Liebherr HC 1571G

The Liebherr HC 1571G never switches off, and its certified 530 kWh a year works out to about $97 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $8.10 a month for an average continuous draw of 61 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 6% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 530 of 1478). The same unit costs $69 a year in Nevada but $279 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
