ZGA ZRT25ASLOPR

Running around the clock, the ZGA ZRT25ASLOPR uses a certified 425 kWh per year — about $80 at the U.S. average rate, or $6.67 a month, the equivalent of a steady 49-watt draw. Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 17% more electricity than the median top-freezer refrigerator, ranked 560 of 674. The same unit costs $52 a year in North Dakota but $198 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
