- 247 L
- 195 L fridge + 52 L freezer
- Energy rating
- 3
- Star rating index 3.02
- Annual electricity use
- 291 kWh
- Label figure (comparative energy consumption)
- Estimated running cost
- $93 / year
- $7.76 / month · $931 over 10 years
10% more electricity than the median of 41 comparable 200–299 L top-mount fridge freezer registrations (265 kWh a year). It uses less than 20% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $8 a year more than the median, $83 over 10 years.
Uses 20% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (363 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 200–299 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.

291 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
- 247 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 195 L
- Frozen storage volume
- 52 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 288 L
- fresh food compartment
- 195 L gross
- freezer compartment
- 52 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.
