Model
Premium Levella PRF446300HS
Rank #249 means 248 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 26th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 26% of those models.
What does the Premium Levella PRF446300HS cost to run per year?
At $47 a year to run, the Premium Levella PRF446300HS runs cheaper than most models in its class, ranking #249 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track. It uses 1% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $47/yr to run, a saving of roughly $0 a year. Its 26th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is a step behind the class median, though not among the weakest results. At 4.4 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 Marvel MLWC*24-SG01A at $47/yr runs a little cheaper and the Vissani VS26HSCPB at $47/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 Premium Levella PRF446300HS's $47/yr adds up to roughly $564 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Premium Levella PRF446300HS 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 $47/yr, here is what the Premium Levella PRF446300HS adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Premium Levella PRF446300HS costs about $470. That is roughly $0 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $470 over the same ten years.
How the Premium Levella PRF446300HS compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $47/yr, it runs about $17 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $39 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $47/yr, the Premium Levella PRF446300HS uses 1% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 4.4 cu ft, the Premium Levella PRF446300HS 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 Premium Levella PRF446300HS cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $47 a year it ranks #249 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Premium Levella PRF446300HS cost per month?
Roughly $3.9/mo, spreading the $47/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 252 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $47 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Premium Levella PRF446300HS for its size?
26th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
