Zline RBCFV-30

The Zline RBCFV-30 never switches off, and its certified 570 kWh a year works out to about $107 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $8.94 a month for an average continuous draw of 65 watts. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 30% more than the median upright freezer (rank 409 of 431) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $70 a year in North Dakota but $266 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
