Studio 800 Double Frameless 188 Bottle #36771
Details
When a single cooler no longer covers the breadth of a growing collection, this IWA-exclusive pairing of two Studio 800 single-zone units answers the problem directly. The two coolers share a unified footprint — 47½ inches wide, 48 inches tall — with center-hinged doors and independently programmable temperature controls on each side, so your Burgundy and your Napa Cab don’t have to compromise. Front-ducted throughout, the unit installs flush in a cabinetry recess or stands freely without clearance modifications, which makes it a practical choice for a dining room build-out or a finished basement bar.
The frameless glass doors are double-pane, tinted and tempered, keeping UV out and consistent cold in. Inside, the sliding wire shelves with wood trim pull out fully and accommodate both Bordeaux and wider Burgundy-format bottles without any reconfiguration — exactly what a mixed cellar demands. Interior LED lighting, a security lock with key and a blue LCD temperature display are standard on each unit, and the R600a compressor is both energy-efficient and CEC/DOE compliant. Capacity is rated at 188 Bordeaux bottles total (94 per side); larger-format bottles will reduce that number, which is worth factoring if your collection runs heavily to magnums.
Best For
- Storing reds and whites at different temperatures within a single built-in installation
- Collections in the 100–200 bottle range that have outgrown a single cooler and need room to grow
- A dining room or basement bar remodel where a flush, frameless front matters as much as the specs inside
- Running Bordeaux and wider Burgundy bottles side-by-side without swapping out shelving
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: 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 programmable single-zone units: Each side operates as a self-contained cooler with its own thermostat, so you can set different temperatures on the left and right — useful if you want to age reds on one side and hold whites at serving temperature on the other.
- Front-ducted ventilation: Exhaust exits through the front grille, meaning no rear or side clearance is required. The unit can be flush-installed in cabinetry without modification.
- 18 pull-out shelves (14 rolling): Wire shelves with wood trim rails slide out for full access to bottles at the back — a practical advantage over fixed-shelf designs when you’re rotating stock regularly.
- R600a compressor refrigerant: This low-global-warming-potential refrigerant runs efficiently and quietly compared to older refrigerants, which matters in living spaces or finished basements where noise is a consideration.
- Double-pane tinted and tempered glass: Tinting blocks UV exposure; double-pane construction provides thermal insulation at the door, which is where most temperature-controlled cabinets lose efficiency.
- Ambient temperature requirement: The unit is rated to perform within a 60–85°F ambient range. Performance will degrade outside this range — a relevant constraint for unconditioned garages or unfinished spaces.
- Electrical planning note: Requires 115V / 60Hz on a 15-amp dedicated circuit. Since this is two separate units bundled side-by-side, verify your installation space has the appropriate circuit capacity before delivery.
- 1-year warranty on parts and labor; 5-year warranty on the compressor
- Security door lock with key included on each unit
- UL / ETL listed; CEC and DOE energy compliant
Pairs Well With
- The Studio 800 owner’s manual covers shelf configuration and thermostat programming for each unit — worth reading before installation to confirm circuit and clearance requirements.

What These Specs Mean
- R600a refrigerant: This cooling agent has a lower environmental impact than traditional refrigerants.
- Front-ducted: Ventilation is located at the front so the unit can be installed into cabinetry without needing extra clearance for airflow.
- 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: The unit requires its own electrical circuit to ensure consistent power.
FAQs
Can the Studio 800 Double be installed as a built-in, or does it have to be freestanding?
A: It can be installed either way. The unit is front-ducted, meaning all ventilation exits from the front, so it does not need clearance behind or on the sides. This makes it fully compatible with a built-in cabinet cutout or a furniture surround. Freestanding placement is equally supported. The combined footprint is 47½" wide x 27" deep x 48" tall, so plan your rough opening accordingly before installation.
Are the two sides independently temperature-controlled, or is it one zone across the whole unit?
A: Each of the two Studio 800 coolers is independently programmable as its own single zone. You can run the left side at a long-term aging temperature for reds and the right side at a cooler serving temperature for whites, or configure both identically — whatever your cellar strategy calls for. Temperature is displayed on the blue LCD panel inside each cooler and can be read in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
The spec says 188 bottles — does that hold up with Burgundy or larger-format bottles in the mix?
A: The 188-bottle figure is based on standard Bordeaux-sized bottles. The sliding wire shelves are specifically designed to accommodate wider Burgundy-style bottles as well, but mixing in larger formats will reduce total count. Each side holds up to 94 Bordeaux bottles. If your collection runs heavily toward Burgundy, Champagne magnums or other wide-shoulder formats, expect real-world capacity to come in noticeably lower than the rated spec.
What are the electrical requirements, and does this need a dedicated circuit?
A: Yes — the unit requires a dedicated 15-Amp circuit at 115V / 60Hz. It cannot share a circuit with other appliances. If you are installing this in a finished space like a dining room or basement bar, confirm with your electrician that a dedicated outlet is in place before delivery. At 380 lbs, repositioning after installation is not a simple task.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The Studio 800 Double carries a 1-year warranty covering parts and labor, plus an extended 5-year warranty on the compressor. The compressor is the most expensive component to replace in any refrigeration unit, so the 5-year coverage is worth noting when comparing against competitors. Keep your purchase documentation — warranty service will require proof of purchase.
What ambient temperature range does the room need to be in for this cooler to perform correctly?
A: The unit is designed to operate in ambient conditions between 60°F and 85°F. If your installation space — an uninsulated basement, a garage or an outdoor-adjacent room — regularly falls below or above that range, cooling performance will be affected and the compressor may work harder than intended. A climate-controlled interior space is strongly recommended for reliable long-term operation.
