The closest alternatives by cost
Sorted by running cost among refrigerators, one step cheaper is ELEMENT ERFD19CGC ($103/yr, 549 kWh/yr), and one step pricier is KOOLMORE KM-RERFDSS-18C ($103/yr, 549 kWh/yr).
Within the Elisii lineup
Among Elisii's 23 certified refrigerators, this is the priciest to run, $64/year over the DECVC1382, the brand's cheapest.
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 Elisii DFDBM184W1 that long and it costs about $1,342 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Elisii DFDBM184W1 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 $103/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $103/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
