- 238 L freezer
- Energy rating
- 2.5
- Star rating index 2.52
- Annual electricity use
- 306 kWh
- Label figure (comparative energy consumption)
- Estimated running cost
- $98 / year
- $8.16 / month · $979 over 10 years
30% more electricity than the median of 61 comparable 150–249 L upright freezer registrations (236 kWh a year). It uses less than 3% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $22 a year more than the median, $224 over 10 years.
Uses 34% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (465 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.

- –
- Frozen storage volume
- 238 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 425 L
- freezer compartment
- 238 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.
