Where You Can Use It

Indoor

Suitable

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.

Outdoor

Not Rated

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.
