Loft 800 Double Wine Cooler 188 Bottle #34250
Details
When a single-door cooler no longer keeps pace with a collection that spans Bordeaux, Burgundy and white Burgundy simultaneously, the Loft 800 Double is where serious collectors land. Two matched Loft 800 units are joined side-by-side with center-hinged doors, giving you four independently controlled temperature zones in a footprint that fits a dining room niche, a finished basement or a dedicated cellar alcove — and saves $100 over buying each cabinet separately. Whites and sparkling wines hold between 41–54°F in the upper zones while reds rest at 54–66°F in the lower zones, with each unit requiring at least a 4°F spread between its own upper and lower settings.
The rolling metal plate shelves are the real operational advantage here: they accommodate Bordeaux-format stacking at up to 188 bottles across both units, and reconfigure to accept larger Burgundy bottles when your collection demands it. Optional rolling presentation shelves are sold separately for those who want easier access during service. The stainless doors have seamless corners and a fingerprint-proof coating, tempered double-pane tinted glass cuts UV exposure, and front venting means the cabinet installs flush in cabinetry without any clearance compromises. Reversible hinges add placement flexibility that matters when you’re working around an existing room layout.
Best For
- Running reds at cellar temperature and whites at serving temperature from the same cabinet pair, without managing two separate single-zone units
- Installing flush into cabinetry during a dining room or basement remodel where front venting is required
- Storing a mixed Bordeaux and Burgundy collection, using the plate shelves to shift between bottle formats as the collection changes
- Pulling a decanted red from the lower zone and a chilled Chablis from the upper zone for the same dinner without leaving the room
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 (without handle) 29 1/2d (with handle) 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
- 4 independently controlled temperature zones: Each of the two cabinets runs its own dual-zone system — upper zones for whites and sparkling (41–54°F) and lower zones for reds (54–66°F). Note that within each cabinet, the upper zone must be set at least 4°F colder than the lower zone; this constraint affects how tightly you can bracket temperatures if aging wines that require closely matched conditions.
- Front-vented for flexible placement: Works as a freestanding unit or fully recessed into cabinetry without additional clearance. No rear or side ventilation is required.
- Dedicated 15-amp circuit required: Plan electrical before roughing in a built-in installation — 115V / 60Hz, and the circuit must be dedicated to this unit.
- Rolling metal plate shelves with Burgundy-bottle support: Standard capacity is rated at 188 Bordeaux-size bottles (94 per side), but shelves are sized to accommodate wider Burgundy-format bottles — which will reduce total bottle count. Optional rolling presentation shelves are available separately for display-oriented configurations.
- R600a refrigerant system: A low global-warming-potential refrigerant associated with quieter operation and lower energy draw compared to older R134a-based systems.
- Stainless steel doors with seamless corners and fingerprint-proof coating; tinted, tempered double-pane glass limits UV exposure to stored bottles
- Reversible hinges on each cabinet allow door swing to be reconfigured for site-specific installation
- Security lock with keys included on each unit; 1-year warranty on parts and labor and 5-year warranty on the compressor
Specs & Resources
Brand: Loft

What These Specs Mean
- R600a System: Isobutane-based refrigerant that operates at lower pressure than older refrigerants, contributing to quieter running and reduced energy draw compared to conventional compressor systems.
- 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit cannot share a circuit with other appliances — installation requires a dedicated breaker and outlet, a factor to plan for during any remodel or cabinet build-out.
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 flush in cabinetry, or does it have to be freestanding?
A: Either works. The unit is front-vented, so it does not need rear or side clearance to exhaust heat. That means it can sit freestanding or recessed into a cabinet cutout for a built-in look. Just keep in mind that depth with the handle is 29½" and without the handle is 27" — factor the handle into your rough opening if you want a flush finish.
How many temperature zones does this unit actually have, and what are the exact ranges?
A: There are 4 independent temperature zones in total — two per cooler, controlled separately on each side. The upper zones handle whites and sparkling wines and can be set from 41–54°F. The lower zones are for reds and run from 54–66°F. One constraint to plan for: the upper zone in each cooler must be set at least 4°F colder than that cooler’s lower zone. Ambient room temperature must stay between 60–80°F for the unit to perform within spec.
What is the real bottle capacity, and what happens if I store Burgundy-shaped bottles?
A: The rated capacity is 188 Bordeaux-size bottles total — 94 per side. The rolling metal plate shelves are sized to physically accommodate wider Burgundy bottles, but storing them will reduce the total count below 188. If your cellar skews heavily toward Burgundy or Rhône, plan your layout accordingly rather than assuming full capacity.
What are the electrical requirements, and do I need a dedicated circuit?
A: The unit runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit. At 486 lbs fully installed, electrical and placement planning should happen before delivery. Do not share the circuit with other appliances.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The warranty is tiered: 1 year on parts and labor, and 5 years on the compressor. The longer compressor coverage matters because the R600a compressor system is the component most likely to require service on a unit this size.
How does buying this double unit compare to buying two separate Loft 800 coolers?
A: The double configuration saves $100 compared to purchasing two individual Loft 800 units. Beyond price, the doors are hinged to open from the center, giving you a unified look and a single footprint at 47½" wide x 48" tall. The shelving system includes rolling metal plate shelves, and optional presentation shelves are available separately if you want a display-oriented configuration on one or both sides.
