Best EdgeStar Wine Coolers (2023 Review)
With EdgeStar making countless models of wine coolers it can be difficult to understand which is the right one for you. In this article you will find which four EdgeStar wine coolers are the best, whether they meet your requirements and how good or bad they really are.
#1 EdgeStar CWF380DZ
EdgeStar CWF380DZ is a dual zone wine cooler with 38 bottle capacity. In reality you probably won’t be able to fit that many as the claimed capacity is based on standard sized 750ml 2.75″ Bordeaux bottles but you can expect it to hold 20-30 bottles of different sized and shaped.
Upper temperature zone features 2 shelves whereas bottom one – 4. In both zones temperature can be adjusted from 40°F to 65°F whereas most other dual zone wine coolers have different temperatures ranges for each zone.
Temperatures seem to be accurate and constant. With that being said there might be some occasional temperature fluctuations as this is a pretty inexpensive wine cooler and doesn’t feature front venting but for the money performance is great.
Control panel
Each temperature zone has its own separate LCD Display and buttons for temperature adjustment. There are also 4 other buttons:
- “Power” button: Hold for 3 seconds to turn wine cooler on or off.
- “Leaf” button: Hold for 3 seconds to enter energy saving mode (will turn off all lights and LCD display).
- “Light” button: Press to turn interior light on or off.
- “°C/°F” button: Hold for 3 seconds to change temperature scale (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
Features
EdgeStar CWF380DZ features UV-blocking tinted front glass and lockable door with reversible door hinge.
Specifications
- Voltage/Frequency:AC 115V~60Hz
- Amperage: 1.5 A
- Input power: 120W
- Refrigerant: 1.06 oz. R600a
Size
EdgeStar CWF380DZ wine cooler measures 19.375 inches wide by 23 inches deep (24.875” including hande) by 32.875 inches high.
Other
When you receive your EdgeStar CWF380DZ you should let it stand for 24 hours to allow coolant fluids to settle in (this should be done with pretty much any wine cooler) to prevent damaging compressor.
Since this model doesn’t have front vent it should be used only for freestanding application. It requires 5 inch clearance at the back and 3 inch clearance on both sides and top.
Conclusions
All things considered EdgeStar CWF380DZ will be the best wine cooler for most consumers. It’s not too expensive yet holds plenty of bottles and can keep them at different temperatures too which can be vital if you own different types of wine.
#2 EdgeStar CWR532SZ 24-Inch Wide 53-Bottle Undercounter/Built-in Wine Cooler

Temperature inside EdgeStar CWR532SZ wine cooler can be set from 40°F to 65°F. It can hold up to 53 bottles of wine but as always the actual holding capacity depends on size and shape of your bottles.

#3 EdgeStar CWR70SZ 6-Inch 7 Bottle Built-In Wine Cooler

Actual capacity depends on the size of bottles as 44 bottle figure is based on standard sized 750ml 2.75″ Bordeaux bottles. Bigger bottles, especially the longer ones might not fit at all.
