BLACK DECKER BR1810HIMW

Running around the clock, the BLACK DECKER BR1810HIMW uses a certified 450 kWh per year — about $83 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.88 a month, the equivalent of a steady 51-watt draw. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 24% more than the median top-freezer refrigerator (rank 629 of 713) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $59 a year in Nevada but $237 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
