KUCHT KR300TR

Running around the clock, the KUCHT KR300TR uses a certified 325 kWh per year — about $60 at the U.S. average rate, or $4.97 a month, the equivalent of a steady 37-watt draw. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 13% more than the median freezerless-and-single-door refrigerator (rank 233 of 269) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $43 a year in Nevada but $171 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
