Our verdict
For owners of a BODEGAcooler wine cooler whose model code appears in one of the two lists and who want a replacement filter. Look elsewhere if your cooler's code is in neither list or you need dimensions confirmed first. The main caveat is the page's mix of universal wording and model-specific variants.
- Best for
- Owners of a BODEGAcooler wine cooler whose model code is in one of the two variant lists.
- Skip if
- Your cooler's model code is in neither list or you need filter dimensions before buying.
Why 3.3/5: Lifted by two variants tied to named model codes and a stated replacement interval. Held back by thin copy with little to check, after-sale wording that varies between the store's pages, a negative-leaning Trustpilot profile that mentions support, and no independent test.
Priced at $40 for either variant, this charcoal filter is described as a universal replacement for any BODEGAcooler wine cooler. It comes in two variants keyed to model codes: YC-120-2D, YC-510A, YC-408A, YC-100A and YC-150A for one, and JC-145A, JC-165B, JC-115DR, JC-85A and JC-85B for the other. The page recommends replacing the filter every year and gives no filter dimensions.

Options and pricing
Two variants, both at $40: one for YC-120-2D/YC-510A/YC-408A/YC-100A/YC-150A and one for JC-145A/JC-165B/JC-115DR/JC-85A/JC-85B. One of the two was out of stock when read, but the page does not say which. It shows no crossed-out price and does not explain how the variants differ.
How it compares
At $40, the filter sits between the Bodega Cooler 110-240V AC Power Cord for Car Fridges from $36.99 and the Bodega Cooler T36 / T50 / T60 Fridge Cover from $69.59. Those two are named for car and 12v fridges, while this is the wine cooler item and its page gives a yearly replacement interval.
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 4 customer reviews with 75% 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.
What we liked
- Two variants are tied to named model codes, so a buyer can match a cooler by its code
- The price is $40 for either variant
- A replacement interval of every year is given, attributed to BODEGAcooler
- The page says what the filter is meant to do, in its own words
Worth noting
- No filter dimensions, weight or material amount are given
- Choosing between the two variants means matching a model code by hand, with no size or shape difference described
- One of the two variants was out of stock when read, and the page does not say which
- The ventilation, humidity and odor claims come with no source or measurement
Questions before you buy
Which wine coolers does this filter fit?
The page calls it a universal replacement for any BODEGAcooler wine cooler and offers two variants: one for YC-120-2D/YC-510A/YC-408A/YC-100A/YC-150A and one for JC-145A/JC-165B/JC-115DR/JC-85A/JC-85B. It does not explain how the two differ.
How often does the store say to replace the filter?
The page says BODEGAcooler recommends replacing the filter every year.
What does the page say a charcoal filter does?
It says charcoal air filters give natural ventilation and humidity control that help wine mature free from damaging odors. The page gives no measurement or source for that claim.
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.

What we couldn’t verify
- The page calls the filter universal for any BODEGAcooler wine cooler, yet sells two variants keyed to different model codes and does not say how they differ in size or shape.
- The variant selector is labeled 'Material' although both values are lists of model codes; the page names no filter material beyond charcoal and gives no dimensions.
- The ventilation, humidity-control and odor claims are the store's own, with no source.
- The refund policy gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, while the FAQ says 1 to 3.
- The warranty page says 2 years and also 1 year extended to 2 by registering; 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.
- No independent test of this model was found in the web searches made on 21 October 2026, and the page's own copy is the only source for its figures.
- Some options showed as out of stock when the page was read on 21 October 2026.
