Mini fridge for the home theater

>Here are a few factors to consider when you are choosing an important home theater accessory - a fridge.

  • Avoid shiny surfaces. A wood finish is preferable to steel, chrome or anything that can reflect light.
  • It must be very quiet. Better yet, make sure you can easily turn the unit off with an accessible switch. As long as all you keep in it is drinks, this should be no problem.
  • Consider installing the fridge in a specifically designed enclosed space. This will resolve the problem of shiny surfaces. Also, you can use extra sound-proofing materials - they can even double as a way of insulating the unit.
  • If you have a lot of seating in your home theater, consider installing a couple of mini-fridges. This will cut down on excessive walking, talking and passing of the drinks during the show. Smaller units will also be a lot easier to fit into whatever design you are planning. A big fridge really only belongs in the kitchen!
  • Consider if a cooler would serve your needs just as well. You will cut down on electricity, the noise and possible interference with the audio signal.
