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 Frigidaire FFUV2126AV 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.

Protecting what you have
A freezer like the Frigidaire FFUV2126AV is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
