I will be doing a full wine fridge review. We will be going through set-up, capacity, noise, look, and of course usefulness.

you didn’t think I’ll be here so soon
with another wine fridge but I am hi
it’s today in the song Next Door and
today we’re doing another unboxing with
the new Air 24 bottle French door dual
wine fridge if you like this video
please hit that Thumbs Up Button
subscribe to my channel and
let’s open this baby up I should be
getting really good at this right
oops
oh I just shocked myself
I feel like as much as I like having
this on my rolly thing I think I need to
take it down
okay okay okay NBD
that was horrible technique that’s why I
really bad for your back do not do that
at home let’s get a closer look oh I see
that anything was like with handles that
stick out we’re going to do it ourselves
hmm wow these doors come all the way
back we’ve got some instructions here
and the two door handles oh they gave us
screws this time you guys haven’t
watched my California wine video I also
had to put on the door handles on that
one again a little bit more effort
and I think it’s like pretty
self-explanatory that you’re just gonna
screw these but let me read and just
make sure because you know like Ikea
furniture when you go Rogue sometimes it
bites you in the butt I can’t actually
find any instructions on how to uh put
the handles on I think they’re literally
like hey just
screwed it
so let’s try that and if I can do it you
guys anyone can do it because I am not
I’m not the handy one
oh how do you do this
hidden okay yes
oh it’s hidden behind the door I was
able to get this one
through you can kind of see it really
really close like this one was not not
that bad but I’m telling you that other
one was not easy
foreign
door handle was a little bit easier than
this side I don’t know why it’s really
hard for me to thread this
all right it is let’s see how long this
is going to take me this is 12 45 12 45
and I’m gonna try to put on this other
door handle
and I’ll be back
all right I’m kind of embarrassed that
took me four minutes
I was able to threat like it was
threading this top
screw which was giving me so much
trouble okay so finally have my handles
it wasn’t that bad
I’m just being a drama queen it is very
snug to get my finger like I can’t like
my fingers get kind of stuck trying to
open this I wish like the handles were
slightly more this way because you can’t
even stick your finger in between like
they get caught
compared to the other
wine fridges this um cord is pretty
short so I mean
not that like most people will have this
really far away from a wall or whatever
the other ones were I I know for a fact
much longer because I was able to reach
them to the wall ports and this one I
can’t so that’s why I have an extension
cord let’s turn this baby on and I
actually think you know how for the
California it was like oh one side
should be white and one other side
should be red I think these are
interchangeable
which is nice unlock the panel by
pressing this
button with the little cogs for two
seconds
a beep will alert you the panel has been
unlocked okay there we go so I’m gonna
make this side let’s make this
50. so let’s do this side two so one
one let’s make this like 60.
and
unlike the californ
which was like one of my complaints it’s
like this actually tells you like where
what temperature the fridge is at so
plus right now says 69 and it started at
70 degrees
so I like that feature we do have wire
racks in here these racks you can take
out and there’s a lot of space plus this
bottom space down here which is good for
champagnes
or just bigger bottles we’re gonna let
this chill out get to temperature
then I’m going to see if 24 bottles can
fit in here I’m pretty confident I think
unlike the wine enthusiasts 24 in this
space now that I have I’m getting better
since this is my fourth wine fridge I’m
getting better at like kind of feeling
oh is this spacious is this gonna be
really tight I think this is going to be
pretty spacious and that 24 bottles will
comfortably fit
our temperatures are set 50 and 60. so
we are going to put in 24 bottles into
here and I do have
long
reasoning bottles and also just very
random size like big bottles in case you
I don’t know have weird size bottles
don’t ask my dad bought this
at Trader Joe’s or something it’s like a
Peach Moscato and he didn’t like it so I
just so I emptied it but I think it’s a
good
bottle for demonstration to make sure
and really test this out but we do have
bigger bottles compared to a Bordeaux so
actual Bordeaux bottle as you can see
this one is much taller
in size similarly we have fat or
squatter bottles
compared to the Bordeaux standard I
really need to buy more wine since now I
have tripled my capacity of how much I
can uh hold so that’s exciting so
technically right it should be 12 and
12.
right right
okay
all right and maybe because it’s two and
two lots of space
no issues so far
oh this is this is the piece of cake
okay compared to some of the other ones
I’ve done
so spacious
so easy
all right what if we had a really fat
one no
no
that was rejected
but fatter bottles are fitting in
going in very smoothly
we’ll see
okay all right so I would say yes these
fat ones are probably gonna have to go
down down here oh but I don’t think I
don’t know if we can do two fat ones
it’s not very happy down here
test
a Riesling bottle actually up here
and I have a bottle that’s already open
let’s see if we can
all right it’s not pretty down here
[Music]
as you can see but uh
we could get these in
foreign
there we go let’s go to this side
just put these babies in
I will save all the wine sludges this is
probably the easiest one literally don’t
even think about it just plopping them
in wow and then I’m gonna put
my fat open one on the bottom
maybe I’ll stick a Riesling
the Riesling can fit down here as well
so there we go
[Music]
wow
so I’m pleasantly surprised at how easy
that was that was so so easy the only
thing I noticed is that you could
probably fit Max two champagne bottles
in here because you can’t fit down here
you can’t fit four champagne bottles
it’s now that I think about it you could
probably lower this down you can lower
this lower shelf down there’s another
rivet
but then that might hinder your ability
to put more bottles down here
but no this was probably the easiest
task of putting it in super spacious
between the racks did not feel like I
was shoving in or really fighting it was
really really smooth I did that so
quickly this new air fridge it looks
really pretty
all right
okay everybody I’m back it’s been a week
or so with my new air French door 24
bottle compressor and I want to give you
my final thoughts on the wine fridge I
really feel like I’m becoming a
connoisseur of wine Bridges don’t you
after like you know really letting it
sink in and looking at all my other wine
fridges I am actually like shocked that
this might be the biggest
wine fridge like size wise this says
it’s for like 24 bottles and like
there’s a reason why those bottles just
fit in so smoothly I was just like wow
I’m not fighting with the wire racks or
trying to like really figure out where
the bottles go they just fit because new
air was like Hey bottles are big and
different in sizes and we’re gonna make
sure that all of them fit in here so
like thank you so much new air because
like how is this is 24 bottles and then
the Wine Enthusiast which is like
around the same size it’s 36 bottles how
does 12 bottles just magically
fit in the same capacity right they all
have to be the small Bordeaux bottles
which is like just false advertising in
my humble opinion so I’m really happy
with how easily these bottles went in we
don’t have to worry Riesling bottles big
California bottles champagne bottles or
whatever unlike the California I really
like that it will actually tell you the
temperature within it’s been so so
consistent compared to like my wine
enthusiasts I see like the fluctuations
but this fridge maybe because you know
they say it’s like very tightly sealed
there’s very little fluctuation once you
set the temperature which
really big plus I will do like that I
will say the hum is a little bit just
like a smidge louder than my other
fridges but again like I have mine
exposed and if I put it against the wall
I feel like that would kind of lighten
the sound the thing that I really am not
a fan about is just these handles but I
really think like design wise if they
were just even like a couple centimeters
apart it would just make
it’s just easier to open look wise so
nice so if this looks like a wine fridge
for you you know go down below for my
link and my discount for this new air 24
bottle French door compressor cheers it
guys I’ll catch you guys later

  1. I purchased this wine cooler from Home Depot 12/11/23 it came damaged with a big dent on the sides. Putting the handles on were a bit tricky and the compressor is pretty loud. I paid 514.00 and I honestly feel for the price it could have been better
