The CUB Carlton Dry Bar Fridge is a premium upright option with triple-glazed glass doors and quiet operation at 41 dB. It's positioned slightly above category average price but delivers solid performance for entertainment spaces.

Overview

At $1397, this CUB fridge sits $65 above the category average of $1332, positioning it as a premium option. Its 41 dB noise level is marginally quieter than the 42 dB category average, making it one of the quieter options available. However, the estimated running cost of approximately $584 annually (based on 1.6 kWh/day) exceeds the category average of $187/yr, suggesting higher energy consumption than typical bar fridge models.

5yr Savings vs Avg

At 1.6 kWh per day, this fridge will cost approximately $584 annually to operate (based on typical Australian residential electricity rates around $0.40/kWh). This is notably higher than the category average running cost of $187/yr, indicating this model consumes significantly more energy than most bar fridges. Budget-conscious buyers should factor this ongoing cost into their purchase decision, as it will substantially exceed savings from the relatively modest price premium over category average.

Where You Can Use It

Indoor

Suitable

At 41dB, this is one of the quieter bar fridges on the market — you can comfortably run it in a kitchen, living area, or home office without it becoming background noise you notice.

Outdoor

Not Rated

This fridge is rated for indoor use only. If you need something for an outdoor area, look for a model rated for alfresco or outdoor use. It doesn't have heated glass either, so even in a warm indoor spot you may see some condensation on the glass door during humid weather.

Bottom Line

The CUB Carlton Dry is a stylish, quiet bar fridge suited to entertainment spaces where aesthetics and noise control matter more than energy economy. However, the significantly higher-than-average running costs and missing castor wheels despite product description claims warrant careful consideration before purchase.
