More from this brandAll NutriChef freestanding wine cellarsOverview
The NutriChef PKCWCDS185.5 is an 18-bottle dual-zone wine fridge, meaning it splits into two compartments that hold separate temperatures between 41F and 64F, sized at 32 x 13 x 19 inches for freestanding placement.
The dual-zone layout is the main difference from NutriChef's single-zone models: it lets someone store reds and whites at their own serving temperatures in the same unit instead of settling on one compromise setting.
- Holds 18 standard bottles (up to 50.9 liters)
- Dual zone, 41F to 64F independent ranges
- 32 x 13 x 19 inch freestanding cabinet
- Compressor fan cooling with circulation fan and vent grill
Who it's for
Fits anyone who regularly drinks both red and white wine and wants both stored at proper temperature without buying two separate fridges. Less relevant for someone who only ever stores one wine type, where a single-zone model would be simpler.
Pros and cons
- Dual zones let reds and whites sit at different temperatures
- Fits a meaningful bottle count without a large footprint
- Digital touch control for temperature and light
- Glass door frame is plastic rather than metal
Performance notes
Two compartments run independently within the 41F to 64F range via the digital touch panel, backed by a compressor fan cooling system with a circulation fan and ventilation grill.
