Cohort: every currently registered Under 200 L bar fridge 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.

Chiq CCF14**E running cost

Per month: $2.15
Per year: $26
5 years: $129
10 years: $257

78 kWh × 33c/kWh. No inflation or tariff change assumed. Fridges run continuously, so the label figure is a whole-year estimate under standard test conditions.

Capacity and compartments

Total gross volume: 146 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: 146 L
Frozen storage volume: –
GEMS adjusted volume: 146 L
fresh food compartment: 146 L gross, 166 L net

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.
