Loft 1200 Wine Cooler 166 Bottle 2-Zone #19188

Placement requirements: 60-85F ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is outside this range, the performance of the unit will be affected.

Size: 23 3/4w x 27d (without handle) 29 1/2d (with handle) x 69 3/4h (in)

Shelving: 14 pull-out shelves (13 rolling)

Quiet Mode The wine cooler can be put into "quiet mode", which reduces the fan speed by 20-25% and reduces the amount of noise produced by the fans, by pressing and holding the light button (while the display panel is locked from not being touched for 15 seconds) for about 3-5 seconds. The C/F indicator will flash when the unit is in "quiet mode."

• Independent zone temperature ranges with a required 4°F differential: The upper zone runs 41–54°F and the lower zone runs 54–66°F, but the upper zone must always be set at least 4°F below the lower. Plan your white/red split accordingly before setting target temperatures.
• Rolling metal plate shelves accommodate Burgundy-format bottles: The wider plate design fits the broader shoulder of Burgundy and Pinot bottles. Rated capacity of 166 bottles is based on standard Bordeaux sizing — expect that number to drop if you rack Burgundy or other large-format bottles.
• 14 pull-out shelves (13 rolling): Every storage shelf rolls out independently on a track, so you can pull a row forward to retrieve bottles without disturbing the rest. Sourced from web data alongside the trusted spec list.
• Front-vented design allows zero side or rear clearance: All intake and exhaust are through the front grille, so the unit can be recessed flush into cabinetry or a built-in niche without compromising airflow. No dedicated wall gap required.
• R600a refrigerant system: This hydrocarbon refrigerant runs at lower operating pressure than older R134a systems, which typically translates to quieter operation and lower energy draw — relevant if the unit is going into a living space or dining room.
• 15-amp dedicated circuit required: The unit cannot share a circuit. Confirm your installation location has — or can be wired for — a dedicated 115V / 60Hz / 15-amp outlet before ordering.
• Compressor warranty is 5 years; parts and labor coverage is 1 year: The asymmetric warranty reflects where long-term risk actually sits on a refrigeration unit. The compressor is the component most likely to require service after year one.
• Ambient temperature range: 60–80°F: Performance specs are rated within this range. Garages, unconditioned basements or spaces that swing outside this window will affect temperature stability in both zones.
• Security door lock with keys included
• UL / ETL compliant
• Temperature display switchable between Fahrenheit and Celsius

Pairs Well With

• The optional rolling presentation shelf (sold separately) converts one shelf position into a label-forward display row — visible in the product images. Useful if the unit sits in a dining room or living space where you want access to a current selection without opening the door repeatedly.

Loft 1200 Manual

What These Specs Mean

• R600a Refrigerant: An isobutane-based refrigerant that runs quieter and more efficiently than older systems, with a lower environmental impact — well-suited for a unit intended for long-term, continuous operation.
• 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: The unit must be on its own circuit breaker, not shared with other appliances; plan for this during installation, especially in a built-in or remodeled space.

• Total capacity of 166 Bordeaux-size bottles
• 88 bottles can be stored in the upper (colder) zone
• 1 rolling plate shelf with stacked capacity for 22 bottles
• 6 rolling plate shelves with capacity for up to 11 Bordeaux bottles per shelf
• Optional presentation shelf (sold separately) with capacity for 20 bottles; can be used to replace 2 rolling shelves (bottle capacity will decline by 13 bottles)
• 78 bottles can be stored in the lower (warmer) zone
• 1 half-depth shelf at the bottom with stacked capacity for 12 bottles
• 6 rolling plate shelves with capacity for up to 11 Bordeaux bottles per shelf

Can the Loft 1200 be installed as a built-in, or does it have to be freestanding?

A: Both installations are supported. The unit is front-vented, meaning all airflow enters and exhausts through the front grille at the base — no clearance is needed on the sides or back. That makes it equally suited for a recessed cabinet cutout or standalone placement in a dining room, basement or kitchen. Depth with the handle is 29½”, and without the handle it is 27”, so factor the handle projection into your rough-in measurement if the unit will sit flush with surrounding cabinetry.

What are the two temperature zones, and how independently can they be controlled?

A: The upper zone is calibrated for white wines and sparkling wines and can be set between 41°F and 54°F. The lower zone is designed for red wines and runs between 54°F and 66°F. One constraint worth knowing: the upper zone must always be set at least 4°F colder than the lower zone — you cannot run both zones at the same temperature. Both zone temperatures are shown on the blue LCD display panel located inside the cabinet.

Will it hold 166 bottles if I collect Burgundy or Pinot Noir in large-format bottles?

A: The 166-bottle rating is based on standard Bordeaux-sized bottles. The shelves are designed to physically accommodate the wider Burgundy bottle profile, but capacity will be reduced when you do. If your collection skews toward Burgundy, Pinot Noir or other wide-shouldered formats, plan for a meaningfully lower count than 166. The 14 pull-out metal plate shelves do give you flexibility to rearrange shelf spacing as your collection mix changes.

What are the electrical requirements, and does it need a dedicated circuit?

A: The Loft 1200 runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit. At 296 lbs fully delivered, this unit is a permanent installation in practice, so confirming the dedicated circuit before delivery is worth doing. The refrigeration system uses R600a refrigerant, which is one of the more energy-efficient options available in this class of compressor-based wine coolers.

What does the warranty cover, and for how long?

A: The Loft 1200 carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labor and a 5-year warranty on the compressor. The unit is UL/ETL compliant. The longer compressor coverage matters here because compressor replacement on a 166-bottle cabinet is the highest-cost repair scenario — five years of protection on that component is a meaningful difference versus shorter industry-standard coverage.

What ambient temperature range does the room need to be in for the unit to perform correctly?

A: The Loft 1200 is rated to operate correctly when the surrounding room temperature stays between 60°F and 80°F. If your basement or storage space runs colder in winter or warmer in summer than that band, the unit’s ability to hold its set-point temperatures can be affected. This is a standard limitation of compressor-based wine coolers and is not unique to this model, but it is worth confirming before placing the unit in an unconditioned space.
