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 Mora MRB148N6AE that long and it costs about $1,034 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Mora MRB148N6AE 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 $80/year every year.
