Company History

Marvel was founded back in 1932 as a company that manufactured undercounter ice boxes. Soon after, electric refrigeration came into widespread use and Marvel quickly joined in, producing some of the finest luxury refrigeration products on the market.

Marvel grew through the years and focused on the luxury lifestyle and was instrumental in setting the trend for putting specialty refrigeration in rooms other than the kitchen. They designed the first all-black interior refrigeration unit which opened the door to designer colors to match the decor of any room.

Today, they provide undercounter wine storage and beverage units that can be customized in a wide range of designer colors, with wood accents or in the sleek appeal of stainless steel. Units feature a forced-air ventilation system with quiet but powerful compressors and microprocessor controlled thermostats.

General Info About Marvel Wine Coolers

Marvel Wine Coolers come in different sizes and different capacities. There are Dual Zone wine coolers that have two different sections with individually controllable thermostats. Wine goes in one section at a specific temperature for proper storage and the other section holds canned sodas, individual bottled waters and juices. There is a special cooler just for storing magnums of champagne and also able to accomodate other larger bottles of wine and champagne.

The designer style Chateau Collection and a Luxury Series of wine coolers feature a Sentry System that constantly monitors the temperature on a real time basis, making adjustments to maintain the optimal temperature conditions required for the preservation of the wine. As an indication of Marvel’s desire to keep up with all the trends in high end luxury, they have introduced a unit that combines a wine cooler with cigar storage.

All of the Marvel units come with many advanced features.

  • Enhanced microprocessor technology provides excellent temperature control.
  • An ultra-efficient compressor cools quickly, allows for optimal temperatures and is designed for years and years of steady use.
  • A high efficiency fan motor should last a lifetime and the commercial condensor delivers more air flow.
  • A special Vibration Neutralization System (VNS) which as its name suggests, protects the wine bottles from damage caused by vibration.
