Loft 800 Double 188 Bottle 2-Zone Frameless #34251
Details
When a collection has grown past what a single cooler can hold — or a closet conversion can reliably manage — the Loft 800 Double is the unit to consider. Two matched Loft 800 cabinets are joined side-by-side with doors hinged to open from the center, creating four independent temperature zones and storage for up to 188 Bordeaux-size bottles in a 47½" wide footprint. The frameless infinity glass doors give the cabinet a clean, uninterrupted face that integrates naturally into a built-in installation or stands freely in a finished dining room or basement bar.
Best For
- Keeping aging reds at cellar temperature (54°F to 66°F) while whites and sparkling are chilled and ready to serve (41°F to 54°F), all within one cabinet
- Finishing a basement bar or dining room remodel that calls for a flush, frameless wine storage installation with no visible door frame
- A collection approaching 200 bottles that has outgrown a kitchen cooler and needs dedicated, zone-controlled storage without splitting into two separate units
- Consolidating into one purchase instead of two individual Loft 800 coolers, with savings built in
Configuration
Placement requirements: 60-85F ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is outside this range, the performance of the unit will be affected.
Size: 47 1/2w x 27d x 48h (in)
Shelving: 16 pull-out shelves (12 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."

Features
- Four independently controlled temperature zones: Each of the two coolers has its own upper and lower zone. Upper zones run 41–54°F for whites and sparkling; lower zones run 54–66°F for reds. The upper zone in each unit must be set at least 4°F colder than its lower zone — a constraint worth knowing before you plan your racking layout.
- Front-vented compressor system: Air intake and exhaust are both at the front, so the unit can be recessed into cabinetry or run freestanding without requiring rear clearance. Hinges are reversible on each door, which matters if you’re fitting this into a corner or a specific built-in opening.
- Infinity frameless glass doors: No visible frame around the glass panels. On each side, the door opens from the center, so both doors swing outward from the middle of the cabinet — confirm your clearance on both sides before installation.
- Rolling metal plate shelves with Burgundy accommodation: The standard plate shelves handle Bordeaux-format bottles at up to 188-bottle capacity. The contoured plate design also fits wider Burgundy bottles, though capacity drops when you mix formats. Optional presentation shelves are available separately and are visible in the product images.
- R600a refrigerant: A hydrocarbon refrigerant with lower global warming potential than older alternatives. Also runs at lower operating pressures, which contributes to quieter and more efficient compressor cycles.
- Requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit at 115V / 60Hz. Plan your electrical rough-in accordingly — this cannot share a circuit with other appliances.
- Ambient temperature operating range is 60–80°F. Performance will degrade outside that band — relevant if you’re considering a garage, unfinished basement or outdoor kitchen installation.
- Security lock with keys included; tempered, tinted double-pane glass on both doors; 1-year warranty on parts and labor with a 5-year compressor warranty; UL / ETL listed
Pairs Well With
- The optional rolling presentation shelves (sold separately) shown in Image 2 — they replace a standard plate shelf and angle bottles label-forward for quick identification without pulling bottles out.
Specs & Resources
Brand: Loft
UPC: 077757011245
Size: 47 1/2w x 27d x 48h (in)
Weight: 380 lbs
Power/Rating: 115V / 60Hz; Requires 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit
Capacity: 94 bottles per side (up to 188)
Material: Stainless-Steel
Warranty: 1-year warranty on parts and labor, and 5 years on the compressor
What These Specs Mean
- 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit requires its own breaker and outlet and cannot share a circuit with other appliances — if your installation location does not already have a dedicated 15-amp circuit, electrical work will be needed before the unit can be installed.
- R600a Refrigerant System: R600a is a low-global-warming-potential hydrocarbon refrigerant that runs at lower operating pressures than older refrigerants, which contributes to quieter operation and reduced energy consumption over the life of the unit.
Bottle Capacity
Our new rolling plate shelves with 80% extension are designed to accommodate Bordeaux and Burgundy*-size bottles in every slot. Each side includes:
- Total capacity of 188 Bordeaux-size bottles (94 per side)
- On each side, 46 bottles can be stored in the upper (colder) zone
- 22 Bottles on the top rolling shelf (double stacked and double deep)
- 12 Bottles each on 2 rolling shelves (double deep)
- On each side, 48 bottles can be stored in the lower (warmer) zone
- 12 Bottles on 3 rolling shelves (double deep)
- 6 Bottles each on 2 pull-out wire shelves (single deep)
FAQs
Can the Loft 800 Double be installed built-in, or does it have to be freestanding?
A: Either installation works. The unit is front-vented, which means it can be flush-mounted in cabinetry or used freestanding without any clearance requirements on the sides or rear. At 47½"W x 27"D x 48"H and 380 lbs, plan your rough opening carefully before delivery — and note this unit ships curbside.
What are the actual temperature ranges for each zone, and how do the zones relate to each other?
A: Each of the two coolers in this unit has its own upper and lower zone. The upper zones run from 41–54°F and are designed for whites and sparkling wines. The lower zones run from 54–66°F and are designed for reds. One important constraint: the upper zone in each cooler must be set at least 4°F colder than the lower zone. So if you set your lower zone to 58°F, the upper can go no warmer than 54°F. This is worth knowing when dialing in serving temperatures for different varietals.
The listing mentions both 188 bottles and 332 bottles — what’s the real capacity?
A: The 188-bottle figure is based on standard Bordeaux-size bottles (94 per side) using the included rolling metal plate shelves. The 332-bottle figure also references Bordeaux bottles but appears to reflect a maximum theoretical stacking configuration. If you store Burgundy-shaped bottles — with their wider shoulders — capacity will be reduced. For a mixed cellar of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa Cab and Rhône, plan around the 188-bottle baseline and treat any additional capacity as a bonus depending on your bottle mix.
What are the electrical requirements, and can it share a circuit with other appliances?
A: The Loft 800 Double runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit — it cannot share a circuit with other appliances. If you’re installing this in a finished dining room, basement or kitchen remodel, confirm the dedicated circuit is in place before the unit arrives. The R600a refrigerant system is energy-efficient, but a dedicated circuit is non-negotiable for proper compressor operation.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The warranty is 1 year on parts and labor and 5 years on the compressor. The compressor is the most expensive component to replace in any wine cooler, so the extended compressor coverage is meaningful for long-term reliability. The unit is also UL/ETL compliant, confirming it meets recognized safety and performance standards.
How is this different from buying two separate Loft 800 single-unit wine coolers?
A: The Loft 800 Double is two Loft 800 coolers joined as a matched pair, with the doors hinged to open from the center for a symmetrical, furniture-like appearance. Beyond aesthetics, it saves $100 compared to purchasing two individual units and ships as a single coordinated piece. The frameless infinity glass doors and flush meeting point in the center give it a cleaner look than two separately purchased units placed side by side.
