Neighbouring models
Right next to the Ikea IRS335SDH*0* on that list: GE Profile PHD23BYW**** ($120/yr, 638 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while KitchenAid KRSF705***** ($120/yr, 640 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Within the Ikea lineup
Ranked 18 of Ikea's 24 certified refrigerators, this sits between the HS-65LN(NA) TILLREDA N ($39/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the IX7DDEXGZ* ($129/yr, its priciest).
Cost over its typical lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the Ikea IRS335SDH*0* that long and it costs about $1,564 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Ikea IRS335SDH*0* 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 $120/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$120/year to run is the predictable cost of the Ikea IRS335SDH*0*; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
