The CUB VB Glass Door Bar Fridge is a budget-friendly option designed specifically for Australian entertaining spaces, offering solid capacity and a reversible door at roughly 55% less than category average. It's a practical choice for casual beverage storage in man caves and entertainment areas, though it lacks some premium features found in pricier models.
Overview
At $597, the CUB VB sits significantly below the category average of $1334, making it one of the more affordable options on the market. Its noise level of 43dB is marginally higher than the category average of 42dB, a negligible difference in practical terms. The estimated annual running cost of $251 (based on 0.69 kWh/day) is well below the category average of $187/yr, though this assumes standard Australian electricity rates and may vary by region.

Running Costs
With a power consumption of 0.69 kWh per day, this fridge is reasonably efficient for its capacity. Based on Australian average electricity costs of approximately $0.37 per kWh, you can expect to spend roughly $93–$94 annually to run this unit, well below the category average of $187. Actual costs will vary depending on your state's electricity rates, ambient temperature, and how frequently the door is opened.
Dimensions & Installation
Suitable for indoor 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.
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 VB Glass Door Bar Fridge delivers excellent value for entertaining spaces, with genuine 85-can capacity and a reversible door at a price point roughly half the category average. It's a solid choice for Australian man caves and entertainment rooms, though buyers in humid climates should note the lack of heated glass.
