Model
Mora MFU210N6AWE
Rank #528 means 527 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 93rd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 93% of those models.
What does the Mora MFU210N6AWE cost to run per year?
The Mora MFU210N6AWE costs about $92 a year to run, sitting well up the cheapest-to-run leaderboard, rank #528 of 622. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $102/yr to run, a saving of roughly $10 a year. Efficiency-wise, once capacity is accounted for, it beats 93% of the class, a solidly strong result rather than a size-driven fluke. At 21.2 cu ft, it is a large 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 Mora MFU210N6AVE at $92/yr runs a little cheaper and the Crosley XUF21DM**** at $92/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 MFU210N6AWE's $92/yr adds up to roughly $1288 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Mora MFU210N6AWE 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 $92/yr, here is what the Mora MFU210N6AWE 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 MFU210N6AWE costs about $920. That is roughly $100 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $1020 over the same ten years.
How the Mora MFU210N6AWE compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $92/yr, it runs about $17 a year above the class median of $75, and it is about $67 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $102/yr, the Mora MFU210N6AWE uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 21.2 cu ft, the Mora MFU210N6AWE is a large freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, and larger freezer models generally cost more to run than smaller ones in the same class, simply because there is more to keep cold, spin, heat, or light.
- 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 MFU210N6AWE cheap to run?
Not especially. At $92 a year it ranks #528 of 622 freezer models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Mora MFU210N6AWE cost per month?
Roughly $7.64/mo, spreading the $92/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 494 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $92 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Mora MFU210N6AWE for its size?
93rd 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.
