Fhiaba S240FZ3IU

Running around the clock, the Fhiaba S240FZ3IU uses a certified 506 kWh per year — about $95 at the U.S. average rate, or $7.94 a month, the equivalent of a steady 58-watt draw. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 16% more than the median upright freezer (rank 358 of 431) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $62 a year in North Dakota but $236 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
