Model
Vissani VSD57UPW
Rank #113 means 112 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 20th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 20% of those models.
What does the Vissani VSD57UPW cost to run per year?
Among the 622 freezer models we track, the Vissani VSD57UPW's $52/yr running cost ranks it #113, comfortably in the cheap-to-run group. It uses 11% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $58/yr to run, a saving of roughly $6 a year. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of just 20% of freezer models we track, a soft spot worth weighing against the dollar figure. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 5.7 cu ft (the class spans 1.1 to 23), size is the clearest lever we can point to for this model's running cost.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Tcl TRU06M3AW at $52/yr runs a little cheaper and the Danby DUFM060B1WDB at $52/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 Vissani VSD57UPW's $52/yr adds up to roughly $728 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Vissani VSD57UPW 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 $52/yr, here is what the Vissani VSD57UPW adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Vissani VSD57UPW costs about $520. That is roughly $60 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $580 over the same ten years.
How the Vissani VSD57UPW compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $52/yr, it runs about $23 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $27 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $58/yr, the Vissani VSD57UPW uses 11% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 5.7 cu ft, the Vissani VSD57UPW is a small freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is.
- Interior volume. As with refrigerators, more cubic feet of frozen storage generally means a bigger compressor and a higher annual energy figure.
- Insulation and defrost type. Better-insulated cabinets lose less cold to the surrounding room, and frost-free (automatic-defrost) freezers run a periodic heating element that a manual-defrost model does not.
- Chest vs upright design. Door orientation affects how much cold air escapes per opening: top-opening chest designs generally hold cold better than front-opening upright ones.
Common questions
Is the Vissani VSD57UPW cheap to run?
Yes. Its $52/yr running cost puts it at rank #113 of 622, below what most freezer models we track cost to run.
How much does the Vissani VSD57UPW cost per month?
About $4.3 a month, which is the $52 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 278 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $52 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Vissani VSD57UPW for its size?
20th 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.
