The CUB Corona Beer branded bar fridge is a premium upright model positioned at the top end of the market, offering a 160-litre capacity with triple glazed LOW E glass and security features. It's well-suited for entertaining spaces where brand visibility matters, though it commands a price premium over category averages.
Overview
At $1367, the CUB sits marginally above the category average of $1332, reflecting its premium Corona branding and triple glazed glass construction. Its 43 dB noise level is 1 dB above the category average of 42 dB—a negligible difference unlikely to be perceptible. However, the stated daily power consumption of 2.1 kWh is notably higher than the category running cost average of $187 annually (approximately 0.51 kWh/day equivalent), suggesting annual running costs could reach around $290 AUD, placing it in the less efficient segment.
How It Compares
Based on 350 similar fridges
Running Costs
At 2.1 kWh per day, this fridge consumes substantially more energy than the category average, translating to approximately 766 kWh annually. Based on typical Australian electricity rates, this equates to estimated annual running costs of around $290 AUD—significantly higher than the category average of $187 annually. The triple glazed LOW E glass should theoretically improve efficiency, but the actual consumption figures suggest real-world performance is less efficient than peer products. This is an important consideration for long-term ownership costs, particularly in frequently-used entertaining spaces.
Dimensions & Installation
Suitable for indoor or outdoor settings.
Where You Can Use It
At 43dB, 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.
Rated for outdoor use including exposed areas. Note: this model does not include heated glass. In humid or coastal climates, you may get condensation fogging on the glass door — consider a model with heated glass if that's a concern.
Noise Level
Fine for a kitchen or living room — you'll hear it if the room is dead silent, but it won't compete with conversation.

Bottom Line
The CUB Corona bar fridge is a stylish, feature-rich choice for brand-conscious entertainers willing to invest in premium aesthetics and security features, though its higher energy consumption suggests it's best suited to locations where operating costs are less critical. Consider the running cost implications and installation permanence before committing, particularly if budget flexibility is limited.
