- Energy rating
- 4
- Star rating index 4.02
- Annual electricity use
- 105 kWh

- $2.80 / month · $336 over 10 years
5% more electricity than the median of 167 comparable Under 200 L bar fridge registrations (100 kWh a year). It uses less than 45% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $2 a year more than the median, $16 over 10 years.
Uses 57% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (246 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 Under 200 L bar fridge 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.

105 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

- 110 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 110 L
- Frozen storage volume
- –
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 110 L
- fresh food compartment
- 110 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.
