Whynter BWR-33SA Built-In Wine Refrigerator 33 Bottle

Overview

Behind a UV-protective glass door and stainless steel L-bar handle sits Whynter's BWR-33SA, a single-zone built-in wine refrigerator rated for 33 standard 750ml bottles.

• Stated capacity of 33 standard 750ml bottles
• Single-zone cooling, high 30s to mid 60s Fahrenheit range
• Stainless steel L-bar handle, UV-protective double pane glass
• Security lock, optional humidity control tray

Who it's for

Buyers wanting a compact built-in single-zone cooler for a smaller collection, and willing to load fewer bottles per row than advertised, are the fit. Anyone counting on the full 33-bottle capacity or long-term reliability should be cautious.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A single compressor cools the cabinet across a wide temperature range from the high 30s to mid 60s Fahrenheit, with an optional humidity control tray and an activated carbon filter to manage the air inside. The seven shelves are meant to space bottles five per row to reach the 33 bottle total, though more than one reviewer found only three bottles fit per row in practice, and one unit stopped regulating temperature and had to be shut off after roughly a year of use.
