Signature Kitchen Suite SKSFD3604
Running around the clock, the Signature Kitchen Suite SKSFD3604 uses a certified 614 kWh per year — about $113 at the U.S. average rate, or $9.38 a month, the equivalent of a steady 70-watt draw. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 9% of the median certified bottom-freezer refrigerator (rank 997 of 1478). The same unit costs $80 a year in Nevada but $324 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
