The Schmick Lest We Forget is a premium upright bar fridge offering quiet operation and excellent energy efficiency at a competitive price point. Its triple-glazed glass door, adjustable shelving, and locking mechanism make it well-suited for entertaining spaces, though the lack of castors and non-reversible door limit flexibility in some settings.
Overview
At $1,397, this Schmick model sits slightly above the category average of $1,332, but delivers superior value through lower running costs and quieter operation. Its annual running cost of $149.74 substantially undercuts the category average of $188/yr, saving approximately $38 per year. The 41 dB noise level edges below the average of 42.0 dB, making it a genuinely quiet performer that justifies its premium positioning.

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.
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.

Bottom Line
The Schmick Lest We Forget offers compelling value for quality-conscious buyers seeking a quiet, efficient bar fridge for entertainment or hospitality use, particularly if the fixed left-hinge and stationary installation suit your space. The superior running costs and below-average noise level justify the slight premium over category averages.
