12% more electricity than the median of 33 comparable Under 150 L upright freezer registrations (175 kWh a year). It uses less than 27% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $7 a year more than the median, $67 over 10 years.

Cost = label kWh × 32c/kWh in AUD; change the price above to your tariff.
How efficient is it for its size?
Cohort: every currently registered Under 150 L upright freezer sold in Australia, counted once per registration. Star ratings already account for size through the GEMS adjusted-volume formula; this comparison is in raw kWh against models a buyer would actually consider instead.

- Frozen storage volume
- 83 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 148 L
- freezer compartment
- 83 L gross
Gross volumes exclude shelving. Fresh food = fresh food, chill and cellar compartments; frozen = freezer, two-star and ice-making (zero-star) compartments. Adjusted volume weights frozen space more heavily and is what the government uses to set the star rating for the size.
