Why You'll Love This
175 Cans, Front-Venting Design
Front venting means the fridge slides into a cabinet or under-bench cavity with minimal side clearance, the biggest capacity in this front-venting line-up.
Cools to 0°C Past 38°C
The compressor and heated glass hold 0°C in ambient heat past 38°C, backed by a Schmick electronic controller and Meanwell transformer for reliable long-term operation.
Genuinely Quiet at 43 dB
Quiet-running Schmick fans and an electronic controller keep this one of the quieter units in the range, suited to a living space.
Switchable White or Blue LED
Full LED strips on both sides and the inner roof switch between white and blue at the push of a button.
Features
Front Venting for Built-In Installs
The vent grille sits on the front face rather than the sides, so it can be framed into cabinetry with minimal clearance instead of standing exposed.
Schmick Electronic Controller
A quality Schmick electronic controller, Meanwell transformer and quiet running Schmick fans keep operation stable and efficient.
3 Adjustable Heavy-Duty Shelves
Two large shelves (470 x 430mm) plus a third (470 x 240mm) hold their line under a full load, with room for more than 7 slabs of cans.
Seamless Stainless Grille, Mirror Interior
A seamless 304 stainless grille and polished 304 mirror stainless interior sit behind a matte black cabinet, lockable for security in a shared space.

How it compares
This model. Biggest capacity in the front-venting range, still sized for a standard under-bench cavity.
Smaller footprint for a tighter cavity, same front-venting design and brand parts.
More capacity again across two doors, but side-vented and freestanding only, not built for cabinetry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this fridge go outside?
A: It's rated for indoor use and covered, enclosed outdoor areas out of direct sun, not open-air exposure. No glass door bar fridge is designed to sit in direct sunlight.
Can I get it left-hinged?
A: Yes. The door is available right or left hinged at the same price; My Acre can arrange whichever side suits the space.
What's the difference between the two finishes?
A: Both have a matte black cabinet. The standard finish has a stainless steel grille at $1,417, and the all-black option has a black grille for $1,437. Both come in either hinge.
What does front venting mean?
A: The vent grille sits on the front face rather than the sides, so the fridge can be framed into cabinetry with only 10mm side clearance instead of standing exposed with open sides.
How many cans does it hold?
A: 175 standard 375 mL cans across 3 adjustable shelves.
How loud is it running?
A: 43 dB, about as quiet as a library and well below normal conversation (60 dB).
What's the warranty and who handles a claim?
A: 2 years parts and labour. My Acre manages the claim directly so buyers aren't left chasing an overseas supplier.
What size opening do I need if I'm building it into cabinetry?
A: The fridge itself is 550W x 586D x 875H mm. Build the cavity to at least 570W x 636D x 885H mm to allow clearance and airflow, or leave it freestanding with no surrounding cabinetry at all.
