What this adds up to over time

Is it worth replacing?
At $111/year, this is on the expensive side for a refrigerator; the cheapest certified model in this category runs about $8/year, worth knowing before buying either the ILVE URFD36SIWPRY or its replacement.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
