About the same electricity as the median of 27 comparable 500 L and above chest freezer registrations (390 kWh a year). It uses less than 48% of them.

Uses 47% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (733 kWh a year MEPS level).

Cost = label kWh Γ— 32c/kWh in AUD; change the price above to your tariff.

How efficient is it for its size?

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 27 comparable 500 L and above chest freezer registrations. Dot: this model (below the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 500 L and above 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.

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.
