SKS SKSUD2402

The SKS SKSUD2402 never switches off, and its certified 275 kWh a year works out to about $52 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $4.32 a month for an average continuous draw of 31 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 12% of the median certified compact freezer (rank 78 of 128). The same unit costs $34 a year in North Dakota but $128 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
