Where You Can Use It
At 41dB, 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.
