Galanz GLR35RDER
The Galanz GLR35RDER never switches off, and its certified 220 kWh a year works out to about $40 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $3.36 a month for an average continuous draw of 25 watts. That's 11% less than the median certified compact refrigerator, placing it comfortably in the efficient third of the field (546 of 1645). The same unit costs $29 a year in Nevada but $116 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
