When this arrived we decided to put it in our family room because we spend a lot of time there and entertain there as well. Having beverages close by has been amazing for family movie night or game night. No need to leave the movie to get a beverage. It's perfect when the kids have friends over for marathon video game sessions. Things like soda and Hawaiian punch are handy. The unit is super quiet so it doesn't interfere with watching movies. You don't even know it's there! So happy to have this product!
