The Schmick JC132B-B-860 is a sleek and powerful under bench bar fridge designed for style, efficiency, and quiet performance. Featuring a full black doorframe and grill (note: some images show stainless steel grills—this model is all black; see JC132B-860 for stainless steel), it offers a modern, understated look ideal for any home bar or man cave.
Triple glazed LOW E glass reduces condensation and keeps internal temperatures stable, while the German Danfoss ECO controller manages energy use with an efficient economy mode for times when you’re away. The fridge is equipped with whisper-quiet Noctua fans and heavy-duty chrome adjustable shelving, with the option to add specialised wine racks.
The front venting design allows seamless installation under benches, maintaining airflow without compromising your sleek kitchen or bar aesthetic. Plus, this model can be raised from 800mm to 860mm in height using the handy ‘Highrise’ kit option for added flexibility.
