The H-WINE 300 HWCB 45 is designed for a fitted kitchen with a 60 cm wide, 45 cm high opening, the kind of niche often found in a tall housing unit alongside a built-in oven. That format is what sets it apart from the freestanding and under-counter coolers we compare. It suits people who want 24 bottles behind a stainless steel front with app control and a neat, integrated finish.

Our take
Size and installation
The title gives exterior dimensions of 590 mm wide, 607 mm deep and 455 mm high. That matches a compact appliance niche rather than an under-worktop gap. The installation type is built-in, and the UK model code ends in UKSSM, which suggests a UK market version.
Because built-in coolers sit inside cabinetry, check the niche size and ventilation requirements in the installation guide before ordering, as the listing does not include them.
Features listed
The title confirms single zone cooling, LED lighting, Wi-Fi control and a stainless steel finish. The only bullet repeats smart Wi-Fi control, so details of the app, its features and any account needs are not given.
Energy class F is stated in the title. That is towards the lower end of the scale, though no annual kWh figure is provided to compare with other models.
What is missing
There is no temperature range, no cooling type and no noise figure. For a single zone cabinet, the range tells you whether whites and sparkling can be stored at serving temperature, so it is worth asking the seller or checking the brand's documentation. The same goes for the shelf layout, since a 45 cm tall cabinet holding 24 bottles will likely store them in a specific arrangement that may not suit taller bottles.
Alongside the Severin and the wooden-shelf 24-bottle cooler
The Severin KS 9894 is an under-counter compressor model for 33 bottles at 39 dB with a 5 to 15 °C range, but has a class G rating and a Europlug listed. The 24-bottle cooler with wooden shelves offers the same bottle count at 10 to 18 °C but no dimensions. The H-WINE is the only one of the three made for a 45 cm built-in niche.
Verdict
Choose the H-WINE 300 HWCB 45 if you have a 60 cm wide compact niche and want a built-in, Wi-Fi controlled cooler for 24 bottles. If you need an under-counter unit instead, the Severin KS 9894 holds more bottles, and the 24-bottle wooden-shelf cooler suits buyers who prefer a freestanding look.
