Perlick HH24R*4C

The Perlick HH24R*4C never switches off, and its certified 259 kWh a year works out to about $48 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $3.96 a month for an average continuous draw of 30 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 5% of the median certified compact refrigerator (rank 979 of 1645). The same unit costs $34 a year in Nevada but $137 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
