Q:Is there any reason this cannot be placed on top of a counter? Will it only work if it's on the ground/under a counter?

Answer This Question

A:  It’s pretty big so don’t think will work on counter

by|May 17, 2021

    A:  I don't know why not, but it is fairly bulky / heavy

      A:  I currently have a Magic Chef on a built-in counter. Totally fine. Just died out this week so I want the same make and model to fit in the same space. Yes, it's heavy, but it gives you great eye level view of all your bottles.

        A:  Not sure...that may be a question for the manufacturer. But it is quite large and heavy (see specs), so in my opinion, it would look awkward in a regular kitchen.

        by|May 16, 2021

          A:  Don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work just fine.

          by|May 14, 2021

          A:  I have placed them on top of another one. No issues.

          by|Dec 13, 2021

            A:  50 bottles of wine probably weighs ~ 130 pounds. Add the weight of the cooler for a total and see if your counter can easily hold it. However, it works great on the floor.

            Q:Can the handle be removed?

            A:  The handle cannot be removed.

            by|Feb 22, 2021

              A:  Although I have not tried to do so, you can remove the handle and the hinge to reverse the opening side. That is not hard to do and the instructions are clear on this. Cosmetically I think it would be fine without the handle but you will need strong fingers to open it without one.

              by|Jun 1, 2021

                A:  Not easily, although on my unit it is reversible.

                                  A:  Unfortunately, no. The shelves are slim and you have to tilt a little to get the slim bottles out, so I know the fat bottle wont fit. It has to be the slim bottles in order to fit. Unless you remove the bottom removable tray you use for beer. That is an option. Or, remove one of the middle shelves to store the fat bottle.

                                    A:  No, this unit will only fit standard 750ml bottles.

                                      A:  No, not unless you remove one of the middle shelves or the beer wrack at the bottom.

                                            Q:Can I keep this cooler on my lanai? I live in Florida and temperature can exceed 90 degrees.

                                            A:  I would not use the unit if outside on a lanai or patio. However if you contact Magic Chef they will be able to answer to ensure warranty is not voided. I also think if it is part of a built-in , outdoor kitchen that is enclosed, covered by roof, electrical is protected and not in the sun it may be ok. That’s is just my opinion.
