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.

Is it worth replacing?

The Miele F 2911 Vi 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 $102/year every year.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

If you're keeping it

$102/year to run is the predictable cost of the Miele F 2911 Vi; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
