Wine storage and protection
The single adjustable zone covers 5°C to 20°C, giving useful control for either storage or serving-focused use. Fan-assisted cooling is intended to distribute air evenly, while the integrated heating element supports stable conditions when required.
The protection package is a particular strength. Anti-UV double glazing helps limit light exposure, the low-vibration compressor is designed to reduce disturbance, and the activated-charcoal filter supports air quality inside the compartment.
Capacity and everyday access
The 56-litre interior accommodates up to 20 standard 0.75-litre bottles. Two removable beech shelves run on telescopic guides, alongside a fixed beech shelf, giving a practical arrangement for selecting or reorganising bottles.
Touch controls, an internal LED display and interior lighting make the contents easier to manage. The E MOTION touch-opening system adds a polished interaction, while the reversible door can simplify installation planning.
Design, noise and efficiency
The glossy black Eclipse glass door, copper-effect details and integrated 45cm format give this cooler a strong visual focus in a premium kitchen. Its stated 37 dB(A) noise level should suit many domestic settings without being a headline feature.
The main compromises are the single-zone layout and F efficiency rating. This is therefore better suited to a focused collection and design-led installation than to buyers seeking maximum capacity, dual-temperature flexibility or particularly low energy consumption.
