kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 48 comparable 300–399 L bottom-mount fridge freezer registrations. Dot: this model (below the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 300–399 L bottom-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.

Solt GGSBM325 Series running cost

Per month: $7.39
Per year: $89
5 years: $443
10 years: $886

277 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: 325 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: 235 L
Frozen storage volume: 90 L
GEMS adjusted volume: 396 L
fresh food compartment: 235 L gross
freezer compartment: 90 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.
