Galanz GLR10T**EFR

Running around the clock, the Galanz GLR10T**EFR uses a certified 292 kWh per year — about $55 at the U.S. average rate, or $4.58 a month, the equivalent of a steady 33-watt draw. Only a handful of certified top-freezer refrigerators do better: it ranks 12 of 674 and undercuts the median by 20%. The same unit costs $36 a year in North Dakota but $136 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
