How to read this page
- A mini fridge is more general-purpose, but it is not always the lowest-cost small refrigeration option.
- A wine cooler can be optimized for a narrower use case, yet its year-round cost still matters because it runs all day.
- Look at the year view here, not only the day view, because both appliances are effectively always-on loads.
