Avanti AVRPD75

The Avanti AVRPD75 never switches off, and its certified 250 kWh a year works out to about $46 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $3.82 a month for an average continuous draw of 29 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 2% of the median certified compact refrigerator (rank 857 of 1645). The same unit costs $33 a year in Nevada but $132 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
