Schmick

Schmick is an Australian bar and beverage fridge brand built specifically for the local climate, using triple-glazed heated glass and oversized cooling systems that hold a steady drinking temperature even when the ambient air passes 38°C. My Acre stocks the Schmick range from compact 50L mini bars up to the 440L upright, and manages every warranty claim directly so you are never left chasing an overseas supplier.

Why Schmick, and who it suits

A Schmick fridge is designed for home bars, alfresco entertaining areas and enclosed outdoor kitchens where a standard indoor fridge would struggle in summer heat. Every glass-door model runs triple glazing with a heated inner pane to stop the door fogging in humidity, an ozone-safe R600a refrigerant circuit, and a MEPS-registered energy rating. It is the practical choice for renovating couples and entertainers who want a fridge that keeps drinks genuinely cold through an Australian summer, not just on a mild day.

How to choose a Schmick fridge

Match the fridge to the space and how it will be installed. The five decisions below cover almost every Schmick purchase.

1. Capacity

Schmick capacity runs from a 50L mini bar (around 60 cans) through the popular 100–120L single-door models, up to twin-door 190–274L units and a 399L three-door for serious entertaining volume. Size to your busiest gathering, not your average week.

2. Glass door or solid door

Glass-door Schmick fridges show off the contents and suit a display bar; solid-door models hold temperature more efficiently and suit a garage, cellar or where you would rather not see the clutter. Both use the same cooling platform.

3. Front-venting for built-in installs

If the fridge is going under a bench or into cabinetry, choose a front-venting Schmick model. It exhausts heat through the front, so it can sit flush in joinery without overheating. Standard rear-vented models need 50mm of clearance behind them and are best left freestanding.

4. Indoor, or covered alfresco

Every Schmick glass-door fridge is rated for indoor use and covered, enclosed outdoor areas out of direct sun. None are built to sit in open weather or direct sunlight, and no glass-door bar fridge on the market is.

5. Beer, wine, or both

Single-zone models chill everything to one temperature; the twin-zone beer & wine models run two independent compartments so you can hold beer cold and wine at serving temperature at once. Sliding saddle shelves take any wine bottle size in either.

Schmick fridge questions, answered

Can a Schmick fridge go outside?

Schmick glass-door fridges are rated for indoor use and covered, enclosed outdoor areas out of direct sun, such as an alfresco kitchen or enclosed patio. They are not built for open-air exposure or direct sunlight.

What makes Schmick suited to Australian heat?

Schmick fridges use triple-glazed heated glass and oversized cooling systems that hold a steady internal temperature even at ambient temperatures past 38°C, well beyond what a standard bar fridge is designed to handle.

Which Schmick model can be built into cabinetry?

Choose a front-venting Schmick model for any built-in or under-bench install. It exhausts heat through the front so it can sit flush in joinery. Rear-vented models need 50mm clearance behind and suit freestanding use.

What does the heated glass do?

The heated inner pane stops condensation forming on the door in humid conditions. A manual switch lets you turn it off in dry weather to save power, and on if the glass starts to fog.

What warranty do Schmick fridges come with?

Schmick fridges carry a 2-year parts-and-labour warranty. My Acre manages any claim directly, so you deal with us rather than chasing the manufacturer.
