Comparing Commercial Cool's own models
Commercial Cool makes 21 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 16 of 21 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the CCUK12W at $41/yr, and its priciest, the CCR2000GIMW at $88/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 Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB that long and it costs about $1,102 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB 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 $85/year every year.

Protecting what you have
At $85/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
