Jenn-Air JB36NXFXRE

The Jenn-Air JB36NXFXRE never switches off, and its certified 599 kWh a year works out to about $110 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $9.15 a month for an average continuous draw of 68 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 6% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 951 of 1478). The same unit costs $79 a year in Nevada but $316 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
