Premium Levella PRN20

The Premium Levella PRN20 never switches off, and its certified 385 kWh a year works out to about $71 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $5.88 a month for an average continuous draw of 44 watts. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 6% of the median certified top-freezer refrigerator (rank 507 of 713). The same unit costs $50 a year in Nevada but $203 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
