How efficient is it for its size?

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.

Capacity and compartments
- Total gross volume
- 107 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 92 L
- Frozen storage volume

- GEMS adjusted volume
- 119 L
