Dave,

I've always recommended Kenmore (Sears) which we have - they are reliable,
quiet, and a good price point typically (especially if you get it on sale
which them seem to have every other week).  If you look for the right
model, you should be able to get one that comes close to that usage,
especially in the smaller models.  Sears' website lists the kWh yearly
usage last time I looked.
