine cooler

The product is a great one for a starting vino freak. The shelves do not allow for multiple kinds of shelving. Only the standard bourdux bottle will work. No more no less. If you do put different types of bottles you must skip the shelving which means you can not hold 28 bottles.

Excellent Customer Service - Vincent is a Star

Item sent asome a surprise Christmas present but somehow the handle was missing. An email to customer care put me in touch with Vincent. The poor man, I think I drove him crazy. He stood tall and stuck with methough and after a second try, I received the missing handle. The first one was for a different model even though the packing slip listed the correct model cooler. Thank you Vincent for going the extra mile to make my present complete.

Great Customer Service

The cooling kit on our AW-281E needed replacement. Vincent was very helpful with the troubleshooting and replacement process. Our wine cooler works great again.

Excellent product and customer service

I bought this to as a Wineador, which is a fancy cooler to keep cigars correctly humidified.Not only did NewAir have the lowest price, it had free shipping too! The packaging was very adequate for a 60 pound item. Ended up buying a warranty through SquareTrade only cause I have a few plans with them already. If I didn't, I would gladly buy one from NewAir. Although I didn't use it, It made me feel better knowing that NewAir has a 30 day back money back guarantee. Highly recommended, and will be using these guys for future cooling products!

I have had my unit for four years and it is still working, although if the ambient temperature rises above 76 degrees, the unit has trouble now in getting below 57 degrees. May have to replace the cooling unit, which is cheaper than buying a whole new cooler. Overall, pleased with the purchase.

New Air wine cooler

This New Air wind cooler is great!!! I don't hear a thing and it stays pretty precise with temp 55. It can flectuate a few degrees depending on room temp. The price was great for such a nice unit. Racks don't glide out very smoothly but I can deal with the little effort. Highly recommend NewAir products. Very happy with purchase and customer service has been outstanding with questions and help ordering.

Perfect fit

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.
