Euro EV/EF204 Freezer
Euro EV/EF204 is a 204 L upright freezer registered under Australia’s Energy Rating (GEMS) scheme (registration ARF3084).
- Total capacity
- 204 L
- 204 L freezer
- Energy rating
- 3
- Star rating index 3.01
- Annual electricity use
- 258 kWh
- Label figure (comparative energy consumption)
- Estimated running cost
- $83 / year
- $6.88 / month · $826 over 10 years
9% more electricity than the median of 61 comparable 150–249 L upright freezer registrations (236 kWh a year). It uses less than 20% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $7 a year more than the median, $70 over 10 years.
Uses 44% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (457 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 150–249 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.

258 kWh × 32c/kWh. No inflation or tariff change assumed. Fridges run continuously, so the label figure is a whole-year estimate under standard test conditions.

- Frozen storage volume
- 204 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 364 L
- freezer compartment
- 204 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.
