It would be nice if the rebates were based off of energy saved, but when you add things like defrost, ice makers, side by side doors and all those other frills, you can build a fridge that uses 2 to 3 times what my old fridge used that are still energy star rated!

What size is it? I'm surprised it was that low usage. How did you observe the kWh usage and over how long?
