Model
Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A
Rank #150 means 149 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 19th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 19% of those models.
What does the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A cost to run per year?
The Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A costs about $41 a year to run and sits near the top of the cheapest-to-run leaderboard, rank #150 of 1,000. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $45/yr to run, a saving of roughly $4 a year. Its 19th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is well below the class median, worth weighing against the raw cost figure above. 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 Marvel MLRE*24-SS11A at $41/yr runs a little cheaper and the Amana AMAR35S1E at $41/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 Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A's $41/yr adds up to roughly $492 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A 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 $41/yr, here is what the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A costs about $410. That is roughly $40 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $450 over the same ten years.
How the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $41/yr, it runs about $23 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $33 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $45/yr, the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 3.2 cu ft, the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A 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.
Common questions
Is the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $41 a year it ranks #150 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A cost per month?
Roughly $3.39/mo, spreading the $41/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 219 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $41 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Professional Series PS-RF739-I6A for its size?
19th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
