Miele F 2912 Vi

Running around the clock, the Miele F 2912 Vi uses a certified 528 kWh per year — about $99 at the U.S. average rate, or $8.29 a month, the equivalent of a steady 60-watt draw. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 21% more than the median upright freezer (rank 384 of 431) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $65 a year in North Dakota but $246 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
