Westinghouse WIM1000WD Fridge
Westinghouse WIM1000WD is a 94 L bar fridge registered under Australia’s Energy Rating (GEMS) scheme (registration ARF4145).
- Total capacity
- 94 L
- 94 L fridge
- Energy rating
- 3.5
- Star rating index 3.51
- Annual electricity use
- 110 kWh
- Label figure (comparative energy consumption)
- Estimated running cost
- $35 / year
- $2.93 / month · $352 over 10 years
10% more electricity than the median of 167 comparable Under 200 L bar fridge registrations (100 kWh a year). It uses less than 35% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $3 a year more than the median, $32 over 10 years.
Uses 49% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (217 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.

- GEMS adjusted volume
- 94 L
- fresh food compartment
- 94 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.
