Tallest Cabinet on the market allows for huge clearance between shelves

Introducing the Allavino FlexCount Classic

The Allavino FlexCount Classic Series YHWR172-2SWRN Dual Zone Wine Refrigerator is perfect for any wine collector that enjoys both red and white wine equally. A temperature divider in the cabinet and directional fans that channel cool air where it's needed most create two cooling environments in one wine cooler. This wine refrigerator is loaded with features like digital temperature display, push-button controls, wood wine racks on full-extension rollers, UV protected dual pane glass, cool blue display lighting and a security lock to keep your collection secure. The finished black cabinet and brushed stainless steel door frame provides a timeless look that will add a touch of class to any environment.


Two Temperature Zones

Because red and white wine age differently, it is necessary to store them at different temperatures. Internal fans direct cool air where you need it, allowing you to set the lower zone between 54-65° F for red wines and set the upper zone between 40-56° F for white wines. A state-of-the-art compressor provides powerful cooling while being efficient enough to meet the strict California Department of Energy consumption guidelines.

Wooden Shelves Extend on Rollers

14 sturdy wooden shelves gently cradle your bottles and reduce harmful vibration that could upset the sediment of your wine during long term storage. Telescoping roller assemblies extend all but the bottom shelf so that you can easily view and access the rear bottles, so you don't have to remove the front bottles to determine what is behind them.

Digital Controls

Control each zone easily and intuitively with the digital temperature display and push button controls. The digital thermostat provides precise control by allowing you to adjust the temperature in one degree increments. Once the desired temperature is set, the display will show the present temperature in the cabinet, allowing you to keep track of the unit's performance. You can also control the lights, toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, or turn the unit off with the push of a button.

Attractive Design

The classic design elements incorporated into this stunning wine cellar will be sure to impress your friends in any environment. It's sides and top have a sleek black finish so it can be used freestanding in the dining room but it's front venting construction allow it to be built into cabinetry for a seamless look in the kitchen. Cool blue display lighting, elegant wood wine racks and a brushed stainless steel door frame complete the wine cooler's appealing look.

  • Up to 172 bottle capacity*
    This bottle count is an estimate based on 3" diameter standard wine bottle. If you have larger bottle diameters, you may hold less bottles per rack or you can remove racks to accommodate the larger bottle sizes.

  • Stainless Steel Curved AND Towel Bar Handle
  • Two temperature zones allow you to store red and white wine simultaneously*
    • Upper Zone can be set between 40-56 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Lower Zone can be set between 54-65 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Maximum Ambient Temperature: 90 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Minimum Ambient Temperature: The lowest temperature you want to store your wine at. The unit does not have a heater, so if the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature, the internal temperature will match the external temperature.
  • LED Temperature Display
  • Temperature can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius
  • Push button controls
  • Fan-forced cooling for even temperature distribution
  • Cool Blue interior lighting
  • Beautiful hardwood shelves
  • Beveled shelf slats securely cradle wine bottles to reduce vibration

Wine Bottle Dimensions

We realize that there is no "standard" bottle size anymore. Here is a small sample of bottle size variations and how they can affect your overall bottle capacity. Each of these bottles have varying widths and heights.

  • Bottle A is the ideal bottle size. The bottles are just short enough that the neck of the back bottles fit between the shoulders of the front bottles without touching and the 2-15/16" diameter allows plenty of room between bottles. This allows you to fit 20 bottles on the top rack in each zone and 11 bottles on the other 12 racks with a total capacity of 172 bottles.
  • Bottle B is taller than the average bottle at both the top and the shoulder. If only using this size bottle, the top of the rear bottles on the rack would hit the shoulder of the front bottles on the rack and push them too far to either side to have bottles all the way across the front of the rack. We were able to fit 11 bottles on the top shelf in each zone and the very bottom shelf by putting 6 bottles across in the grooves with 5 bottles stacked on top of them. On each of the remaining 11 shelves, we were able to get 8 bottles per shelf with one bottle in front and another bottle in the back, then skipping a groove before adding another bottle in the front. That would reduce the overall capacity to 121 bottles, if your entire collection were this size but you can have bottle B in the back with bottle A in the front of each rack and still achieve the maximum capacity of 174 bottles.
  • Bottle C also works well. It is 2-3/4" wide at the base, but 3 1/4" wide at the shoulder. The grooves are spaced enough that the shoulder will touch the bottle next to it, but the height still allows you to fit the normal amount of bottles on a shelf for the full 174 bottle capacity.
  • Bottle E is wider, with a diameter of 3-1/2". They still fit on most of the shelves without having to remove a rack, but they require that a groove be skipped between the bottles which reduced the bottles per shelf to 8 on the upper shelves and 5 on the bottom shelf. That would reduce the overall capacity to 109 bottles if your entire collection were this size.

