What sits beside it in the ranking
TRUARCTIC TRBM1930MSS ($88/yr, 466 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the OMNImax 3750-247. OMNImax 3750-001 ($88/yr, 466 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Comparing OMNImax's own models
OMNImax makes 16 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 10 of 16 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the 3730-937 at $40/yr, and its priciest, the 3760-675 at $111/yr.
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 OMNImax 3750-247 that long and it costs about $1,139 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The OMNImax 3750-247 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 $88/year every year.
