1% less electricity than the median of 167 comparable Under 200 L bar fridge registrations (100 kWh a year). It uses less than 51% of them.
Uses 67% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (300 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.

- 151 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 151 L
- Frozen storage volume
- –
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 151 L
- fresh food compartment
- 151 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.
