The CUB Great Northern is a premium 160-litre upright bar fridge positioned slightly above category average pricing, offering triple glazed LOW E glass and a security lock for hospitality and entertaining spaces. Its solid noise and power consumption metrics make it a practical choice for indoor or outdoor placement.
Overview
At $1,367, the CUB is marginally above the category average of $1,332, representing fair value positioning. Its noise output at 43 dB is slightly above the 42 dB category average, though the difference is negligible in practical terms. The power consumption of 2.1 kWh/day translates to approximately $191–$206 annually (at typical Australian rates), slightly higher than the $187 category average, but the premium glass specification and security features justify the modest increase.

Running Costs
At 2.1 kWh per day, annual electricity consumption reaches approximately 766 kWh, costing roughly $191–$206 per year based on current Australian electricity rates (typical residential rates of 25–27 cents per kWh). This is marginally above the category average of $187 annually; however, the premium triple glazed LOW E glass helps offset costs by minimising heat transfer. For a fridge in regular use for entertaining, this represents reasonable energy efficiency for the capacity and features offered.
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 Great Northern delivers premium entertaining-focused features—security, superior glazing, and generous capacity—at a fair category-aligned price. It suits buyers prioritising a secure, attractive bar fridge for high-traffic spaces, though limited mobility and fixed door orientation require careful installation planning.
