Model
Mora MFU140N6AWE
Rank #215 means 214 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 56th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 56% of those models.
What does the Mora MFU140N6AWE cost to run per year?
At $73 a year to run, the Mora MFU140N6AWE runs cheaper than most models in its class, ranking #215 of 622 freezer models we track. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $81/yr to run, a saving of roughly $8 a year. Its 56th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is unremarkable, close to what a typical model in the class scores. At 13.6 cu ft, it is a mid-size 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 Insignia NS-UZ14****** at $73/yr runs a little cheaper and the Farberware FW-UFR391US-IN-I6A at $73/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 Mora MFU140N6AWE's $73/yr adds up to roughly $1022 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Mora MFU140N6AWE 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 $73/yr, here is what the Mora MFU140N6AWE adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Mora MFU140N6AWE costs about $730. That is roughly $80 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $810 over the same ten years.
How the Mora MFU140N6AWE compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $73/yr, it runs about $2 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $48 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $81/yr, the Mora MFU140N6AWE uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 13.6 cu ft, the Mora MFU140N6AWE 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. 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 Mora MFU140N6AWE cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $73 a year it ranks #215 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Mora MFU140N6AWE cost per month?
Roughly $6.05/mo, spreading the $73/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 391 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $73 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Mora MFU140N6AWE for its size?
56th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
