Compact Front-Venting Bar Fridge for Tight Cavities
The Schmick 89L is the smallest front-venting bar fridge in the range, holding 96 cans, with heated glass to stop condensation. Front venting lets it slide into a cabinet or under-bench cavity without needing side airflow.

Perfect For
- The tightest under-bench cavities in the range, at just 650mm tall
- Home bars and studies wanting a genuinely quiet, brand-parts fridge
- Buyers who want a choice of stainless or black finish, in either door hinge
Why You'll Love This
96 Cans in the Smallest Footprint Here
Front venting means the fridge slides into a cabinet or under-bench cavity with minimal side clearance, in the shortest cabinet in the front-venting range.
Cools to 0°C Past 38°C
The compressor and heated glass hold 0°C in ambient heat past 38°C, backed by a Meanwell transformer and quiet-running Schmick fans.
Stainless or Black Finish
Choose an all-stainless grille for $100 more, or a black grille, both in either door hinge.
Genuinely Quiet at 43 dB
Quiet-running Schmick fans keep this one of the quieter units in the range, suited to a study or bedroom.
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.
2 Large Adjustable Shelves
Two heavy-duty adjustable shelves hold their line under a full load of cans or bottles.
Switchable White or Blue LED
Interior lighting switches between white and blue at the push of a button, to suit the room.
Lockable Door
The door locks for security in a shared space, with a polished mirror stainless interior behind the finish of your choice.

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.
Stainless or black?
A: Black is $1,047 and stainless is $1,147, both with a polished mirror stainless interior and switchable LED lighting, 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: 96 standard 375 mL cans across 2 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 495W x 570D x 650H mm. Build the cavity to at least 515W x 620D x 660H mm to allow clearance and airflow, or leave it freestanding with no surrounding cabinetry at all.
