Mora RB220P5S*EM against the category

That's 52.1% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 3,981 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every refrigerator ENERGY STAR currently certifies (4,704 models), not an outside benchmark, about $38/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.

What sits beside it in the ranking

Bertazzoni REF36FDFIXN* ($111/yr, 588 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Mora RB220P5S*EM. Mora MRB221N6B*E ($110/yr, 587 kWh/yr) costs a little less.

Comparing Mora's own models

Mora makes 22 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 18 of 22 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the RT073N1G*EM at $55/yr, and its priciest, the MRM260N6T*EW at $130/yr.

Mora RB220P5S*EM over 13 years

13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $110/year, the Mora RB220P5S*EM adds up to about $1,435 in electricity over that span.

Shopping for a new one

The Mora RB220P5S*EM 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 $110/year every year.

Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.

Protecting what you have

A refrigerator like the Mora RB220P5S*EM is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.

Sourcing

Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 587 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. At rank 3,981 of 4,704 for running cost, see the refrigerator category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
