Where You Can Use It
At 39dB, this is one of the quieter bar fridges on the market — you can comfortably run it in a kitchen, living area, or home office without it becoming background noise you notice.
This fridge is rated for indoor use only. If you need something for an outdoor area, look for a model rated for alfresco or outdoor use. It doesn't have heated glass either, so even in a warm indoor spot you may see some condensation on the glass door during humid weather.
Noise Level
Fine for a kitchen or living room — you'll hear it if the room is dead silent, but it won't compete with conversation.
