What sits beside it in the ranking
Frigidaire FPFU19F8W ($98/yr, 521 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Electrolux EI33AF80W. West Bend WB230VFLJM# ($98/yr, 520 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the Electrolux lineup
The Electrolux EI33AF80W is the only freezer from Electrolux that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full freezer category.
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.
Weighing a replacement
At $98/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 Electrolux EI33AF80W or its replacement.

Protecting what you have
The Electrolux EI33AF80W already costs $98/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Sourcing
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. Ranked 604 of 658, the Electrolux EI33AF80W sits in the middle of the freezer category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math.
