Sun Frost is advertised as the most efficient refrigerator . The RF19
model consuming 770 watt per day at 70 degree or 281 KWH yearly.
I purchased a Sears Kenmore model 61982 18.8 cu ft . Gov rating on
consumption is 417 KWH yearly.
Well i covered it with 1 " r 7.2 foamboard and recessed it. my
last 10 day KWH use was 560 watt per day or 204 KWH yearly, measured
with a Kill-A -Watt.
Now im at 69 degree , single , But cook all food. I Beleive the KWH
Gov rating is to replicate a family and yearly temperature swings,
so when its warm it will consume more in its ratings. The Sun Frost has
a much higher 90 degree consumption quote of 1.09 KWH daily or 398
KWH yearly, And is this reflective of a familys use ? I dont think
so......
So who makes the most Efficient refrigerator?? Yes, Sears is better
than most people think.
I feel its underated and less than 1/2 the cost.
And Sears delivers free, { sometimes }

Nonono. Energy units are watt-HOURS per day.

I know you are thinking , well he insulated it. Yes , not the back yet
, and 2 more inches will go on for r 21.6
The point is anyone can do this, insulate it better and recess it .
making even better than my present KWH costs. And the initial cost of
the Sears is acceptable, as I feel the Sun Frost is not. Payback
period for a Sunfrost ? What payback !
