Zline RBCFV-30

The Zline RBCFV-30 never switches off, and its certified 570 kWh a year works out to about $105 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $8.71 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 429 of 451) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $75 a year in Nevada but $301 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
