At 1.7 kWh per day, this fridge will consume approximately 620.5 kWh annually, translating to roughly $246 per year based on typical Australian residential electricity rates (approximately 40 cents per kWh). This is noticeably higher than the category average of $187 annually, representing a $59 yearly premium. The trade-off reflects the triple-glazed door's thermal qualities and LED lighting rather than poor efficiency—acceptable for a style-focused outdoor unit.
