Samsung RF24BB6600

Running around the clock, the Samsung RF24BB6600 uses a certified 630 kWh per year — about $119 at the U.S. average rate, or $9.89 a month, the equivalent of a steady 72-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 12% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 1047 of 1458). The same unit costs $78 a year in North Dakota but $294 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