We understand that every collection is different, and we hope that providing this information will help you determine how your collection will work with this product.

Superior racking layout.
JB

I’ve owned the VSWR128 and YHWR172 and can provide some consumer insight on these models.

Flexcount Series VSWR128 128 bottle Single zone that “...features metal shelving....”

Classico Series YHWR172 172 bottle dual zone “...bottles are stored on sturdy wooden wine racks...”

Units installed free standing in my basement which is a relatively constant 70F and 50% humidity.

Racking: The 128 unit has metal shelves with wood slats. Burgundy style bottles didn’t fit well. They fit, but the full 128 bottle capacity was impossible to achieve. In addition, the wood/chrome finishing on the face of each rack was attached with screws which protruded just enough so that my labels were being torn up. I ended up removing the chrome finishing and re-attaching the underlying wood with recessed screws. That small change made a difference. On the other hand, the Classico series 172 bottle has wood shelves. Burgundy bottles fit well. IMHO the Classico racking layout is superior. This is the most important takeaway from my experience.

Longevity: The 128 unit stopped working after 2 years and was removed from service. The 172 bottle unit is only a few months old at this point.

Cooling: The 128 bottle unit was set to 50F and maintained a constant temperature (until it stopped working). The 172 bottle unit is set to 50F for the upper zone and 60F for the lower zone. I haven’t done a wet temperature test but the unit reports temps +/- 2F, which is ok for my storage needs.

So far so good!
DM Watkins

We bought this fridge for our wine room and it will be used mainly for reds. The look of this unit is very high end and it looks great in the space.
The fridge temperature will never be the same on top as the bottom, will always be a couple of degrees difference. Not a huge deal.
The light in the unit could be brighter, hard to see your choices.
Like the fact that it comes with two handles, the curved and the straight.
Drawers slide quite easily and are very sturdy. Wood face looks great.
Would be useful if you could field change the door swing, you can’t, must be determined upon ordering.
We have only had the unit for a week now, too early to give a complete assessment.
But, so far so good.
I would recommend this unit based on price and looks, good deal!

Great Buy
Art

The fridge arrived a day earlier than promised. The delivery company was great, communicating with me every step of the way. The driven called me when he was about 30 mins. out to give me a head up. He also brought the unit into the house for me. Great service. The unit was easy to set up, following the instructions were easy. We let the unit sit over night before plugging in. Not all the shelves will hold some of the bigger bottom bottles i.e. pinot noir. With that being said, they do offer enough shelves to hold those bottles. You just have to strategic on which shelves get which bottles. This unit is a beautiful piece of furniture, we have in our family room. Some of the reviews said it was extremely loud, not the case it is about as loud as a refrigerator. My only complaint with the unit is the temperatures seem to vary quite a bit fluctuating 4 or 5 degrees sometimes. I have had to raise the red temp to 60 degrees because the unit seem to be keeping them a little to cold. Other than that we are very happy with our purchase.

Allavino flexcount 172 bottle wine coole
Jack

I researched many wine coolers and found that the Allavino was the best on the market. The beverage factory helped me select exactly what would work best for me. They could have up sold me but did not. The flex count 172 bottle unit was delivered right to my garage. I was very impressed with the care taken to package the unit. No dings or scratches any where. My friends helped me move it to my wine cellar. It is true you can put any size bottle in any drawer without interference. Over all I would recommend this to my best friend.
