The CUB Great Northern is a solid mid-range bar fridge offering quiet operation and practical features like triple-glazed glass doors and adjustable shelving. At $1397, it's competitively priced and performs well on noise levels, making it a reliable choice for home entertainment spaces.
Overview
The CUB sits marginally above the category average price at $1397 versus $1332, but justifies this with notably quieter operation at 41 dB compared to the category average of 42 dB. Energy consumption of 1.6 kWh/day aligns well with typical bar fridge efficiency. The triple-glazed glass door and security lock are practical additions that appeal to entertainment-focused buyers.

Running Costs
At 1.6 kWh per day, the CUB's annual running cost is approximately $187 AUD (based on category average), which is competitive for a triple-glazed bar fridge. This efficiency reflects the insulation benefits of the triple-glazed door design. Over a typical 10-year lifespan, energy costs would be roughly $1870, so the unit's quiet operation doesn't come at the expense of higher electricity consumption.
Dimensions & Installation
Suitable for indoor settings.
Where You Can Use It
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.
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.
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 Great Northern bar fridge is a well-specified option for entertainment spaces, delivering quiet operation and practical locking security at a competitive price. However, verify that the right-hinge configuration suits your layout and confirm you don't need the castors mentioned in the marketing description.
