Model
Beko BUFR2715WH
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 Beko BUFR2715WH cost to run per year?
At about $57 a year, the Beko BUFR2715WH undercuts most freezer models we track on running cost, rank #142 of 622. 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. Size-adjusted, this model beats 99% of freezer models we track on efficiency, a standout even among the class's efficient models. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 14.3 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 Beko BUFR2715MG at $57/yr runs a little cheaper and the Blomberg BRUF2814WH 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 Beko BUFR2715WH's $57/yr adds up to roughly $798 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Beko BUFR2715WH 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 Beko BUFR2715WH 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 BUFR2715WH 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 Beko BUFR2715WH 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 Beko BUFR2715WH uses 31% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 14.3 cu ft, the Beko BUFR2715WH 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. 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 Beko BUFR2715WH cheap to run?
Yes. Its $57/yr running cost puts it at rank #142 of 622, below what most freezer models we track cost to run.
How much does the Beko BUFR2715WH cost per month?
About $4.72 a month, which is the $57 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: 305 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $57 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Beko BUFR2715WH for its size?
99th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
