GE GSE23GGP

Running around the clock, the GE GSE23GGP uses a certified 615 kWh per year — about $116 at the U.S. average rate, or $9.65 a month, the equivalent of a steady 70-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 5% of the median certified side-by-side refrigerator (rank 46 of 116). The same unit costs $76 a year in North Dakota but $287 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
