- 344 L fridge + 99 L freezer
- Energy rating
- 4.5
- Star rating index 4.51
- Annual electricity use

- $8.24 / month · $989 over 10 years
6% less electricity than the median of 39 comparable 400–499 L top-mount fridge freezer registrations (329 kWh a year). It uses less than 80% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $6 a year less than the median, $64 over 10 years.
Uses 26% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (420 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 400–499 L top-mount fridge 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.

309 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
- Total gross volume
- 443 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 344 L
- Frozen storage volume
- 99 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 521 L
- fresh food compartment
- 344 L gross
- freezer compartment
- 99 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.
