“What is the real energy useage? I live off solar power, so being super efficient is extremely important. This ad shows RF260BEAESR with the EPA annual consumption 449 kwh. However, it is not listed on the CEE or EPA sites as most efficient (Tier 3). The yellow tag pictured is illegible to confirm what model number it refers to. In fact, this model number is not on the EPA list at all. Samsung's site EPA sticker says 620 kwh http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/rf/26/0b/rf260beaesraa/RF260_LABEL-ENERGY.pdf Can you confirm that this fridge really uses only 449 kwh under the standard test? Or is it mislabeled?”

I have this fridge, the energy rating on it was about 18-22 dollars annually to run the refrigerator. I do not remember the estimated annual kW hours it uses.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi ricardoRI, The Energy Guide showing 449 kWh/year consumption for the RF260BEAESR is based on measurements in place prior to September 2014. The new Energy Star measurement standards that have been in place since last September indicate this model uses 620 kWh/year of electricity. Please keep in mind that the Refrigerator itself has not changed, only the testing standards have changed. This updated information can be found on Energy Star's website. Thank you for your interest, Ms. Samsung
