Our take
What the seller describes
Inside there is room for 20 bottles in a 48 litre space. A control panel with an LCD shows the current temperature, so you can check it without opening the door. The glass door has a stainless steel frame, and an LED light shows off the bottles. The listing says the cooler is designed to bring out the wine's aroma while being energy efficient, without giving figures to back either point.
Noise in a living space
At a stated 39 dB, this cooler is in the same band as the Severin KS 9894 and the 28 cm wide 18-bottle cooler. That is a low hum that should fade into the background of an open-plan kitchen. Noise figures from different makers are not always measured the same way, so treat small differences as a rough guide rather than a ranking.
Placement still matters: a cooler set on a hard floor in a tiled kitchen can sound louder than the same unit on a level, solid base away from echoing walls.
Fitting it into units
The listing says the cabinet can be integrated into kitchen units. Before you rely on that, check where it vents. A cooler that breathes out of the back needs a gap behind it, and boxing it in can make it run hot and loud.
The width, depth and height are not given, nor are the temperature range, cooling method or annual energy use, so ask the seller for the installation sheet.
Against the Severin and the Liebherr
The Severin KS 9894 states 33 bottles, a 5 to 15 °C range and 140 kWh a year in a 48 cm wide body, which makes it easier to plan around. The Liebherr UWKes 1752-22 is a dedicated under-worktop cabinet with a door ajar alarm. This 20-bottle cooler suits a smaller collection where a quiet running figure is the priority.
Verdict
Choose this 20-bottle cooler if you want a quiet wine fridge for a modest collection and can confirm its size and venting before ordering. If you want every key figure in the listing, the Severin KS 9894 holds more and is better documented, and the Liebherr UWKes 1752-22 suits a permanent under-worktop fit.
