19% more electricity than the median of 32 comparable 500 L and above chest freezer registrations (404 kWh a year). It uses less than 13% of them. At 33c/kWh that is about $25 a year more than the median, $251 over 10 years.

Uses 33% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (720 kWh a year MEPS level).

Cost = label kWh ร— 33c/kWh in NZD; change the price above to your tariff.

How efficient is it for its size?

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 32 comparable 500 L and above chest freezer registrations. Dot: this model (above the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 500 L and above chest 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.
