Mora RQ230P7S*EM

The Mora RQ230P7S*EM never switches off, and its certified 603 kWh a year works out to about $111 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $9.22 a month for an average continuous draw of 69 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 7% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 967 of 1478). The same unit costs $79 a year in Nevada but $318 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
