SunStar DC Chest Freezer: Energy Consumption

In a one week test in mid-winter, freezer consumed 330 watt-hours/day. Freezer is at approx. 0F (C) and ambient temperature 55F (13C). The old upright freezer used 1450 watt-hours/day in similar conditions or 4.4 times as much energy!

Freezer is made in the USA by:
Solar Freeze, Llc

It seems that the compressor is made by Secop (formerly Danfoss) and is packaged by Keota for use in the Solar Freeze Sunstar freezers.

It is as "no frills" as you can get, manual defrost, no digital display, no WiFi, just a plain old thermostat dial and a power and fault LED indicator.

Ordered from:

They seemed to have the best price including shipping. They are located in Canada, so you may get hit with a currency conversion fee when ordering, but there was no sales tax added.

This project has taken over a year to complete, so videos have been shot at various times over that period.
