LG LF24C8200

The LG LF24C8200 never switches off, and its certified 640 kWh a year works out to about $121 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $10.04 a month for an average continuous draw of 73 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 14% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 1085 of 1458). The same unit costs $79 a year in North Dakota but $298 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
