Best Beverage Refrigerators for Cans and Bottles

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

These five beverage refrigerators split into two groups by published capacity. The Electactic and EUHOMY each publish up to 130 cans, the Feelfunn and Icyglee each publish up to 126 cans, and the Antarctic Star publishes up to 70 cans. That is a spread of 60 cans between the smallest and largest published figures, which is the single clearest difference on the sheet.

Temperature ranges separate them further. The Feelfunn and Icyglee publish the widest range, 34 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The Electactic and EUHOMY publish 37 to 61, and the Antarctic Star publishes 40 to 61, which is the narrowest here. Only two makers publish a noise figure, and only one publishes daily energy use.

The table does not tell you how any of these units performs. Nobody at Lush has used them, and no figure here describes cooling speed, temperature stability or long-term reliability. It also leaves out interior dimensions, which no maker publishes, so the table cannot tell you whether a particular bottle will fit on a shelf.

Capacity and Temperature Range

What the can counts mean

A published can count is a maximum, not a guarantee. The Electactic and EUHOMY each state up to 130 standard cans, the Feelfunn and Icyglee each state up to 126, and the Antarctic Star states up to 70. Those figures assume a particular can size and a particular shelf layout, and the makers do not publish the interior dimensions behind them.

The gap between the largest and smallest published capacity is 60 cans. That matters if you are stocking for a party or a bar, and it matters less if the unit is going on a desk. The Antarctic Star is the only model here under 2 cu. ft., and its published capacity reflects that smaller size.

What the temperature ranges cover

The Feelfunn and Icyglee publish the widest range, 34 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 30 degrees of adjustment. The Electactic and EUHOMY publish 37 to 61, and the Antarctic Star publishes 40 to 61, the narrowest range here. Every one of the five uses a digital or touch control rather than a dial.

A lower published minimum is useful if you want cans served very cold. A higher published maximum is useful if you plan to hold wine or other drinks that suffer at low temperatures. The Feelfunn and Icyglee reach both ends, 34 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom and 64 at the top, and the Antarctic Star reaches neither, at 40 and 61.

Shelving, Doors and Placement

Shelf counts and what they change

The Electactic publishes five adjustable wire racks and the EUHOMY five removable shelves arranged across five slots, which is the highest count here. The Feelfunn and Icyglee each publish four, and the Antarctic Star publishes two adjustable shelves. More shelves generally mean more ways to separate cans from taller bottles, though the makers do not publish the spacing between them.

Every one of the five states that its shelves are adjustable or removable, so the count is the only thing separating them on this row. If you plan to mix tall bottles with standard cans, that published count is the closest thing to a flexibility figure on this sheet, and no maker turns it into a usable clearance.

Doors, lighting and placement

All five publish a glass door and the glazing is where they differ. The Icyglee names tempered glass with low-E film, the Antarctic Star tinted double pane glass, and the EUHOMY a double layer UV blocking door. The Feelfunn and Electactic name a glass door and leave it there. Four of the five also name LED lighting, and the Feelfunn names none.

Placement language differs too. The Electactic is described as fitting under countertops, the EUHOMY as suitable for freestanding use, and the Feelfunn, Antarctic Star and Icyglee as freestanding. The EUHOMY and Icyglee both publish adjustable feet, and both are the only two that name a reversible door or hinge.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

Buyer who wants the widest temperature range. The Feelfunn publishes 34 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, the widest here alongside the Icyglee. It holds up to 126 cans on four adjustable shelves and states a 36 dB noise level.

Buyer who needs the most shelf positions. The Electactic publishes five adjustable wire racks, matched only by the EUHOMY’s five removable shelves, and holds up to 130 cans. Its published temperature range is 37 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit.

Buyer who wants a published energy figure. The EUHOMY is the only model here with a daily energy figure, 0.69 kWh. It holds up to 130 cans, publishes a 36 dB noise level, and states a 37 to 61 degree Fahrenheit range.

Buyer with limited space. The Antarctic Star is the smallest on every published dimension, at 16.93 inches wide, 16.34 inches deep and 22.24 inches tall, and the lightest at 35.5 pounds. Its published capacity is up to 70 cans.

Buyer who wants a reversible hinge. The Icyglee names a reversible hinge, adjustable feet and a low-E film glass door. It holds up to 126 cans, publishes a 34 to 64 degree Fahrenheit range, and stands 31.3 inches tall.

What We Could Not Verify

Several figures that would help a buyer are absent from the manufacturers’ published material.

• Annual energy use for all five models. Only the EUHOMY publishes a daily figure, and no maker publishes a yearly one.
• Interior dimensions for every model, so shelf clearance and bottle fit cannot be checked against published numbers.
• Noise levels for the Electactic, Antarctic Star and Icyglee, all three of which claim quiet operation without a figure.
• Shelf spacing or usable shelf height for any of the five, so bottle fit cannot be checked against a number.
• Whether the published can counts assume 12 ounce cans for every model, since the makers do not specify.
• Any performance figure at all, because no one at Lush has used, measured or tested these refrigerators.
