Our verdict
A small freestanding cooler for a bar, kitchen or office that needs 28 bottles on a compressor and can use a stated size and 6 shelves. Look elsewhere if you want a built-in under-counter format, a dual zone or a listed weight and power draw. Main caution: the 40dB and preservation claims come from the store, and the page names no test.
- Best for
- A bar, kitchen or office that wants a freestanding 28 bottle compressor cooler with a stated size.
- Skip if
- You want a dual zone, a built-in fit or a listed weight and power draw.
Why 3.4/5: The stated size, shelf count and temperature range give it some footing. Against that stand a page built from feature copy alone, policy text that differs from the store's product pages, negative Trustpilot feedback about support and no independent test of this model.
Matte black and freestanding, the 28 Bottle Compressor Wine Cooler is listed at $359.99 and measures 16.9 (W) x 17.7 (D) x 33.07 (H) inches. The page gives a 41F to 64.4F range, 6 removable shelves, a double-paned glass door, a built-in fan and automatic defrost. It also claims 40dB operation and wine preservation up to 2X longer than thermoelectric coolers; both are the store's statements. No weight or power draw is listed.

Shipping, returns and warranty
Shipping: the shipping page offers free standard shipping around mainland US from US warehouses (the FAQ names California, Texas and Pennsylvania), with 1 business day of processing, a tracking email once the order ships, and no delivery to PO, APO or FPO addresses; the address cannot be changed after shipment. Some products can go to Canada, Germany and Italy for an extra $35 (8 to 15 business days) or to the UK for an extra $60, while the FAQ says every product ships to the continental US, only part of the range to Canada and only the detachable battery to Europe. Returns: an order can be cancelled within 24 hours by email or phone; after it ships a double shipping fee comes off the refund and a 2% transaction fee may apply. A return within 30 days needs an email to [email protected] for a return authorization first, an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, and shipping back within 7 days of the refund confirmation to the Rancho Cucamonga, California address; the buyer pays the shipping, while for a defective or damaged item the store says it refunds the shipping fee after photos or video. Orders bought from Amazon, Walmart or other resellers are not covered. Exchanges within 30 days carry a restocking fee and shipping that vary by brand. The page gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, and the FAQ says 1 to 3. Warranty: the warranty page promises 2 years on products bought directly from bodegacooler.com, with the exact period on the last page of the manual, and also says a 1-year warranty extends to 2 years by registering the product (the FAQ says register within 10 days of purchase); it covers defects in materials and workmanship, not misuse, accidents or unauthorized repair, and not products from third-party sellers. Some product pages state other terms, such as a 5-year compressor warranty with 1 year on the rest, 24 months on the compressor and accessories, or a 5-year product warranty. Payment: Klarna, American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa, plus regional methods such as Boleto, THAI QR PromptPay, Rabbit LINE Pay and ShopeePay, according to the FAQ.
Before you buy
The page shows no customer reviews. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) bodegacooler.com is a claimed profile with a TrustScore of 2.6 from 16 reviews, 25% five-star and 69% one-star; the company rarely replies, and the newest reviews (August and September 2026) describe a 100-quart unit with about 60 quarts usable, a replacement that froze the fridge side, and unanswered support. A June 2026 review of a 3-door Bodega cooler sold on Amazon (The Inventory, which names no model code and may not cover this item) cites a 2.5/5 TrustScore and reports of damaged units and slow support. A web search found no BBB profile. The bodegacooler.com domain was registered on 27 May 2019. The store's FAQ says only one promotion code can be used per order and offers new customers 12% off fridges for subscribing to its newsletter, and some pages advertise their own sales and codes.

Questions before you buy
How big is it and how many shelves does it have?
The page gives 16.9 (W) x 17.7 (D) x 33.07 (H) inches and 6 removable shelves. No weight is listed.
What does the page say about temperature and sound?
A 41F to 64.4F range with a digital temperature panel. The page says it operates at 40dB, which is the store's own claim; no measured sound level is given.
Does it defrost by itself?
The page says an automatic defrost system prevents ice buildup and reduces maintenance. It also lists 6 removable shelves and soft LED white lighting.
Where does Bodega Cooler ship and how fast?
Free standard shipping covers mainland US from warehouses in the US, with 1 business day of processing; no PO, APO or FPO addresses. Some products can go to Canada, Germany, Italy (+$35, 8 to 15 business days) and the UK (+$60), but the FAQ lists fewer destinations, so check the product before ordering abroad.
What is the return window?
30 days from purchase for an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, after an email to [email protected] for a return authorization. The buyer pays the shipping unless the item is defective or damaged; cancellation is free within 24 hours of ordering. Orders from Amazon or other resellers are not covered.
How long is the warranty?
The warranty page says 2 years for purchases from bodegacooler.com, or 1 year extended to 2 by registering the product within 10 days of purchase (per the FAQ); the manual names the exact period. Some product pages state other terms, so keep the order number and ask support before relying on one figure.
