Introduction

Looking for an upright glass door bar fridge that combines style, capacity, and commercial-grade reliability? The Schmick HUS-SC700W, available at King Cave, is designed for those who want maximum visibility of their drinks, flexible storage, and energy efficiency. In this article, we break down the specs, standout features, and who this fridge is best suited for—whether you're outfitting a man cave, alfresco area, or a bustling venue.

Key Specifications

What We Love

1. Triple Glazed Glass Door for Superior Insulation
The triple glazed glass not only looks sharp but also provides excellent insulation, helping keep your drinks colder and reducing energy use. This is especially important in alfresco or high-traffic areas where temperature stability matters.

2. Highly Flexible Storage
With 7 adjustable shelves and an impressive 117 shelf height positions, you can customise the interior to fit everything from cans to tall bottles. This flexibility is a real asset for venues that need to adapt their offering or for home entertainers who want to maximise space.

3. Easy Mobility and Presentation
Castor wheels make repositioning or cleaning a breeze, while LED lighting ensures your drinks are always attractively displayed—perfect for commercial presentation or showing off your collection at home.

Who Is This For?

The Schmick HUS-SC700W is ideal for:

• Man caves, home bars, and theatre rooms wanting a statement piece that keeps drinks visible and cold.
• Commercial venues (cafes, bars, clubs) needing a reliable upright glass door bar fridge with high capacity and flexible shelving.
• Alfresco entertaining areas where insulation and energy efficiency are important thanks to the triple glazed glass and 8-star energy rating.
• Event spaces that need to move their fridge for cleaning or layout changes, thanks to the castor wheels.

If you need a lockable fridge for high-security environments, or a reversible door for tight spaces, this may not be the best fit (see below).

Things to Consider

• No Door Lock: The HUS-SC700W is not lockable, so if you require secure storage, consider a model with a lock.
• Right Hinged, Non-Reversible Door: The door is right-hinged and not reversible, so plan your placement accordingly.
• Indoor/Alfresco Use Only: While suitable for alfresco areas, it’s not designed for full outdoor exposure or extreme heat (max ambient 32°C).
• No Adjustable Feet: The fridge does not have adjustable feet, so ensure your floor is level for best performance.

The Verdict

The Schmick HUS-SC700W upright glass door bar fridge is a strong choice for anyone needing a large, visually striking, and energy-efficient bar fridge. Its triple glazed glass, flexible shelving, and commercial-grade build make it well-suited to man caves, alfresco entertaining, and busy venues. While it lacks a door lock and reversible door, its other features more than make up for these limitations for most users. If you need a secure, flexible, and impressive upright glass door bar fridge, the HUS-SC700W is available in our range and ready to elevate your space.

FAQ

What is triple glazed glass and why does it matter in bar fridges?

Triple glazed glass means the door has three layers of glass, providing better insulation than single or double glazing. This keeps cold air in and warm air out, improving energy efficiency and maintaining a stable temperature—especially important in commercial or alfresco settings.

How much energy does the HUS-SC700W use?

The HUS-SC700W uses 1.624 kWh per 24 hours, which is efficient for a fridge of this size (737 litres). It also has an 8-star energy rating, helping to keep running costs down.

How do I choose the right upright glass door bar fridge for my venue?

Consider your required capacity, door type (glass for display, solid for storage), energy efficiency, shelving flexibility, and whether you need features like locks or reversible doors. The HUS-SC700W is ideal if you want high capacity, display appeal, and flexible shelving, but isn’t lockable or reversible.
