Frigidaire FFUE1326AV

Running around the clock, the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV uses a certified 380 kWh per year — about $70 at the U.S. average rate, or $5.81 a month, the equivalent of a steady 43-watt draw. That puts it in the most efficient tenth of every certified upright freezer — 13% less electricity than the median, ranked 45 of 451. The same unit costs $50 a year in Nevada but $200 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
