How efficient is it for its size?
Cohort: every currently registered Under 200 L fridge freezer (manual-defrost 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
- 86 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 60 L
- Frozen storage volume
- 26 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 106 L
- fresh food compartment
