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.
Shopping for a new one
At $109/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 Monogram ZIF301NBR or its replacement.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
The Monogram ZIF301NBR already costs $109/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
