 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 }

 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 !
