Elica ER36FRB19IPS

The Elica ER36FRB19IPS never switches off, and its certified 584 kWh a year works out to about $110 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $9.16 a month for an average continuous draw of 67 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 4% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 815 of 1458). The same unit costs $72 a year in North Dakota but $272 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
