Studio 400 Wine Cooler 46 Bottle #36651
Details
When you're outfitting a dining room, a home bar or a second property and need a dedicated cooler that installs flush under a counter or stands on its own, the Studio 400 handles either without modification. The front-vented cabinet is genuinely flexible in that regard, and the fingerprint-proof stainless door with double-pane tinted tempered glass keeps the interior protected from light and ambient temperature swings. At 46 bottles based on Bordeaux sizing, this unit is sized for active rotation rather than deep cellaring: the bottles you're pulling this month, not the cases you're aging for a decade.
The R600a compressor runs efficiently and quietly, the blue LCD panel inside makes it easy to confirm your set point at a glance, and the security lock with key is a practical touch if the cooler sits in a more accessible or shared space. Wood-trimmed sliding wire shelves accommodate different bottle formats, so Burgundy and larger Rhône bottles fit alongside standard Bordeaux without forcing you to rearrange the whole cabinet. A replaceable charcoal filter keeps interior air clean, and the reversible door hinge gives you real flexibility in tighter installations.
Best For
- Installing under a bar counter or kitchen island during a remodel where a front-vented built-in fit is required
- Keeping 40+ bottles at a single consistent serving temperature in a living room, dining room or home bar where the unit will be on display
- Outfitting a second home where one temperature zone covers the reds and whites you open on a given weekend
- Rotating near-term bottles out of a larger cellar into a more accessible cooled spot closer to the table
Configuration
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 25d (with handle) 22 1/2d (without handle) x 34 1/4h (in)
Shelving: 6 pull-out shelves (5 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
- Single temperature zone: The entire cabinet holds one set point, which suits a service-ready collection. If you store both long-aging reds and whites at different temperatures simultaneously, you’ll want a dual-zone unit instead.
- R600a compressor: This refrigerant runs at lower operating pressures than older R134a systems, which translates to reduced vibration inside the cabinet — a meaningful difference for bottles you’re aging over years, not weeks.
- 46-bottle capacity is Bordeaux-based: Standard 750ml Bordeaux-shaped bottles fill the count. Burgundy, Pinot Noir and Champagne bottles are wider and will reduce usable capacity noticeably — plan accordingly if your collection skews that way.
- Front-vented for true built-in use: Heat exhausts through the front grille, not the sides or rear. This means the unit can be recessed under a counter or into cabinetry without side clearance requirements, though verify your rough opening against the 23 3⁄4”W × 22 1⁄2”D × 34 1⁄4”H dimensions.
- Requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit: 115V / 60Hz with its own breaker. Factor this into any remodel or installation plan before the unit arrives.
- Reversible door hinges allow left- or right-hand swing to fit your space.
- Replaceable charcoal filter keeps interior air clean — consult the owner’s manual for recommended replacement intervals.
- Compressor warranty is 5 years; parts and labor covered for 1 year. UL / ETL listed; CEC and DOE energy compliant.
Pairs Well With
- A replacement charcoal filter — keep one on hand so air quality doesn’t lapse between service intervals.

What These Specs Mean
- 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit cannot share a circuit with other appliances — a separate dedicated outlet is required, which may involve electrical work if one is not already in place at the installation site.
- 5-Year Compressor Warranty: The compressor carries a significantly longer warranty than general parts and labor, reflecting manufacturer confidence in the core refrigeration component — typically the most costly element to repair or replace.
FAQs
Can the Studio 400 be installed as a built-in under a counter, or does it need to be freestanding?
A: Both. The Studio 400 is front-vented, which means it exhausts heat through the front grille rather than the sides or rear. That design allows it to be recessed under a counter or into cabinetry without airflow restrictions, or placed freestanding in a living space or bar area. The unit measures 23 3/4”W × 22 1/2”D × 34 1/4”H — note that the handle adds another 2 1/2” in depth, which matters for flush-fit cabinetry planning.
The 46-bottle rating — is that realistic for Burgundy or Napa Cabernet bottles?
A: The 46-bottle capacity is based on standard Bordeaux-shaped bottles, which have a relatively slim profile. Burgundy bottles, larger-format Napa Cabs and anything with a wider shoulder will reduce that count. The unit has 6 pull-out shelves (5 rolling) with sliding wire construction designed to accommodate different shapes, but if your collection runs heavy toward wide-shouldered bottles, plan on a realistic usable capacity closer to 35–40 bottles.
What are the electrical requirements, and does it need a dedicated circuit?
A: The Studio 400 runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit. If you’re doing a built-in installation or finishing a basement bar, factor that into your electrical rough-in. A shared circuit with other appliances can cause voltage fluctuations that affect compressor performance and long-term reliability.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The warranty is 1 year on parts and labor, plus an extended 5-year warranty on the compressor specifically. The compressor coverage matters here because the Studio 400 uses an R600a compressor — the most maintenance-sensitive and costly component in any refrigeration unit — so five years on that component is a meaningful backstop.
This is a single-zone unit — what temperature range does it hold, and is that limiting if you store both reds and whites?
A: The Studio 400 is a single temperature zone cooler, meaning the entire interior holds one set temperature. The display is a blue LCD panel inside the unit and allows you to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius. If you’re storing a mixed cellar — reds and whites you pull for service — a single zone works well set around 55°F as a holding temperature. For simultaneous service-ready whites and reds at different temps, you would need a dual-zone unit.
What protective features does it have for wine stored long-term?
A: Several. The door glass is double-pane, tinted and tempered — tinting blocks UV exposure that degrades wine over time, and the double-pane construction helps maintain stable interior temperatures. A replaceable charcoal filter keeps interior air clean, which matters for corks and aromatic compounds. The unit also includes interior LED lighting (low heat output vs. incandescent) and a security door lock with key included in the box.
