The Schmick upright glass door bar fridge is a premium option featuring double low-E glass and a lockable design, though it commands a significant price premium over category averages. It operates at a moderate noise level and carries solid energy efficiency credentials.

Overview

At $1797, the Schmick sits 35% above the category average price of $1331, positioning it as a premium offering. Its noise level of 55 dB exceeds the category average of 41.9 dB by a noticeable margin, making it one of the louder options available. Running costs of $205.89 annually are slightly higher than the $187 category average, though both remain reasonable. The premium pricing reflects its lockable feature and double low-E glass specification rather than superior efficiency.

Running Costs

Energy Stars

$206

Per Year

At $205.89 annually, this Schmick's running costs are approximately $19 higher than the category average of $187 per year. With a daily power consumption of 2.2 kWh, it's a moderate energy user. Over a typical 10-year lifespan, you're looking at roughly $2,059 in electricity costs. Given its MEPS Energy Star 9/10 rating, the efficiency is respectable for an upright glass door model, though the noise output suggests a more powerful compressor may be contributing to slightly elevated consumption.

Where You Can Use It

Indoor

Suitable

At 55dB, it's about average for noise — fine for a kitchen or garage, but you'd probably notice it in a bedroom or quiet office.

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.

Bottom Line

The Schmick is a solid premium choice for hospitality venues or discerning buyers prioritising lockable storage and glass display aesthetics, but the 35% price premium over category averages and above-average noise level make it a significant investment that requires careful space planning.
