Schmick SC88 Bar Fridge Range: Full Spec & Fitting Guide
If you've seen "SC88", "SC88L", "HUS-SC88-SS" or "HUS-SC88L-SS" pop up while shopping for an alfresco bar fridge, you're looking at Schmick's compact 88-litre outdoor upright — a single-door unit built to live on a patio, in an outdoor kitchen, or under a covered bar area. The core model is the HUS-SC88-SS, and the "L" you'll see on some listings (HUS-SC88L-SS) simply denotes the left-hinge version of the same fridge — everything else about the two is identical. The "HUS-" prefix carries across the whole family, including a couple of variant finishes (white and a "CyberPunk" stainless graphic) and a twin-unit combo pairing.
Below is the full spec breakdown for every SKU in the SC88 family, pulled straight from each model's product data — dimensions, hinge configuration, running costs and fitting notes, with no guesswork.
SC88 Range Overview
Every model in the SC88 family shares the same basic platform: a single glass door, freestanding installation, and a 10.0-star energy rating. Where the models are fully specified, they share:
- Width: 470mm
- Height: 850mm
- Depth: 500mm
- Noise Level: 41 dB
- Door Type: Glass (none of the SC88 single-door models are heated glass)
- Location Rating: Indoor and alfresco (outdoor-covered) use
- Lockable: Yes, on all specified models
The differences between models come down to hinge side, cabinet colour, and — for one variant — a lower noise figure. Full detail is in the model breakdown below.

Detailed Model Breakdown
HUS-SC88-SS: Stainless Steel, Right-Hinge
The HUS-SC88-SS is the standard SC88, finished in stainless steel with a right-hinged glass door. It's an 88-litre single-door unit rated for indoor and alfresco use, running at 1.7 kWh/24hrs with a 10.0-star energy rating and an estimated running cost of $159.10 a year. At 470mm wide, 850mm high and 500mm deep, it's built to slot into a compact bar nook, and it's lockable with a 2-year warranty.
HUS-SC88L-SS: Stainless Steel, Left-Hinge
The HUS-SC88L-SS is identical to the HUS-SC88-SS in every specified respect — same 88L capacity, same 470 x 850 x 500mm footprint, same 1.7 kWh/24hrs power draw, 10.0-star rating and $159.10/yr running cost — except the door is left-hinged instead of right-hinged. Choose whichever hinge side suits the direction you'll be walking up to the fridge.
HUS-SC88-WZ: White Finish, Under Zero
The HUS-SC88-WZ — listed under the "Under Zero" name — is the white-finish variant in the family, with the same right-hinged glass door and freestanding install as the HUS-SC88-SS. Its listed capacity is 98L against 1.7 kWh/24hrs power use, a 10.0-star energy rating and a $159.10/yr running cost, with the same 470 x 850 x 500mm dimensions and 41dB noise level as the stainless models.
HUS-SC88-ZZ: CyberPunk Stainless, Under Zero
The HUS-SC88-ZZ — the "CyberPunk" edition — keeps the 98L capacity and stainless finish, with a glass door and freestanding, indoor/alfresco-rated install. It's the quietest listed model in the SC88 family at 38dB, four decibels lower than the other variants, and carries the same 10.0-star energy rating. Dimensions, power draw, hinge side and running cost aren't specified for this SKU — check the product page for the full figures.
HUS-SC88-SS-COMBO: The Twin-Door Pairing
For anyone who wants double the door count, the HUS-SC88-SS-COMBO pairs two SC88 units side by side into a single 196L, 2-door stainless unit (940mm wide x 850mm high x 500mm deep, one left-hinge and one right-hinge door), drawing 3.4 kWh/24hrs at a $318.19/yr running cost.
Fitting & Ventilation Guide
Rear Ventilation Clearance
Where specified (HUS-SC88-SS, HUS-SC88L-SS and HUS-SC88-WZ), the SC88 requires 100mm of clearance at the rear for ventilation. This applies whether the fridge is freestanding or set into cabinetry — restricting rear airflow below this figure will affect cooling performance and running costs.
Built-In Cavity Allowance
For the HUS-SC88-SS, the listed built-in cavity allowance is 880mm high x 530mm wide x 600mm deep — 60mm wider and 100mm deeper than the fridge's own external dimensions, giving room for the 100mm rear vent clearance plus a little side tolerance. For the twin-door HUS-SC88-SS-COMBO, the cavity allowance is 880mm high x 1000mm wide x 600mm deep.
Door Swing
The HUS-SC88-SS opens right and the HUS-SC88L-SS opens left; the HUS-SC88-WZ opens right. Allow clear floor space in front of the fridge, on the hinge-opposite side, for the door to swing fully open.
