Model
Gaggenau RVW467770
Rank #41 means 40 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 100th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 100% of those models.
What does the Gaggenau RVW467770 cost to run per year?
Few refrigerator models we track undercut the Gaggenau RVW467770 on cost; at about $34 a year it holds rank #41 of 1,000. It uses 30% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $49/yr to run, a saving of roughly $15 a year. Adjusted for its size, it is more efficient than 100% of refrigerator models we track, one of the strongest results in the whole class. It is a counter-depth model, built shallower to sit flush with kitchen cabinets, a design choice that typically trades away some interior volume (and so some running-cost headroom) for the built-in look.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Viking Range,Llc FDWCIC7240R at $33/yr runs a little cheaper and the Danby DAG016A5BDH at $35/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A refrigerator typically stays in service for somewhere around 12 years; over that span, the Gaggenau RVW467770's $34/yr adds up to roughly $408 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Gaggenau RVW467770 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 $34/yr, here is what the Gaggenau RVW467770 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Gaggenau RVW467770 costs about $340. That is roughly $150 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $490 over the same ten years.
How the Gaggenau RVW467770 compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $34/yr, it runs about $30 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $26 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $49/yr, the Gaggenau RVW467770 uses 30% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 14 cu ft, the Gaggenau RVW467770 is a mid-size refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, right in the middle of the capacity range, so capacity is roughly a wash compared with the rest of the class.
- Counter depth vs standard depth. Counter-depth models sit flush with cabinets but usually hold less interior volume than a standard-depth model of the same width, which can nudge the per-cubic-foot running cost either way.
- Interior volume. Cubic feet of interior volume is the first thing that scales a fridge's running cost up or down, before compressor quality even enters the picture.
- Compressor technology. Newer variable-speed (inverter) compressors modulate output instead of cycling fully on and off, which tends to use less energy for the same cooling job than an older fixed-speed compressor.
- Placement and ventilation. A fridge pushed tight against a wall or cabinet, or standing next to an oven or in direct sun, works harder to shed the heat its compressor produces, which can push real-world cost above the published figure.
Common questions
Is the Gaggenau RVW467770 cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $34 a year it ranks #41 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Gaggenau RVW467770 cost per month?
Roughly $2.86/mo, spreading the $34/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 185 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $34 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Gaggenau RVW467770 for its size?
100th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
