Cost over its typical lifespan
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the Midea MRF29D9 costs roughly $1,816 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Weighing a replacement
The Midea MRF29D9 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 $140/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The Midea MRF29D9 already costs $140/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
