48% more electricity than the median of 15 comparable 400โ€“499 L fridge without a separate freezer registrations (195 kWh a year). It uses less than 7% of them. At 33c/kWh that is about $31 a year more than the median, $310 over 10 years.

Uses 17% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (349 kWh a year MEPS level).

How efficient is it for its size?

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 15 comparable 400โ€“499 L fridge without a separate freezer registrations. Dot: this model (above the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 400โ€“499 L fridge without a separate 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.
