Jenn-Air JB36NXFXRE

The Jenn-Air JB36NXFXRE never switches off, and its certified 599 kWh a year works out to about $113 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $9.40 a month for an average continuous draw of 68 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 7% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 946 of 1458). The same unit costs $74 a year in North Dakota but $279 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
