Model
Beko BUFR2715SSIM
Rank #419 means 418 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 40th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 40% of those models.
What does the Beko BUFR2715SSIM cost to run per year?
At $84 a year to run, the Beko BUFR2715SSIM runs more expensively than most models in its class, ranking #419 of 622 freezer models we track. It uses 16% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $97/yr to run, a saving of roughly $13 a year. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 40 is fairly typical for the class, neither a standout nor a laggard. At 13.8 cu ft, it is a mid-size freezer for the class, which runs 1.1 to 23 cu ft; size and efficiency are the two levers behind the figure above, and this dataset does not carry a separate efficiency-factor column for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Frigidaire FFUE1826AW at $83/yr runs a little cheaper and the Bertazzoni REF18FCBIPLV at $84/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A freezer typically stays in service for somewhere around 14 years; over that span, the Beko BUFR2715SSIM's $84/yr adds up to roughly $1176 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Beko BUFR2715SSIM normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $84/yr, here is what the Beko BUFR2715SSIM adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Beko BUFR2715SSIM costs about $840. That is roughly $130 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $970 over the same ten years.
How the Beko BUFR2715SSIM compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $84/yr, it runs about $9 a year above the class median of $75, and it is about $59 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $97/yr, the Beko BUFR2715SSIM uses 16% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 13.8 cu ft, the Beko BUFR2715SSIM is a mid-size freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, neither the size advantage of a small unit nor the size penalty of a large one applies here, so its running cost is a fairer test of efficiency alone.
- Interior volume. Cubic feet of frozen storage is the first lever behind a freezer's running cost, ahead of insulation or defrost type.
- Insulation and defrost type. Two freezers of the same size can differ meaningfully on running cost based on insulation quality and whether they run an automatic-defrost heater.
- Chest vs upright design. Chest freezers open from the top, so cold air, which sinks, stays inside when the lid opens; upright freezers lose more cold air per door opening for a similar capacity.
Common questions
Is the Beko BUFR2715SSIM cheap to run?
Not especially. At $84 a year it ranks #419 of 622 freezer models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Beko BUFR2715SSIM cost per month?
Roughly $6.96/mo, spreading the $84/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 450 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $84 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Beko BUFR2715SSIM for its size?
40th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
