Jenn-Air JBRF*36IGX

Running around the clock, the Jenn-Air JBRF*36IGX uses a certified 360 kWh per year — about $66 at the U.S. average rate, or $5.50 a month, the equivalent of a steady 41-watt draw. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 25% more than the median freezerless-and-single-door refrigerator (rank 262 of 269) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $47 a year in Nevada but $190 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
