Model
Vissani HVUF11SLF
Rank #166 means 165 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 47th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 47% of those models.
What does the Vissani HVUF11SLF cost to run per year?
At $66 a year to run, the Vissani HVUF11SLF runs cheaper than most models in its class, ranking #166 of 622 freezer models we track. It uses 11% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $74/yr to run, a saving of roughly $8 a year. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 47 is fairly typical for the class, neither a standout nor a laggard. At 11.1 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 Vissani HVUF11SL at $66/yr runs a little cheaper and the Vissani VSF11US2A16 at $66/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 Vissani HVUF11SLF's $66/yr adds up to roughly $924 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Vissani HVUF11SLF 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 $66/yr, here is what the Vissani HVUF11SLF adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Vissani HVUF11SLF costs about $660. That is roughly $80 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $740 over the same ten years.
How the Vissani HVUF11SLF compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $66/yr, it runs about $9 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $41 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $74/yr, the Vissani HVUF11SLF uses 11% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 11.1 cu ft, the Vissani HVUF11SLF is a mid-size freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost.
- 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 Vissani HVUF11SLF cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $66 a year it ranks #166 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Vissani HVUF11SLF cost per month?
Roughly $5.48/mo, spreading the $66/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 354 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $66 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Vissani HVUF11SLF for its size?
47th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
