Neighbouring models
Right next to the ELEMENT EXUF17CEEW on that list: ELEMENT EXUF17CEES ($82/yr, 435 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while FARBERWARE FW-UFR171-I3B ($82/yr, 435 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Same brand, different models
Ranked 10 of ELEMENT's 18 certified freezers, this sits between the EUF14CDB ($74/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the EHUF21CECW ($93/yr, its priciest).
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
The ELEMENT EXUF17CEEW runs above its category average. If the freezer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $82/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
Whether or not the ELEMENT EXUF17CEEW ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a freezer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
