The five wine refrigerators here differ most in published bottle capacity. The Hamilton Beach HBWF4303 holds 43 bottles, the Whynter FWC-341TS holds 34, the BLACK+DECKER BD61536 holds 26, and both the EUHOMY and Icyglee models hold 25. Temperature ranges are close: the EUHOMY spans 41 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, the Whynter 39 to 65, the Hamilton Beach 40 to 61, the BLACK+DECKER 40 to 64, and the Icyglee 40 to 64. Widths cluster at 17.5 or 19 inches, so door swing and depth matter as much as capacity.
“Capacity separates them first, then width and depth decide the fit.”

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
Published capacity is the clearest split. The Hamilton Beach HBWF4303 holds 43 bottles, the Whynter FWC-341TS holds 34, the BLACK+DECKER BD61536 holds 26, and the EUHOMY and Icyglee each hold 25. That is an 18 bottle gap between the largest and smallest. Temperature ranges are tighter, running from a low of 39 degrees Fahrenheit on the Whynter to a high of 65 degrees on the same model.
Widths fall into two groups. The EUHOMY, BLACK+DECKER and Icyglee are all 17.5 inches wide. The Whynter is 19 inches and the Hamilton Beach is 19.5 inches. Depth ranges from 18.25 inches on the Whynter to 22.25 inches on the Hamilton Beach, a 4 inch difference that matters in a narrow alcove. Heights run from 31.2 to 34.25 inches.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published bottle capacity | 25 | 34 | 43 | 26 | 25 |
| Width (inches) | 17.5 | 19.0 | 19.5 | 17.5 | 17.5 |
| Depth (inches) | 18.9 | 18.25 | 22.25 | 18.3 | 18.9 |
| Height (inches) | 31.29 | 33.0 | 34.25 | 31.5 | 31.2 |
| Weight (pounds) | 54.0 | 61.0 | 49.0 | 48.5 | 52.9 |
| Temperature low (Fahrenheit) | 41 | 39 | 40 | 40 | 40 |

| Control type | Digital touchscreen | Digital touch screen | Digital | Mechanical | Digital |

The table does not tell you how any of these hold temperature over time, how much electricity they use, or how loud they run, because those figures are not published. It also cannot tell you whether a given bottle shape fits a given shelf, since no interior dimensions are listed. Use the exterior numbers to check your opening and the capacity number to check your collection.
The Hamilton Beach HBWF4303 is the only model here published above 40 bottles, at 43. The Whynter FWC-341TS sits in the middle at 34. The BLACK+DECKER BD61536 is published at 26, and the EUHOMY and Icyglee are each published at 25. If your collection is larger than 25 bottles, the EUHOMY and Icyglee are the two to rule out first on capacity alone.
Capacity figures assume standard bottle shapes. None of the five manufacturers publish interior dimensions, so there is no way to check whether a wider Burgundy bottle or a taller Riesling bottle changes the count. The BLACK+DECKER is the only one whose feature text names a dedicated bottom compartment for champagne, magnum or smaller bottles, which suggests it is designed for mixed sizes.
The EUHOMY lists four chrome full-width wine racks plus one more shelf. The BLACK+DECKER lists four chrome full-width wine racks, one full-width flat shelf and a bottom compartment. The Whynter lists a wooden display shelf that holds up to 5 bottles at an incline. The Hamilton Beach lists curved wire shelves. The Icyglee lists adjustable shelves for versatile layouts.
The Whynter display shelf is the only feature of its kind here, and it changes how the top of the cabinet is used. The BLACK+DECKER bottom compartment is the only one described for champagne and magnum bottles. If you store sparkling wine, that compartment is the clearest published difference between the BLACK+DECKER and the other four.
The Whynter FWC-341TS publishes the widest range, 39 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, a span of 26 degrees. The EUHOMY publishes 41 to 64, a span of 23 degrees, the narrowest here. The Hamilton Beach publishes 40 to 61, a span of 21 degrees. The BLACK+DECKER and Icyglee each publish 40 to 64, a span of 24 degrees.
Control type also differs. The EUHOMY, Whynter, Hamilton Beach and Icyglee all describe digital controls, with the EUHOMY and Whynter naming a touchscreen. The BLACK+DECKER is the only one of the five with mechanical temperature controls. That is a published difference in how you set the temperature, not a statement about how well any of them hold it.
All five describe a double-pane glass door. The EUHOMY, Whynter and Icyglee use the word thermopane or tempered in their feature text. The Hamilton Beach describes tinted glass and blue LED lighting. The EUHOMY and Icyglee describe soft LED lighting. The BLACK+DECKER describes an interior light for bottle visibility without opening the door.
The Whynter FWC-341TS is the only model here that lists built-in door locks and an included key set. For the other four, the manufacturer does not publish lock information. The Icyglee is the only one that lists an ETL certificate in its feature text, and the only one that publishes a noise figure, stating operation below 36 dB.
Collectors with more than 40 bottles. The Hamilton Beach HBWF4303 is the only model here published at 43 bottles. Check the 22.25 inch depth and 19.5 inch width against your space, because both are the largest figures of the five.
Buyers who need a lock. The Whynter FWC-341TS is the only one listing built-in door locks and a key set. It also publishes the widest temperature range, 39 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and a display shelf for 5 bottles.
Mixed bottle sizes. The BLACK+DECKER BD61536 lists a bottom compartment for champagne, magnum or smaller bottles. It is also the lightest at 48.5 pounds and the only one with mechanical controls.
Narrow openings. The EUHOMY, BLACK+DECKER and Icyglee are all 17.5 inches wide. The EUHOMY and Icyglee share the same depth, 18.9 inches, and nearly the same height, 31.29 and 31.2 inches.
Quiet operation. The Icyglee is the only model that publishes a noise figure, below 36 dB. It holds 25 bottles and lists an ETL certificate and a 12 month support period.
Several figures a buyer would want are not published by any of these five manufacturers. We list them here rather than estimate.
The published capacities are 43 bottles for the Hamilton Beach HBWF4303, 34 for the Whynter FWC-341TS, 26 for the BLACK+DECKER BD61536, 25 for the EUHOMY, and 25 for the Icyglee. These are manufacturer figures. Actual counts can vary with bottle shape and shelf position, and no interior dimensions are published to check against.
The EUHOMY states 41 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The Whynter states 39 to 65. The Hamilton Beach states 40 to 61. The BLACK+DECKER states 40 to 64. The Icyglee states 40 to 64. The Whynter has the widest published span at 26 degrees, and the Hamilton Beach the narrowest at 21 degrees.
Only the Whynter FWC-341TS lists built-in door locks and an included key set in its published features. The other four do not mention locks. If security matters, that is the one model where the maker states the feature directly. For the others, the manufacturer does not publish lock information.
The EUHOMY feature text says it fits under counters or as a freestanding unit. The other four are described as freestanding. Published widths are 17.5 inches for the EUHOMY, BLACK+DECKER and Icyglee, 19 inches for the Whynter, and 19.5 inches for the Hamilton Beach. Check your opening against those figures before buying.
The EUHOMY is published at 54 pounds. The Whynter at 61 pounds. The Hamilton Beach at 49 pounds. The BLACK+DECKER at 48.5 pounds. The Icyglee at 52.9 pounds. The BLACK+DECKER is the lightest and the Whynter the heaviest, a difference of 12.5 pounds between them.
Only the Icyglee states a noise figure, listing operation below 36 dB. The other four do not publish a decibel rating. The EUHOMY describes a consistently quiet environment and the Icyglee describes library-quiet performance, but those are descriptions, not measurements. For the other three, the manufacturer does not publish a noise level.
