In terms of similar features: each wine fridge has 6 removable shelves, external touch digital controls, air-tight seal around the door frame, dual-pane glass door, interior LED lights and adjustable feet to ensure proper leveling.

  • Go for the SCHMÉCKÉ: if you prefer as a black smoke glass door, wire racks and a recessed door-handle. Schmecke has an all-back exterior. It has a temperature range of 41°F-64°F.
  • Choose Whynter: if you prefer stainless steel door frame, wooden shelves and a towel-bar handle. Whynter has a display shelf to show case your choice-of-bottles of your collection. It has a temperature range of 39°F-65°F.
  • Opt for ROVSUN: if you are want a clear glass door, chrome racks and a recessed door-handle. It has a temperature range of 41°F-64°F. ROVSUN is the most affordable unit among these three models. Note that ROVSUN does not have a lock – whereas both SCHMÉCKÉ and Whynter are lockable units. ROVSUN’s logo is bigger than most – it is located at the bottom of the glass door.
