About the SKS SKSUD2402 series

The SKS SKSUD2402 series is a 3.4 cu ft compact freezer certified by ENERGY STAR. Its official test figure is 275 kWh of electricity a year, which at the U.S. average price of 18.19¢ per kWh comes to $50 a year, or $600 over a typical 12-year life.

That is 33% less energy than the federal maximum for this type of freezer (412 kWh a year), a saving of about $25 a year compared with a model that only just meets the standard.

Among 113 compact models it ranks #59 for running cost. The cheapest model of this type would save $301 in electricity over 12 years, though it may differ in size and features.

If you want the same type and a similar size for less to run, the Avanti CF24Q0W uses 137 kWh a year and would save about $301 over 12 years.

Listed features: auto defrost.
