I plan on putting in 2 built in undercounter wine fridges under a dry bar area in a sitting room. One I plan to keep for wine, and the other I plan to convert in to a wineador/cigar humidor. I'll need the door to be switchable so they both swing outwards away from each other.

Does anyone have any recommendations for wine fridges/wineadors they have or like I should look at? There seems to be about a billion options when you just google it.

I had GE (not the $1,700) that the builder installed that worked fine. My buddy just put in the Bodega brand beverage cooler (although not a wine fridge) and I really like it. Bodega organization is much better than anything I had with GE.

You can get a purpose built wineador for your cigars with racks already built into it. No need to spend time/effort trying to convert something.

Just need to get some humidity control beads to put in it.

I've seen those. May be a good call to just find out what fridge they use (and if it will fit properly) and if so buy the same fridge for the wine.

depends on your budget? You can go all the way from $500 up to $5000+ a piece. For a built in, you should definitely be looking for a fridge that ventilates through the front/bottom of the unit (cheaper ones without front ventilation will radiate heat into the enclosed housing which is no bueno for performance and longevity).

A good mid-range option is Newair. It's a legit company, US-based, comes with 2 year warranty. I have one of the smaller built-ins and it has been solid. This option is similar and is dual zone which might work well for your use case LINK

That's a good one.

I'd have to confirm the door can change sides but I'd assume it can.

I have a Newair and it's been fantastic. I have the 24", 46 bottle version.
