Seems it runs a lot more than it did in Maine, but then our garage in Maine was a heck of a lot bigger than our garage here in Florida and I guess we are more aware of how much the freezer runs. Of course, it is frost-free and I know that takes more juice.
Anyone have a freezer in the garage? Can you give me an idea of how much juice you think it is consuming? Buying meat at a discount doesn't make sense if the electrical bill is going to skyrocket.
We are getting a new french-door bottom freezer fridge after the holidays too thanks to "The Applicance Expert" who works an an upscale Orlando applicance store that will remain un-named because it would get ***'d out anyway. (They have a Rep who lives in TV and really knows his stuff and is great to work with---he makes house calls on his golf cart--shows his products on his laptop). So the old fridge will become our beer fridge/overflow fridge in the garage and we are really wondering aobut the extra electricity used.
Thanks...
