Schmick Quiet Running Front Venting Under Bench Solid Stainless Door Bar Fridge - Model SK156R-SD

Schmick - Bar Fridges
$1,257.00

144 cans, quiet enough for the kitchen

This Schmick fridge trades the usual glass door for a solid 304 stainless door, so whatever's inside stays out of sight. Front venting means it can be built into a cavity rather than needing side clearance, and the 12V fans and Schmick ECO controller keep it quiet and energy efficient while it runs.

It's designed to sit under the bench, indoors or in an enclosed outdoor space under cover, and holds up to 144 cans across its 164 litres. Three large shelves are fully adjustable, the door is reversible and lockable, and the LED light switches between white and blue at the touch of a button.

Building it in? Your cavity needs to be at least 615 mm wide, 636 mm deep and 850 mm high, leaving 10 mm each side, 50 mm at the back and 10 mm on top for ventilation. Built in with the right ventilation, it runs quieter, cools better and lasts longer.
What it costs to run. Left on all year, it uses about 496 kWh (1.36 kWh a day). At 30c per kWh that is roughly $149 a year. Your own rate is on your power bill.
