How efficient is it for its size?
Cohort: every currently registered 600–699 L french door 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.

Capacity and compartments
- Total gross volume
- 634 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 438 L
- Frozen storage volume
- 196 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 788 L

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.
