The Liebherr UWKes 1752-22 is for homeowners planning a fitted kitchen who want a wine cabinet that sits permanently beneath the worktop, from a brand known for refrigeration. Of the under-counter models in our comparisons it is the only one listed with a door ajar alarm, a practical safeguard in a busy kitchen where a door can easily be left open.

In its favour
- Listed specifically as an under-counter installation rather than a freestanding unit squeezed into a gap.
- The door ajar alarm helps stop a door left open from warming the bottles.
- A stated 139 kWh a year makes it easy to work out running costs from your unit rate.
Good to know
- This listing omits width, capacity and temperature range; check Liebherr's data sheet for the niche size.
- The plug type is listed as a Europlug, so confirm the UK plug before ordering.
Our take
What the listing states
Amazon describes this as an under-cabinet wine climate cabinet, the original Liebherr UWKes 1752-22. The specs list under-counter installation, a glossy finish, a door ajar alarm, a weight of 46 kg and annual energy use of 139 kWh. The product warranty is a manufacturer guarantee.
The plug is listed as a CEE 7/16 Europlug, so you will need to confirm whether a UK plug is supplied or arrange a suitable fused conversion.
What it does not say
There is no bottle count, no capacity in litres, no temperature range, no noise figure and no dimensions. For a built-under appliance, the exact height, width, depth and ventilation method are essential, so check Liebherr's own product data sheet for the model number before measuring your cabinetry.
The compressor type is listed as rotary scroll, which confirms compressor cooling.
Installing under a worktop
Built-under cabinets are designed to breathe through the front, so they can sit flush between kitchen units without overheating. A freestanding cooler pushed into the same gap often struggles because it needs air at the back and sides. If your plan involves a permanent slot, a dedicated under-counter model like this is the safer route.
At 46 kg it is heavy, so plan for two people when sliding it into place.
Against the Severin KS 9894 and the 20-bottle cooler
The Severin KS 9894 lists 33 bottles, 39 dB, a 5 to 15 °C range and a 48 cm wide body, so it is much easier to plan around, though its energy class is G. The 20-bottle cooler can go into kitchen units or stand alone and states 39 dB, but its listing gives no width, temperature range or energy use. The Liebherr wins on brand backing and its alarm.
Verdict
Choose the Liebherr UWKes 1752-22 for a permanent under-worktop installation where a door alarm and manufacturer support matter, after checking the full specs on Liebherr's data sheet. If you want a cooler you can plan from the listing alone, the Severin KS 9894 is clearer, and the 20-bottle cooler suits a smaller collection in a quiet kitchen once its size is confirmed.
