12% less electricity than the median of 61 comparable 150–249 L upright freezer registrations (236 kWh a year). It uses less than 84% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $9 a year less than the median, $93 over 10 years.

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
- 213 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 380 L
- freezer compartment
- 213 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.
