FULGOR MILANO FM6CF36IFBI

Running around the clock, the FULGOR MILANO FM6CF36IFBI uses a certified 630 kWh per year — about $119 at the U.S. average rate, or $9.89 a month, the equivalent of a steady 72-watt draw.

The same unit costs $78 a year in North Dakota but $294 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
