3% less electricity than the median of 31 comparable 250โ€“349 L upright freezer registrations (263 kWh a year). It uses less than 55% of them. At 33c/kWh that is about $2 a year less than the median, $23 over 10 years.

Uses 54% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (552 kWh a year MEPS level).

How efficient is it for its size?

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 31 comparable 250โ€“349 L upright freezer registrations. Dot: this model (below the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 250โ€“349 L upright freezer sold in New Zealand, 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.
