Shopping for a new one
At $93/year, this is on the expensive side for a freezer; the cheapest certified model in this category runs about $26/year, worth knowing before buying either the Midea WHS-772FWESS1 or its replacement.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $93/year just to run, a freezer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
