LG LRSOS2706

Running around the clock, the LG LRSOS2706 uses a certified 694 kWh per year — about $131 at the U.S. average rate, or $10.89 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 85 of 116). The same unit costs $86 a year in North Dakota but $324 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
