OVERALL: The Bosch B24IW50NSP Wine Column Wine Refrigerator is definitely not one for the masses. If you take your wine collection seriously, however, then this beautiful custom paneled unit might just be the perfect choice for you. And with Bosch's reputation for making high quality refrigeration units, this wine refrigertor should give you years of uninterrupted service.
PROS: QUIET! -- Oh boy, is this one of the quietest wine refrigerators we tested. Seriously. We had to check it twice to make sure it was actually running. The mechanics of this wine chiller are so well insulated, it does a remarkable job at keeping all noises inside.
This Bosch wine chiller has a dual temperature, an electronic control panel and the Bosch Max Bright System which allows you to clearly see your entire wine inventory with just a glance.
This wine refrigerator has the OPTIFLEX Hinge which is designed to open out and away from the cabinetry. This ingenious hinge construction allows doors to be mounted flush and open to 115 degrees without touching or nicking surrounding cabinets.
The OPTIFLEX hinge can actually support up to 200 lbs., which gives you the flexibility to apply custom paneling.
The "Sabbath Mode" allows you to shut down the fridge during specific hours of the day or week.
CONS: The glass panel door allows a lot of natural light to seep into the front of the wine chiller. We recommend placing this unit away from any natural light, or to be sure to add a UV coating to the front of the door.
