Energy rating: 3; Star rating index 3.01
Annual electricity use: 307 kWh; Label figure (comparative energy consumption)
Estimated running cost: $98 / year; $8.19 / month · $982 over 10 years

16% more electricity than the median of 41 comparable 200–299 L top-mount fridge freezer registrations (265 kWh a year). It uses less than 5% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $13 a year more than the median, $134 over 10 years.

Uses 15% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (363 kWh a year MEPS level).

Cost = label kWh × 32c/kWh in AUD; change the price above to your tariff.

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 41 comparable 200–299 L top-mount fridge freezer registrations. Dot: this model (above the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 200–299 L top-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 GGSTM266S running cost

Per month: $8.19
Per year: $98
5 years: $491
10 years: $982

307 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: 266 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: 206 L
Frozen storage volume: 60 L
GEMS adjusted volume: 313 L
fresh food compartment: 206 L gross
freezer compartment: 60 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.
