XO XOU2470WGS

The XO XOU2470WGS never switches off, and its certified 238 kWh a year works out to about $45 on a U.S.-average electric bill — roughly $3.73 a month for an average continuous draw of 27 watts. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 34% more than the median cooler refrigerator (rank 43 of 48) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $29 a year in North Dakota but $111 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
