KUCHT KR180TF

Running around the clock, the KUCHT KR180TF uses a certified 452 kWh per year — about $83 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.91 a month, the equivalent of a steady 52-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 3% of the median certified upright freezer (rank 257 of 451). The same unit costs $59 a year in Nevada but $238 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
