Crosley XCM22DM: running cost
At 346 kWh/yr, the Crosley XCM22DM's ENERGY STAR certification puts it cheaper than most models in its category to run against every other certified freezer.

Efficient, or not, for a freezer
Against the category average of 401 kWh/yr, this model uses 13.7% less, ranking 165 of 658 freezers tracked here for running cost. That average is drawn from all 658 freezers ENERGY STAR currently certifies, not an outside number, a $10/year gap from this model at the national rate. Full sourcing is in the sourcing notes.
Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Crosley XCM22DM: Fisher & Paykel RS18FE ($65/yr, 345 kWh/yr), then GE FCM22DL ($65/yr, 346 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
Of the 3 ENERGY STAR certified freezers Crosley makes, the XCM22DM is the cheapest to run, $28/year less than Crosley's priciest, the XUF21DM.
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
Efficient as certified freezers go, $65/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A freezer like the Crosley XCM22DM 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.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 346 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. At rank 165 of 658 for running cost, see the freezer category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
