Lifespan

NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.

Shopping for a new one

At $85/year, this is on the expensive side for a freezer; the cheapest certified model in this category runs about $26/year, worth knowing before buying either the Beko BUFR2715SSIM or its replacement.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

Protecting what you have

A freezer like the Beko BUFR2715SSIM is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.

Sourcing
