Dimensions & Installation
Ventilation Clearance Required
Suitable for indoor settings.
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.

It's an excellent choice for budget buyers and themed spaces, provided you don't require locking or mobile functionality.
