Electricity pricec/kWh

Total capacity: 152 L; 152 L fridge
Energy rating: 5; Star rating index 5.18
Annual electricity use: 94 kWh; Label figure (comparative energy consumption)
Estimated running cost: $31 / year; $2.59 / month · $310 over 10 years

10% less electricity than the median of 179 comparable Under 200 L bar fridge registrations (105 kWh a year). It uses less than 71% of them. At 33c/kWh that is about $4 a year less than the median, $36 over 10 years.

Uses 69% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (301 kWh a year MEPS level).

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

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.

Sub-Zero ICBDEU2450R running cost

Per month: $2.59
Per year: $31
5 years: $155
10 years: $310

94 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: 152 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: 152 L
Frozen storage volume: –
GEMS adjusted volume: 152 L
fresh food compartment: 152 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.
