Answer:

An appliance could have a lower wattage than another but still cost more per year for electricity if it’s not well insulated and cycling on more often to keep the interior cold. For instance, a cheap mini fridge may have low wattage, but if it’s not well insulated and cycling on more often to keep the interior cold, your final costs to run it will be higher than a better-designed beverage cooler with excellent insulating properties.
