BANGSON US-BSR-300

Running around the clock, the BANGSON US-BSR-300 uses a certified 326 kWh per year — about $61 at the U.S. average rate, or $5.12 a month, the equivalent of a steady 37-watt draw. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 33% more than the median compact refrigerator (rank 1338 of 1589) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $40 a year in North Dakota but $152 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
