The CUB portable fridge-freezer offers exceptional versatility with triple power compatibility (12V, 24V, 240V) and tropical-rated construction at a competitive price point. Its quiet operation and substantial 69-can capacity make it a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts and off-grid applications.
Overview
At $997, the CUB is priced $336 below the category average of $1333, offering excellent value in the bar fridge market. Its 43 dB noise level is marginally above the category average of 42 dB, making it competitively quiet for a portable unit with this capacity and versatile power options. The twin-power capability (12V/24V/240V) distinguishes it from standard single-voltage alternatives.

Running Costs
The CUB is not provided with a specified annual running cost figure. Based on the category average of $187 annually, you can estimate similar ongoing electricity expenses for 240V mains operation. For 12V or 24V use (vehicle/caravan power), running costs depend entirely on your power source; solar-equipped vehicles or caravans will see minimal cost. The electronic thermostat helps optimise energy consumption, though exact efficiency metrics are not available from the manufacturer.
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 offers excellent value and versatility for $997, combining quiet operation with multi-voltage flexibility and tropical durability. It's ideal for caravanners, outdoor entertainers, and anyone needing a robust, portable cooling solution.
