KOOLATRON KTUF59-W-H

The KOOLATRON KTUF59-W-H never switches off, and its certified 281 kWh a year works out to about $53 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $4.41 a month for an average continuous draw of 32 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 15% of the median certified compact freezer (rank 82 of 128). The same unit costs $35 a year in North Dakota but $131 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
