23% more electricity than the median of 167 comparable Under 200 L bar fridge registrations (100 kWh a year). It uses less than 28% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $7 a year more than the median, $74 over 10 years.
Uses 40% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (204 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.
