The Schmick 160-litre upright bar fridge offers a distinctive police box design with triple glazed LOW E glass and a lockable door, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. It sits slightly below the category average in price while delivering solid energy efficiency and a reasonable noise profile.
Overview
At $1,267, this Schmick model undercuts the category average of $1,332 by $65. Running costs of $196.53 annually are slightly above the category average of $187, reflecting a daily consumption of 2.1 kWh. Noise output of 43 dB is essentially at category parity (42 dB average), so acoustic performance is unremarkable but acceptable for a bar fridge of this capacity.

Running Costs
Annual running costs of $196.53 AUD place this fridge slightly above the category average of $187. Daily energy consumption of 2.1 kWh is moderate for a 160-litre upright unit. The triple glazed LOW E glass helps minimise thermal loss, though the 43 dB noise level suggests the compressor operates consistently. Over a 5-year period, expect cumulative energy costs around $982, which is reasonable for a purpose-built bar fridge in this category.

Where You Can Use It
At 43dB, 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.
Rated for outdoor use including exposed areas. Note: this model does not include heated glass. In humid or coastal climates, you may get condensation fogging on the glass door — consider a model with heated glass if that's a concern.
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.

Bottom Line
This Schmick police box fridge delivers distinctive styling and solid performance at a competitive price, best suited to entertainment venues where the design itself adds character. It's a capable choice if you value security and triple glazed efficiency, though the fixed door hinge and lack of mobility require careful site selection.
