Frigidaire FFUE1836AV

Running around the clock, the Frigidaire FFUE1836AV uses a certified 446 kWh per year — about $84 at the U.S. average rate, or $7.00 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 228 of 431). The same unit costs $55 a year in North Dakota but $208 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
