Bertazzoni REF31BMFIXNV

Running around the clock, the Bertazzoni REF31BMFIXNV uses a certified 542 kWh per year — about $102 at the U.S. average rate, or $8.50 a month, the equivalent of a steady 62-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 4% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 623 of 1458). The same unit costs $67 a year in North Dakota but $253 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
