BLAZE BLZ-SSRF-15

Running around the clock, the BLAZE BLZ-SSRF-15 uses a certified 257 kWh per year — about $48 at the U.S. average rate, or $4.03 a month, the equivalent of a steady 29-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 4% of the median certified compact refrigerator (rank 886 of 1589). The same unit costs $32 a year in North Dakota but $120 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
