Within the Bertazzoni lineup
Bertazzoni makes 31 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 23 of 31 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the REF24RCBPNV at $55/yr, and its priciest, the REF36FDFZXNT at $124/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 Bertazzoni REF36FDFZXN2V that long and it costs about $1,391 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Bertazzoni REF36FDFZXN2V 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 $107/year every year.

Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Bertazzoni REF36FDFZXN2V 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.
