Model
Finlux 130 TTR1143WH
Rank #337 means 336 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 23rd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 23% of those models.
What does the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH cost to run per year?
At $52 a year to run, the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH runs cheaper than most models in its class, ranking #337 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track. It uses 24% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $68/yr to run, a saving of roughly $16 a year. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 23 is below the class median, worth weighing alongside the raw dollar figure. At 4.3 cu ft, it is a small refrigerator for the class, which runs 1.2 to 31.7 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 Summit FF708BLSS at $51/yr runs a little cheaper and the Insignia NS-CF70TMSS6-C at $52/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A refrigerator typically stays in service for somewhere around 12 years; over that span, the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH's $52/yr adds up to roughly $624 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Finlux 130 TTR1143WH 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 $52/yr, here is what the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH costs about $520. That is roughly $160 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $680 over the same ten years.
How the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $52/yr, it runs about $12 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $44 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $68/yr, the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH uses 24% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 4.3 cu ft, the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH is a small refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture.
- Interior volume. Cubic feet of interior volume is the first thing that scales a fridge's running cost up or down, before compressor quality even enters the picture.
- Counter depth vs standard depth. Counter-depth models sit flush with cabinets but usually hold less interior volume than a standard-depth model of the same width, which can nudge the per-cubic-foot running cost either way.
- Compressor technology. Newer variable-speed (inverter) compressors modulate output instead of cycling fully on and off, which tends to use less energy for the same cooling job than an older fixed-speed compressor.
- Placement and ventilation. A fridge pushed tight against a wall or cabinet, or standing next to an oven or in direct sun, works harder to shed the heat its compressor produces, which can push real-world cost above the published figure.
Common questions
Is the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $52 a year it ranks #337 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH cost per month?
Roughly $4.3/mo, spreading the $52/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 278 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $52 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Finlux 130 TTR1143WH for its size?
23rd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
