- $8.93 / month · $1,072 over 10 years
8% more electricity than the median of 14 comparable 350–499 L chest freezer registrations (312 kWh a year). It uses less than 29% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $8 a year more than the median, $75 over 10 years.
Uses 29% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (474 kWh a year MEPS level).
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 350–499 L chest 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.

- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- –
- Frozen storage volume
- 373 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 666 L
- freezer compartment
- 373 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.
