Le Cache Contemp 2400 Chocolate #735

• SB/0™ Technology (top-vent exhaust): Heat exhausts through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so the unit can sit flush against a wall without clearance gaps. Relevant if you’re fitting this into a dining room alcove or against a finished wall.
• CellarPro cooling unit, US-made: Available in three variants (1800QTL-ECX, 1800QT-ECX, 1800XT-ECX) with running amp draws from 2.4 to 3.0 amps on a standard 115V/60Hz circuit. The QTL is the lowest-draw and quietest option — worth selecting if the cabinet will be near a living or dining space.
• Active humidity management: The adjustable humidity control actively maintains cellar-level humidity, unlike wine coolers or refrigerators that only regulate temperature. This matters for long-term aging, particularly for natural corks.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard foam insulation, reducing thermal load on the cooling unit and improving energy efficiency over time.
• 286-bottle capacity with double-deep racking: 256 individual slots at 3.8-inch spacing accommodate oversized formats including Burgundy and Champagne bottles. An additional ~30-bottle bulk area handles magnums or stacked overflow.
• Audible and visual alarms alert to temperature or humidity excursions without requiring you to monitor the display.
• Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes on the CellarPro unit allow you to reduce operating costs during low-use periods or recover quickly after restocking.
• Keyed security lock on both doors; 5-year warranty on the cooling system and 2-year warranty on the cabinet, with an optional extended warranty available.

Pairs Well With

• The optional CellarPro bottle probe, which measures temperature at the bottle rather than at the air sensor — useful for verifying actual storage conditions in a densely packed cabinet.

What These Specs Mean

• Running / Startup Amps: Running amps reflect steady-state electrical draw; startup amps represent the brief surge when the compressor first engages — your dedicated circuit must be sized to handle the higher startup figure without tripping.
• CellarPro 1800QTL-ECX vs. 1800QT-ECX vs. 1800XT-ECX: These are three selectable cooling unit configurations for this cabinet; the QTL draws the least power and runs quietest, while the XT provides the most cooling capacity for installations in warmer ambient environments.

Can the Le Cache 2400 be placed flush against a wall, or does it need clearance space behind it?

A: The 2400 is built with Le Cache's SB/0™ Technology, which allows it to sit completely flush against a wall with zero rear clearance required. Heat exhaust is routed through a top-vent rather than the back, so placement against a wall, in a niche or between furniture pieces doesn't compromise cooling performance. It is a freestanding unit — not designed for cabinetry cutout installation — but its wall-flush design makes it integrate cleanly into most room layouts.

How many bottles does the 2400 actually hold, and will it fit oversized Burgundy or Champagne bottles?

A: Total capacity is 286 bottles: 256 individually racked in all-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots and approximately 30 bottles in bulk stacked storage. The universal racking system accommodates oversized bottles including large-format Burgundy and Champagne shapes, so you won't need to pull racks or rearrange to fit heavier or wider bottles. The double-deep storage layout makes good use of the cabinet's 29-inch depth.

Does the 2400 actively manage humidity, or does it just cool like a refrigerator?

A: This is one of the key differences between a true wine cabinet and a standard cooler or refrigerator. The 2400 includes adjustable humidity control alongside its electronic thermostat and digital display — something wine coolers and refrigerators do not offer. Le Cache is explicit that refrigerators aren't recommended for long-term wine storage precisely because they can't maintain the humidity levels needed to protect corks and preserve aging conditions. The CellarPro cooling unit also features Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes plus audible and visual alarms for temperature or humidity excursions.

Which CellarPro cooling unit should I choose for the 2400, and what are the electrical requirements?

A: The 2400 is available with three CellarPro 1800-series options, all running on a standard 115V AC / 60 Hz circuit. The 1800QTL-ECX draws 2.4 amps running / 14.2 amps startup and is the quietest option — the best choice for dining rooms or living spaces where noise matters. The 1800QT-ECX runs at 2.9A / 20.1A startup and the 1800XT-ECX at 3.0A / 20.1A startup. Which unit is right depends on your room's thermal load (ambient temperature, insulation, sun exposure). Le Cache provides a Thermal Load Calculation guide and a Cooling Unit Selection Guide to help match the unit to your specific environment before purchase.

What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?

A: The cabinet itself carries a 2-year warranty and the CellarPro cooling unit is covered separately for 5 years. An optional extended warranty is also available if you want coverage beyond those terms. The cooling unit being made in the USA by CellarPro means parts and service are domestically supported, which matters for long-term ownership — particularly on a cabinet in this price range.

How quiet is the 2400 in a living space or dining room?

A: Le Cache specifically updated the 2400 line with what they describe as the most advanced and quietest cooling units from CellarPro. The quietest configuration is the 1800QTL-ECX, which runs at just 2.4 amps — the lowest draw of the three available units. CellarPro publishes a detailed sound performance chart for the 1800-series so you can review decibel levels across operating modes before deciding. For placement in a living area or dining room, the QTL-ECX variant is the one to specify.
