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.

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.
