Let customers speak for us
Fantastic products
Very happy with the purchase. Delivery was prompt and the fridge works really well for beer and other drinks. It gets properly cold, has plenty of room and looks great. Very happy with it so far!
Super fast delivery, kept me updated throughout the process. Delivery team were fantastic, bang on time.
Fridge looks great, fits perfectly under standard bench. Perfect for our needs.
Excellent shelves - very efficient and gentle on labels
Perfect!
Looks good and does everything that we wanted it to
A quick easy purchase and prompt delivery with notification regarding delivery.
Looks great and for us the extra racks was well worth the cost. Would be great in future if shelves were adapted to have a label holder, but not a deal breaker. Would buy again and recommend.
Just ordered the 226 Bottle Dual Zone - Super easy ordering process. Can't wait for delivery :)
Loving it! I have only just filled it up as we were renovating and had to wait for it to arrive, but I am so pleased with it.
It looks good, holds lots of wine and isn't too noisy... I love it.
So far so good. Unpacked 2 X 195 bottle single zone built in professional fridges - have them running and pulling down the temp of some very hot wine which would have suffered in the extreme heat we have been having over the last few weeks. (Should have bitten the bullet on wine fridges long ago!)
LeCavist were very easy to deal with, including organising delayed deleivery to a depot for on-shipping to our relatively remote location. Fridges were easy to load with only a couple of bottle shapes giving a little grief and costing us a bit of space, but not nearly as problematic as I expected. Sliding shelves are excellant. Just have to remember to push them right "home" when sliding them in. Love the look of the fridges, just not a big fan of the colored lights (easy to turn off or just leave as white). They are certainly heavy (which is a good thing) and a two bloke job to move. Have a small wine fridge that looks like it is in the process of dying - will be looking at a LeCavist as a replacement for it.
We replaced a wine fridge we purchased some 6 years ago from a different manufacturer that "died" with a LeCavist wine fridge - we visited the showroom at Alexandria with one model in mind but upgraded to a dual zone model. We found the showroom staff knowlegeable but not "pushy" and would recommend anyone considering a wine fridge to attend the showroom before committing. We are very pleased with our buy: the fridge is attractive, easy to fill and extract bottles and the dual zone provides versatility. We look forward to many more years of wine storage.
Our wine fridge arrived very promptly. It fits perfectly for the area we want. Easy to setup the dual zones. Looks great with the internal lighting. Would recommend.
After much deliberation about purchasing online as to an in-store purchase of a different brand, I went ahead with the lecavist 168 pv. Delivery arrived within a few days and extremely happy with my cabinet. Will be purchasing again. Cheers to the team for all the support with my questions and prompt responses.
A wonderful experience dealing with LECAVIST. Would recommend 100%. Also the freight company they use were really on to it and nothing was too much trouble. 10/10
Awesome Fridge plenty of room great design
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the exact dimensions, and how much clearance does it need?
This cabinet measures W 655 mm × H 1892 mm × D 700 mm.
For freestanding installation, allow at least 100 mm clearance on each side, top and back for ventilation. Built-in models only require a 20 mm clearance on all sides.
Measure your doorways and the final location before ordering. If you'd like help confirming the fit, our Sydney team can advise, email hello@lecavist.co.nz.
Why does my cabinet hold fewer bottles than the advertised capacity?
All LeCavist capacities are calculated using the international 750 ml Bordeaux bottle, with shelves removed and bottles stacked end-to-end. In real-world use you'll typically fit around 80% of the advertised maximum, depending on:
- Bottle shape, Burgundy and Champagne bottles are wider than Bordeaux and take more space.
- How many shelves you keep in, more shelves means easier access but lower total capacity.
For example, a 168-bottle cabinet comfortably holds 100–130 mixed-shape bottles with most shelves in place. Each cabinet's specification sheet includes loading diagrams, so you can plan exactly which capacity is best for your collection. View this cabinet's spec sheet and manuals for the recommended layouts or enter your expected capacity and we will propose you the best fit.
Extra matching shelves are available separately on our website if you want more storage flexibility.
How quiet is the wine cabinet?
LeCavist cabinets use a quiet compressor cooling system rated between 38–45 dB depending on the model, comparable to a library or soft conversation. The compressor cycles on and off to maintain temperature, so you'll hear short periods of gentle humming rather than continuous noise.
For the quietest operation:
- Place the cabinet on a level, hard floor and adjust the front feet so it's perfectly level.
- Leave the right ventilation clearance: 100 mm on each side and on top for freestanding models, or 20 mm for built-in models.
- Wait 24 hours after delivery before powering on, so the refrigerant gas can settle.
A faint trickling sound from circulating refrigerant is normal and indicates the cooling system is healthy.
What temperature range does it cover, and will it work in hot or humid climates?
All LeCavist Wine Cabinets cover a working range of 5–20°C. Dual-zone and triple-zone models offer independent zones across that range. Perfect for serving temperature whites (6–12°C), reds (14–18°C) and Champagne (5–8°C) in the same cabinet. Ideal long-term cellaring temperature for all wine types is 12–15°C.
Every LeCavist cabinet is subtropical climate rated, tested to maintain set temperature in ambient room temperatures from 10°C up to 38°C. Even in New Zealand's warmest regions you'll experience stable temperatures throughout summer. For best efficiency, install the cabinet away from direct sunlight or other heat sources.
What's included with delivery? Will you take my old fridge?
Delivery is free from Northland to Waikato. Delivery fees apply to all other regions and are calculated at checkout once you enter your address.
- We partner with trusted freight carriers and email a tracking number once your order is dispatched.
- Estimated 5-10 days to most major metro areas, subject to local stock — please allow extra time for the South Island.
- Orders are processed on business days (Mon-Fri, excluding public holidays).
After delivery, leave the cabinet upright and unplugged for 24 hours before first use so the refrigerant gas can settle.
What warranty comes with my wine cabinet?
Every LeCavist cabinet ships with a 24-month manufacturer warranty covering parts and labour. You can extend your warranty to 36 months for free by registering your product within 90 days of purchase at lecavist.co.nz/pages/products-registration.
Our Sydney-based customer service team handles all warranty claims directly, we don't outsource support. For most issues we'll dispatch a replacement unit within 48 hours of confirmation. To raise a claim, email hello@lecavist.co.nz or visit our showroom in Alexandria, NSW.
Should I buy a built-in or freestanding cabinet?
'Freestanding' models require 100 mm to each side, top and back for ventilation; this is how the heat generated in the cooling process leaves the cabinet. This ventilation space is essential for freestanding cabinets to be able to regulate their temperature accurately.
Built-in models are designed to function perfectly when built into cabinetry. The heat from the cooling process is channelled out of 'built-in' models from a vent at the front of the cabinet, and as such they only require 20 mm space to each side, top and back for installation. This extra internal engineering is why there is a premium for built-in models vs. freestanding.
Built-in cabinets can be used as freestanding; visually the finish is the same except for the small, front vent under the door.
Freestanding models cannot be built-in to cabinetry without the required ventilation space, and doing so may invalidate their warranty.
