Where this ranks
That's 9% above the freezer category average of 401 kWh/yr, and ranks 387 of 658 certified freezers for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. Every one of the 658 currently-certified freezers feeds that average, putting this model about $7/year over it. See how it's calculated on the how it is calculated page.
The closest alternatives by cost

Same brand, different models
Hisense makes 31 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 14 of 31 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the FV06C7ASE at $50/yr, and its priciest, the HUF210N6AE at $93/yr.
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 Hisense CFU17N6AE 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.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified freezers before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $82/year just to run, a freezer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
