The median across 80 sampled freezers is $73.95/yr, with the middle half between $51.00/yr and $83.81/yr. These figures apply the site-wide rate assumption of $0.17/kWh to the certified annual kWh reported by each manufacturer.
Each of the 80 freezers listed here uses the annual kWh reported for that exact model in the EPA ENERGY STAR certified dataset, multiplied by a flat $0.17/kWh. For this category that produces a range of $33.32/yr to $107.44/yr around a $73.95/yr median. Nothing here is measured or estimated by this site and no external benchmark is mixed in, so if your local rate differs you can scale every figure by the same factor - the ranking between models does not change.
