Where this ranks

That's 44% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 3,797 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. Every one of the 4,704 currently-certified refrigerators feeds that average, putting this model about $32/year over it. See how it's calculated on the how it is calculated page.

The closest alternatives by cost

Sorted by running cost among refrigerators, one step cheaper is Beko BBBF3019IMWE ($105/yr, 556 kWh/yr), and one step pricier is Blomberg BRFB1920FBI ($105/yr, 556 kWh/yr).

Same brand, different models

Beko makes 36 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 31 of 36 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the BFBF2414SS at $54/yr, and its priciest, the BFSB3612XSS at $112/yr.

What this adds up to over time

NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the Beko BBBF3019IMWESS that long and it costs about $1,359 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.

Weighing a replacement

The Beko BBBF3019IMWESS runs above its category average. If the refrigerator 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 $105/year every year.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

Protecting what you have

A refrigerator like the Beko BBBF3019IMWESS 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.
