Our verdict
Suits a kitchen, office or restaurant, as the page lists them, that has room for a 23.8 x 23.5 x 34.2 inch unit and wants two zones, 56 bottles and a stated weight, power and noise figure. Look elsewhere if you need a left-hinged or reversible door or a noise figure that comes with a test. The main caveat is that the 42db, UV and vibration claims are the store's own.
- Best for
- A kitchen, office or restaurant space for a 24 inch dual zone cooler that holds 56 bottles.
- Skip if
- You need a left-hinged or reversible door, or a noise figure backed by a test.
Why 3.4/5: Volume, dimensions, weight, rated power and both zone ranges in the specifications lift it. The store's policy text differing from its product pages, a negative Trustpilot profile and no independent test of this model hold it back.
Holding 56 bottles in two zones, the JC-165B is a 24 inch compressor wine cooler listed at $959.99. Its specification block gives 165 Liters, 23.8 x 23.5 x 34.2 inches, 129.7 pounds, a 95W rated power and zone ranges of 41F - 54F above and 54F - 68F below. The page says it can be built in or stand free, and it lists a right-hinged door, a security lock with 2 keys and 5 shelves in the package.

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 54 customer reviews with 78% of them five-star in the store's own widget, which we could not verify. 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. The page carries a '30 Days Price Match Guarantee' banner that the refund and shipping policies do not mention. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.

Questions before you buy
What temperatures do the two zones cover?
The page lists an upper zone of 41F - 54F and a lower zone of 54F - 68F, with a digital LED display and touch control. It suggests the upper zone for white wine and the lower zone for red, and gives style temperatures such as red wines at 59-64.4F and sparkling wines at 41-46.4F.
How big is it and how much does it weigh?
The specification lists 23.8 x 23.5 (excluding the handle) x 34.2 inches (WxDxH) and a net weight of 129.7 pounds, with a volume of 165 Liters. It can be built in or stand free, and the door hinge is listed as Right.
What is in the package?
The package list names 1 wine refrigerator, 5 shelves and 2 keys. The page also lists a built-in security lock, 4 adjustable feet and a blue internal LED light.
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.
