LG LHSXS2706
Running around the clock, the LG LHSXS2706 uses a certified 694 kWh per year — about $127 at the U.S. average rate, or $10.61 a month, the equivalent of a steady 79-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 8% of the median certified side-by-side refrigerator (rank 87 of 119). The same unit costs $91 a year in Nevada but $366 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
