Weighing a replacement
The Elisii DFFFD1738-28BLK-LS 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 $84/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$84/year to run is the predictable cost of the Elisii DFFFD1738-28BLK-LS; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
