Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-*****
Rank #334 means 333 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 27th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 27% of those models.
What does the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-*****'s $51/yr puts it at rank #334 of 1,000, on the cheaper side of the class. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $57/yr to run, a saving of roughly $6 a year. Adjusted for size, it is only more efficient than 27% of refrigerator models we track, so part of its running cost comes from its capacity rather than efficiency alone. Its listing marks it counter-depth, meaning it sits nearly flush with surrounding cabinets rather than protruding a few extra inches like a standard-depth model; that shallower body usually means less interior volume for the same footprint.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Avallon ADDR242PR at $51/yr runs a little cheaper and the Perlick HC24T*4C-**-***** at $51/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 Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-*****'s $51/yr adds up to roughly $612 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** 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 $51/yr, here is what the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** costs about $510. That is roughly $60 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $570 over the same ten years.
How the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $51/yr, it runs about $13 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $43 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $57/yr, the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 5.2 cu ft, the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet HK24R*4C-**-***** is a small refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, and smaller refrigerator models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
