I got my regular AC refrigerator from Home Depot for about $250. It's rated at 1.5 amps and is the lowest draw full size refrigerator/freezer I could find in Hilo. Not sure about all the math regarding Kwh etc, but I do know that it works great with my present setup and is always powered on. A friend has a smaller fridge/freezer from Home Depot, and I think that one is rated at 1.4 amps, but it's a bit small for my needs.
I got my small chest freezer from Wal Mart, also about $250, and I only run the freezer during the day in order to conserve battery power, but I could probably leave it powered on all the time. So far it's been working well for me, and they're so much better than any of the propane refrigerators I've had in the past.
