How efficient is it for its size?
Cohort: every currently registered 400–499 L wine or drinks cabinet (cooled appliance) 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.

335 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
- 424 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 323 L
- Frozen storage volume
