The Schmick Ned Kelly bar fridge is a robust, affordable option purpose-built for outdoor tropical environments, offering solid energy efficiency and practical features at $777—significantly below category average. Its tropical rating, lockable design, and compact footprint make it ideal for Australian backyards and shed spaces.
Overview
At $777, this Schmick fridge undercuts the category average of $1334 by 42%, making it exceptional value. Its running cost of $149.74 annually is 20% lower than the category average of $188/yr, reflecting genuinely efficient operation. The 43 dB noise level sits just slightly above the category average of 42 dB—a negligible difference. This represents a strong value proposition compared to comparable models, particularly for budget-conscious buyers willing to accept smaller capacity.

Running Costs
Annual running costs of $149.74 represent excellent efficiency, supported by a daily power consumption of just 1.6 kWh. This positions the Schmick below the category average of $188/yr by approximately $38 annually—a cumulative saving of $380 over a decade of typical use. The triple-glazed LOW E door and interior fan design actively reduce thermal loss, meaning your cooling costs remain predictable and low even in outdoor tropical conditions where ambient temperatures are high.

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
The Schmick Ned Kelly bar fridge delivers strong value for Australian outdoor entertaining, combining tropical-specific engineering, energy efficiency, and an affordable $777 price point. Ideal for backyards and sheds, though the fixed right hinge and lack of castors mean careful placement planning is essential.
