What sits beside it in the ranking
Thermador T18IF900SP ($79/yr, 418 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Miele F 2411 Vi. Miele F 2411 SF ($79/yr, 418 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the Miele lineup
Miele makes 20 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 4 of 20 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the FNS 7794 E at $66/yr, and its priciest, the F 2911 Vi at $102/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.
Weighing a replacement
The Miele F 2411 Vi is already efficient for its category at $79/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new freezer costs to run.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified freezers before buying.
Protecting what you have
A freezer like the Miele F 2411 Vi 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.
Sourcing
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. The 418 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
