Model
Kenmore 111. 22062910
Rank #101 means 100 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 24th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 24% of those models.
What does the Kenmore 111. 22062910 cost to run per year?
Few freezer models we track cost less to run than the Kenmore 111. 22062910: about $48 a year, rank #101 of 622. It uses 19% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $59/yr to run, a saving of roughly $11 a year. Normalized for capacity, it beats only 24% of freezer models we track, a below-average efficiency result. At 5.9 cu ft, it is a small 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 Kenmore 111. 2206**** at $48/yr runs a little cheaper and the Conserv FR430B at $48/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 Kenmore 111. 22062910's $48/yr adds up to roughly $672 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Kenmore 111. 22062910 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 $48/yr, here is what the Kenmore 111. 22062910 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Kenmore 111. 22062910 costs about $480. That is roughly $110 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $590 over the same ten years.
How the Kenmore 111. 22062910 compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $48/yr, it runs about $27 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $23 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $59/yr, the Kenmore 111. 22062910 uses 19% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 5.9 cu ft, the Kenmore 111. 22062910 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. 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 Kenmore 111. 22062910 cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $48 a year it ranks #101 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Kenmore 111. 22062910 cost per month?
Roughly $3.96/mo, spreading the $48/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 256 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $48 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Kenmore 111. 22062910 for its size?
24th 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.
