Honeywell H34WCB

The Honeywell H34WCB never switches off, and its certified 143 kWh a year works out to about $26 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $2.19 a month for an average continuous draw of 16 watts. Only a handful of certified top-freezer refrigerators do better: it ranks 1 of 713 and undercuts the median by 61%. The same unit costs $19 a year in Nevada but $75 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
