The Schmick 2-Zone Wine Fridge is a premium upright unit designed for wine enthusiasts who prioritize display and temperature control. It combines stylish glass-door design with practical features like adjustable shelving and electronic controls, though it commands a price premium over category averages.

Overview

At $2127, this Schmick fridge sits well above the $1330 category average, reflecting its premium positioning and 2-zone capability. Operating noise of 43 dB is virtually identical to the 42 dB category average, so you won't notice a difference in quietness. The standout advantage is running cost: at $116.05 annually, it's significantly cheaper than the $188 category average, delivering 38% lower energy bills despite the higher purchase price.

Where You Can Use It

Indoor

Suitable

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.

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.
