9% less electricity than the median of 50 comparable 300–399 L top-mount fridge freezer registrations (312 kWh a year). It uses less than 82% of them. At 33c/kWh that is about $10 a year less than the median, $97 over 10 years.
Uses 25% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (375 kWh a year MEPS level).
Cost = label kWh × 33c/kWh in NZD; change the price above to your tariff.
How efficient is it for its size?
Cohort: every currently registered 300–399 L top-mount fridge 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.

282 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
- 315 L
- Fresh food (fridge) volume
- 236 L
- Frozen storage volume
- 79 L
- GEMS adjusted volume
- 377 L
- freezer compartment
- 79 L gross
- fresh food compartment
- 236 L gross
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.
