Protecting what you have
A freezer like the KOOLMORE KM-PRC-F24 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.
The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 511 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. 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.
