Danby DUF167A5WDD

Running around the clock, the Danby DUF167A5WDD uses a certified 432 kWh per year — about $79 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.60 a month, the equivalent of a steady 49-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 1% of the median certified upright freezer (rank 175 of 451). The same unit costs $57 a year in Nevada but $228 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
