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 Elisii DECVC210S 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 $93/year every year.

If you're keeping it
$93/year to run is the predictable cost of the Elisii DECVC210S; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
How this was checked
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. The full Freezer category page shows all 658 freezers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
