Studio 800 Double Stainless 188 Bottle #36770
Details
When a single cooler no longer keeps pace with a growing collection, this IWA-exclusive pairing of two Studio 800 units offers a serious solution in a single footprint. The two stainless steel cabinets are joined side-by-side with doors hinged to open from the center, each independently programmable — so you can hold reds at cellar temperature on one side and keep whites or service-ready bottles at a different setting on the other. Front-ducted airflow means the unit installs cleanly as a built-in or stands freely, and at nearly four feet wide it holds up to 188 Bordeaux-size bottles across both sides.
The sliding wire shelves handle both Bordeaux and Burgundy formats without adjustment, and the double-pane tinted tempered glass protects against light while keeping the collection visible. Stainless doors carry a fingerprint-proof coating with reversible hinges for flexible placement, and the compressor runs on R600a refrigerant — an efficient choice that performs cleanly within a 60–85°F ambient range. Each unit includes an interior LED, security lock and key, and the blue LCD panel inside each door shows the active temperature at a glance. Bundled pricing saves $100 over buying both units separately.
Best For
- Finishing a basement or remodeling a dining room where 150–200 bottles need proper storage and a built-in-capable footprint matters
- Running reds and whites simultaneously at different temperatures without compromising either side
- Consolidating a collection that has outgrown one or two smaller coolers into a single organized unit
- Replacing a closet conversion or kitchen cooler when the collection crosses the 100-bottle threshold and long-term storage conditions become a real concern
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 29 1/2d (with handle) 27d (without handle) x 48h (in)
Shelving: 18 pull-out shelves (14 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
- Two independently controlled single-zone compartments: Each 92-bottle side is programmed separately, so you can run one at long-term cellaring temperature and the other closer to serving temperature without a second unit.
- 18 pull-out shelves (14 rolling): Sliding wire construction accommodates both Bordeaux and wide-shouldered Burgundy bottles. The 188-bottle capacity figure is based on Bordeaux sizing — factor down if your collection skews toward larger formats.
- Front-ducted airflow: Exhaust exits through the front grille, not the rear or sides, which is what makes flush built-in installation possible. Depth without the handle is 27"; with handle, 29.5".
- R600a compressor refrigerant: Compressor-based cooling delivers tighter, more consistent temperature control than thermoelectric alternatives. R600a also has a lower global warming potential than older refrigerant types.
- Dedicated 15-amp circuit required (115V / 60Hz): This is a hard electrical requirement. If you are finishing a basement or remodeling a dining room, confirm the circuit is in place before the unit ships.
- Ambient temperature range 60–85°F: Performance is rated for this window. Uninsulated garages, unconditioned basements or outdoor-adjacent spaces that drop below 60°F in winter can affect cooling accuracy.
- Double-pane, tinted and tempered door glass; stainless frame with fingerprint-resistant coating and reversible hinges on each door
- Interior LED lighting and keyed security lock included on each side
- UL / ETL listed; CEC and DOE energy compliant
- Purchasing the double bundle saves $100 compared to buying two Studio 800 units separately

- 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit cannot share a breaker with other appliances; a dedicated 15-amp circuit is required, which may mean scheduling an electrician before installation.
FAQs
Can the Studio 800 Double be installed as a built-in, or does it need clearance around the sides?
A: The Studio 800 Double is front-ducted, so it can be installed either as a freestanding unit or fully built-in with cabinetry flush on the sides and top. Because all ventilation exits through the front grille, no side or rear clearance is required. The overall footprint is 47½" wide x 27" deep (without handle) x 48" tall — verify rough opening dimensions before committing to a built-in installation.
Are the two sides truly independent, or do they share a single thermostat?
A: Each of the two units operates as its own single-zone cooler with its own compressor and control panel. You can program each side to a different temperature independently, which makes this configuration useful for storing reds on one side and whites on the other at different set points. Neither side is a true dual-zone unit, but together the pair effectively gives you two separately controlled storage environments in one footprint.
The listed capacity is 188 bottles — does that hold up with Burgundy-shaped bottles?
A: The 188-bottle figure is based on standard Bordeaux-size bottles. Burgundy and other wider-shouldered bottles will reduce usable capacity because they take up more shelf width. The sliding wire shelves are designed to accommodate Burgundy shapes, so the bottles will fit physically — you simply won't hit the full 188-bottle count with a mixed or Burgundy-heavy collection. Plan for a meaningful reduction if a significant portion of your cellar is Burgundy, Rhône or similarly wide formats.
What are the electrical requirements, and can it run on a shared circuit?
A: The unit runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit — one for each cooler since this is two independent units side-by-side. Do not run either cooler on a shared circuit with other appliances. If you are planning a built-in installation or a basement finish, factor in two dedicated circuits at the rough-in stage.
What does the warranty cover, and how long does it last?
A: The Studio 800 Double carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labor and a separate 5-year warranty on the compressor. The extended compressor coverage is relevant because compressor replacement is the most expensive potential repair on a unit of this size and weight.
What ambient temperature range does the room need to be in for the cooler to perform correctly?
A: The installation environment should stay between 60°F and 85°F. Outside that range — an uninsulated garage that drops below 60°F in winter or a room that climbs above 85°F in summer — the unit's ability to hold its set temperature will be compromised. Basements and climate-controlled dining rooms typically fall within spec; unconditioned spaces should be evaluated before installation.
