Model
Xo XOU24BCGSL
Rank #339 means 338 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 32nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 32% of those models.
What does the Xo XOU24BCGSL cost to run per year?
At about $52 a year, the Xo XOU24BCGSL undercuts most refrigerator models we track on running cost, rank #339 of 1,000. 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. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 32 suggests its capacity is doing more work than its efficiency to keep the headline cost down. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 5.7 cu ft (the class spans 1.2 to 31.7), size is the clearest lever we can point to for this model's running cost.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Xo XOU24BCGBSL at $52/yr runs a little cheaper and the Xo XOU24BCSFR at $52/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 Xo XOU24BCGSL's $52/yr adds up to roughly $624 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Xo XOU24BCGSL 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 Xo XOU24BCGSL adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Xo XOU24BCGSL 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 Xo XOU24BCGSL compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $52/yr, it runs about $12 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $44 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $58/yr, the Xo XOU24BCGSL uses 11% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 5.7 cu ft, the Xo XOU24BCGSL 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, 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. More cubic feet of cold air to maintain generally means a bigger compressor and a higher running-cost figure, even among efficient models.
- Counter depth vs standard depth. Standard-depth models generally offer more interior volume per unit of width than counter-depth models, a tradeoff between built-in looks and cubic feet.
- Compressor technology. How a compressor cycles, full on/off versus a variable-speed inverter design, is one of the biggest hidden differences behind two fridges with similar cubic feet but different running costs.
- Placement and ventilation. Ventilation clearance around the back and top matters more than most owners expect; a fridge starved of airflow runs its compressor longer to hold the same temperature.
Common questions
Is the Xo XOU24BCGSL cheap to run?
Yes. Its $52/yr running cost puts it at rank #339 of 1,000, below what most refrigerator models we track cost to run.
How much does the Xo XOU24BCGSL 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 Xo XOU24BCGSL for its size?
32nd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
