34% more electricity than the median of 40 comparable 150–249 L chest freezer registrations (208 kWh a year). It uses less than 0% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $23 a year more than the median, $227 over 10 years.
Uses 25% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (374 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 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.

279 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.
Capacity and compartments

- –
- Frozen storage volume
- 246 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 439 L
- freezer compartment
- 246 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.
