Looking for an energy efficient fridge
#24
Well, I dunno, I'd stay away from conserve..sunfrost units. Reason? If it breaks who's gonna fix it? You'd gonna be waiting weeks/months for parts to come in from the big island.

Buy a Kenmore/Frigidaire/Whirlpool High Efficiency unit less then 1kW per day and get the 5 year warranty your set for a long time!

Granted the 1kW per day is about half what your going to save with a questionable sunfrost unit. But what are you giving up? 18CuFt is huge compared to 10CUFT! Not only that but for me an ice maker is a must and would be a deal breaker for me.

So, Reliability? Availability of PARTS and a qualified tech that know how to repair it? Bigger units and optional ice makers? For under HALF the cost... It's a no brainer! You can use the extra money to buy 2 more panels and 2 more batteries.
