Model
Blomberg BRUF2814WH
Rank #142 means 141 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 99th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 99% of those models.
What does the Blomberg BRUF2814WH cost to run per year?
Ranking #142 of 622, the Blomberg BRUF2814WH is in the cheaper half of its class to run, at about $57 a year. It uses 31% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $83/yr to run, a saving of roughly $26 a year. Adjusted for its size, it is more efficient than 99% of freezer models we track, one of the strongest results in the whole class. At 14.3 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 Beko BUFR2715WH at $57/yr runs a little cheaper and the Marathon MUF80BLS at $57/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 Blomberg BRUF2814WH's $57/yr adds up to roughly $798 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Blomberg BRUF2814WH 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 $57/yr, here is what the Blomberg BRUF2814WH adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Blomberg BRUF2814WH costs about $570. That is roughly $260 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $830 over the same ten years.
How the Blomberg BRUF2814WH compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $57/yr, it runs about $18 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $32 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $83/yr, the Blomberg BRUF2814WH uses 31% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 14.3 cu ft, the Blomberg BRUF2814WH is a mid-size freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, right in the middle of the capacity range, so capacity is roughly a wash compared with the rest of the class.
- 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 Blomberg BRUF2814WH cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $57 a year it ranks #142 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Blomberg BRUF2814WH cost per month?
Roughly $4.72/mo, spreading the $57/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 305 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $57 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Blomberg BRUF2814WH for its size?
99th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
