Efficient as certified freezers go, $42/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
Whether or not the Midea MRC07M7AWW ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a freezer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
