Jenn Air JURF*242H

Running around the clock, the Jenn Air JURF*242H uses a certified 233 kWh per year — about $44 at the U.S. average rate, or $3.66 a month, the equivalent of a steady 27-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 5% of the median certified compact refrigerator (rank 705 of 1589). The same unit costs $29 a year in North Dakota but $109 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
