This sleek built-in unit came to market in the summer of 2020. It is part of a new wine refrigeration product line from a Colorado-based home and kitchen company, MOOSOO. This company takes pride in producing high-quality household items with affordable price since 2013. (You might have previously heard of their vacuums and air fryers).

Capacity and design: This MOOSOO 15-inch is designed for a slim under-counter built-in. Yes, this is a front-venting fridge.
The style is modern and it has a uniformity appearance. From the front, you are greeted with a cohesive (material and color) stainless-steel door-frame and a venting-plate.
The door handle is in the form of towel bar style – in frost-free stainless steel.
The two sides and the top are black stainless steel. You have the option to install it as a free-standing unit, if you like.
This MOOSOO is similar to most premium 15-inch units in its class – in terms of functions and high quality material. It has stainless steel frame, double-layer tempered glass door, beautiful interior lighting, quiet and a capacity of 30-bottles.
So, what sets it apart from most in its class? Two distinct design features:
- Edging design. This trim work provides a finished look to the edges of stainless steel frame.
- Location of the company logo. It is not located on the top nor at the bottom of the unit. It is in the middle of the door.
Door swing: This MOOSOO is a right-hinge unit – this means your door handle is on the left (when you are facing the fridge). Check your space layout, for example, how do you open the adjacent cabinets or appliances – left or right? Then order the appropriate model (right or left hinge) per your space configuration.
A pleasant surprise here – it comes with a gift:
- One wine opener and two wine stoppers in a gift box. These are beautiful and thoughtful accessories from the manufacturer MOOSOO.
Dual temperature zones. This MOOSOO 30-bottle has two independently-controlled temperature zones.
The upper zone has a temperature range of 41℉-55℉ – suitable to store your white and sparkling wines.
The lower zone is 54℉-64℉ – an applicable temperature range for red vintages.
Operating tips:
- You don’t want to power on this unit immediately after you receive it. Give it three hours before you turn it on. It’s a good and safe practice for an R600a refrigerant-based appliance.
- Set your lower zone 4 to 6 degrees higher than the upper zone – for optimum interior temperature equilibrium.
Energy Saving.This unit has received certification from the US Department of Energy (DOE) for constant temperature control for wine coolers. One kilowatt-hour can be used for three days for saving electricity.
Digital temperature control. The control panel is located in the middle of the unit.
Like all premium wine coolers, it has a built-in temperature memory function. Yes, it remembers your pre-set temperature after a power lost.
Tip: Press the temperature unlock icon before you make adjustment or set a new temperature.
Beech wood shelving. This WOOSOO unit has five removable racks plus a bottom shelf. They are made with durable and soft beech wood. No worries about your valuable labels getting scratched.
Blue LED lighting. This unit has a soft interior lighting to illuminate your collection. You can turn the light on or off via the control panel.
Locking feature. This model has a lock at the bottom of the door, just above the venting plate. Two keys are included.
Adjustable legs. It is most important to level your wine fridge – either as a built-in or free-standing installation. Make use of the front adjustable legs at the bottom of the unit.
Warranty. This model has a one-month replacement risk free, one-year limited warranty by the manufacturer MOOSOO. Please remember to register your model after your purchase.
Summary: This Moosoo 15-inch 30-bottle wine cooler (view on Amazon) was the number one new-release wine cooler in the summer 2020. It has certainly earned a spot on our top-rated list of the 15-inch wine coolers.
This 30-bottle unit definitely represents its company, MOOSOO’s mantra well: “to provide high-quality products that improve quality of life, at the lowest costs possible.”
It checks all the boxes for a premium appliance: double-pane glass door, seamless stainless steel, low noise, efficient energy cooling. And, it is indeed one of the best-value units in the market today.
We will be remiss if we didn’t point out that the MOOSOO logo is located in the front center of the glass door (as opposed to bottom of the door). Positioning of a logo is a personal preference, but just so you know.
