$20 QUESTION -- Category: Around the House

What's the best way to buy the most energy efficient refrigerator?

  1. Look for the model names like "EnergySaver" and "SuperStingy".

  2. Check the Energy Guide label that gives the operating cost per year.

  3. Purchase whatever my Uncle Harry's appliance store has on sale this week.

Sorry. The correct answer is 2. Check the Energy Guide. (Descriptive names like those in answer #1 are simply marketing tools. There is no guarantee that appliances with those names will be the most energy-efficient).
