The Dellonda Baridi 18 Bottle Wine Cooler combines compact design with practical wine storage. This freestanding unit features a tempered mirror glass door that reflects UV light whilst allowing you to view your collection.
Temperature control ranges from 5-18°C via digital touch screen controls. The compressor cooling system includes automatic defrost functionality. At just 42dB operation it suits under-counter placement or kitchen worktop positioning.
Removable beech wood shelves accommodate bottles up to 330mm height. The slim 34.5cm width fits into tight spaces whilst the 50-litre capacity stores your wine collection efficiently. Annual energy consumption measures 120 kWh.
The unit cools down to 5°C at its minimum setting. However, customer feedback indicates the actual lowest temperature achieved is typically around 10°C in normal room conditions. The cooling performance depends on ambient room temperature as the unit cannot cool below the surrounding environment temperature.
Whilst rated for 18 bottles, real-world capacity varies based on bottle shapes and sizes. Standard Bordeaux bottles fit well with approximately 12-15 bottles fitting comfortably. Larger bottles like Champagne or unusual shapes may reduce total capacity. The 330mm maximum bottle height accommodates most wine bottle types.
Yes, the 77cm height and 34.5cm width make it ideal for under-counter fitting. The freestanding design requires no built-in ventilation modifications. However, ensure adequate air circulation around the unit's sides and rear for optimal cooling performance. The quiet 42dB operation makes it suitable for kitchen integration.
This single-zone cooler works best for storing one type of wine at a time. The 5-18°C range suits white wines and lighter reds but may be too warm for optimal Champagne storage which requires 4-6°C. It's ideal for short to medium-term storage rather than long-term wine ageing.
The unit consumes 120 kWh annually, equivalent to approximately £30-40 per year in electricity costs at current UK rates. The G energy rating indicates moderate efficiency for a compressor-based cooling system. The automatic defrost feature helps maintain efficiency by preventing ice build-up.
The beech wood shelves are removable but not adjustable in height. This allows cleaning and flexible bottle arrangement but limits customisation for different bottle sizes. The fixed shelf spacing works well for standard wine bottles but may not accommodate unusually tall or short bottles optimally.
At 42dB the unit operates quieter than most household appliances, similar to a quiet library environment. The compressor cycles on and off to maintain temperature, creating brief periods of slightly higher noise. Most users find it suitable for kitchen or dining areas without causing disturbance.
The cooler cannot achieve temperatures lower than the ambient room temperature. In hot conditions above 25°C, the unit may struggle to reach its minimum 5°C setting. For best performance, place the unit in a cool location away from heat sources like ovens or direct sunlight. Consider room air conditioning for optimal wine storage in hot climates.
