Commercial Cool CCUC1640GW

Running around the clock, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GW uses a certified 429 kWh per year — about $79 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.56 a month, the equivalent of a steady 49-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 2% of the median certified upright freezer (rank 172 of 451). The same unit costs $56 a year in Nevada but $226 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
