Neighbouring models
Right next to the Vissani MDTF18SSR on that list: TRUARCTIC TMRTM1830W ($84/yr, 446 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while Frigidaire FFHI1832T ($84/yr, 447 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Comparing Vissani's own models
Ranked 105 of Vissani's 112 certified refrigerators, this sits between the HVR32GSEF ($41/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the MDBF18SS ($103/yr, its priciest).
Cost over its typical lifespan
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the Vissani MDTF18SSR costs roughly $1,090 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Weighing a replacement
The Vissani MDTF18SSR 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 $84/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $84/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
