GE FUF14DZR

Running around the clock, the GE FUF14DZR uses a certified 400 kWh per year — about $73 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.11 a month, the equivalent of a steady 46-watt draw. That's 9% less than the median certified upright freezer, placing it comfortably in the efficient third of the field (141 of 451). The same unit costs $52 a year in Nevada but $211 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
