Signature Kitchen Suite SKSCF1801

The Signature Kitchen Suite SKSCF1801 never switches off, and its certified 480 kWh a year works out to about $90 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $7.53 a month for an average continuous draw of 55 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 10% of the median certified upright freezer (rank 277 of 431).
