Additionally, at a mere 37 decibels, it ranks as one of the quietest integrated wine fridges available at this price point.
Push to open, self ventilating and with pantograph hinges, this wine fridge can be built flush against carpentry without the need for ventilation panels. The telescopic shelves are easy to use and operate smoothly. The changeable LED lighting, cool white, warm white or amber is attractive to suit different moods.
