About the same electricity as the median of 69 comparable 150โ€“249 L upright freezer registrations (236 kWh a year). It uses less than 48% of them.

Uses 28% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (329 kWh a year MEPS level).

How efficient is it for its size?

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 69 comparable 150โ€“249 L upright freezer registrations. Dot: this model (below the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 150โ€“249 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.
