A new one on the list is the KitchenAid KSRT25CW**0*. Taking a look at the CEE site: http://www.cee1.org/resid/seha/refrig/refrig-main.php3

There are lots of available models of bottom freezer variety of the same size, from GE and others, that are 20% more efficient than these. These aren’t even the most efficient for their class.

The 30% savings was reached 'cause the standard they were measured against was low 'cause large side-by-side units use the most energy. Just look at the Kwhr/yr. on these. If you really wanted to find the best four units out there you would take their Kwhr/yr usage divided by their cubic storage. The smaller ones will do better on this measure so you may want to have a min. size - like 17 cubit feet. cheers, These are not the most efficient models, but just the most efficient models for their class, which is the biggest and most inefficient models.
