That's 27.9% below the freezer category average of 401 kWh/yr, and ranks 123 of 658 certified freezers for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every freezer ENERGY STAR currently certifies (658 models), not an outside benchmark, about $21/year below that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Marathon MUF65BLS ($54/yr, 289 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the EuroDesign EDV064S. Criterion CUF63P1W ($54/yr, 289 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the EuroDesign lineup
The EuroDesign EDV064S is the only freezer from EuroDesign 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.
Shopping for a new one
The EuroDesign EDV064S is already efficient for its category at $54/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new freezer costs to run.

Protecting what you have
Whether or not the EuroDesign EDV064S ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a freezer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Sourcing
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. The 289 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
