Summit SWC530LBI Under-Counter Dual-Zone Wine Refrigerator Review
Not every home is made with a private wine cellar, but that doesn’t mean every wine lover doesn’t deserve their own space for their private collection. If you can’t build a temperature controlled room just for your wine you have to go with a roomy, well designed wine refrigerator instead.
The Summit SWC530LBI wine refrigerator is a great option because it is easy on the budget, easy on the eye, easy on space, and of course very easy on the wine. Though this is not the cheapest wine cellar or refrigerator on the market it is a very affordable option for the technology and features included as well as the quality and amount of space it offers.
You can store up to 46 bottles of wine in this refrigerator, so it is more than just a small cooler for your private wine collection. This is a very elegantly designed small refrigerator designed to slip underneath a counter to help conserve space. This is a nice design because it allows you to incorporate the refrigerator into your kitchen or another room easily without giving up counter space or having it sticking out like a sore thumb.
Of course, if you would rather have it sitting on its own without the covering of a countertop it can serve in that way as well. This is where selecting the correct color for the refrigerator becomes important. The SWC530BLI wine refrigerator from Summit comes in black and stainless steel.
The design of this cooler is very attractive as well, so you will want it in your kitchen. The front door is made from one large pane of glass so you can see the wine inside. This gives it a very open, elegant look that clearly displays your wine collection. This also makes it easy to notice when you need to restock the refrigerator.
There are six shelves to hold the wine and each is lined with an elegant stained wood at the end. The wood is what you see through the window when looking it, so it is a more orderly, attractive view than you would get from a refrigerator with more basic wire racks. These shelves are also very secure so you don’t have to worry about your wine bottles dropping, hitting together, or otherwise spilling out.
One very nice feature that must be pointed out is the dual thermostats. Rather than having just one thermostat to control the interior temperature to one setting, you can select two different temperatures for different regions of the refrigerator. This allows you to store red and white wines in the same refrigerator, each to their required temperatures.
The ability to keep different types of wine with two different temperature settings is the big advantage of ordering a larger wine refrigerator versus a smaller wine cellar or cooler. When you invest in something larger like this one you can not only store more wine in a very attractive, efficient manner, but you can store a variety of wine in the same space without worrying some will be incorrectly chilled.
The Summit SWC530LBI 24 inch wine refrigerator is perfect for wine enthusiasts who drink and store a lot of wine as well as for those who entertain on a regular basis. The versatility to slip this refrigerator under a countertop or just stand it on its own ensures that it fits nicely into any home.
