Frigidaire FFUE1836AV

Running around the clock, the Frigidaire FFUE1836AV uses a certified 446 kWh per year — about $82 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.82 a month, the equivalent of a steady 51-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 2% of the median certified upright freezer (rank 238 of 451). The same unit costs $58 a year in Nevada but $235 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
