But even so, this > energy usage is very, very low, about 13.5 watts. You mean on average over the year if it were running continuously? White- good equipment like a fridge or washing machine in the EU must be specified in kWh/year based on a prescribed use pattern. Our model is specified for 167 kWh/year. It was not even the most efficient in the catalog, there were other considerations too. It is this model without the no-frost: https://home.liebherr.com/en/deu/products/household-appliances/floor- mounted-appliances-for-households/freestanding-fridge-freezers/details/ cnp-4813_89392.html I guess for most households here this is upper middle class fridge/cooler with vertically stacked cool/freeze section. About 60 cm wide which is a standard here for kitchen cabinets. You can buy side-by-side freeze/ coolers, but they are much less efficient and not many people have the space for it. Those who want a large freezer frequently have a box-type (lid on top) freezer in the cellar of garden shed. Our kitchen is 250x250cm exactly, and I guess that is about normal for standard houses. But you don't really need much storage because the supermarkets are usually close (walking or bicycling distance). I guess if you buy things once a week for the whole week you'd need more. But if we have a three- course meal for 9 persons, indeed space is tight. > When you open the > door and the light bulb comes on the energy use quadruples. 3.6 W according to my power meter. The light is a bright LED at the top front shining downwards, which illuminates the cooling section very well. But even on older fridges we had the bulb was only 5W or so. > I believe > he already said his unit has no defrost cycle, so that alone makes it > very different from 99.9% of the units sold in the US. The cooling section doesn't need one, because it's minimum temperature is + 1 centigrade, and like I wrote before, there is no air connection between freezing and cooling sections. We could get almost the same model with no-frost in the freezer section, but it used like 50% more energy, and that's not worth it for us. There's not much ice accumulating there anyway. > Even so, I find the numbers to be surprising. Energy efficiency is very important here. Most people would pay 23 eurocent/kWh . In test of consumer organizations energy use is a major point for any product. Cheaper models are usually worse on energy use per liter. I don't think there are double-door models that rely on airflow from freezing to cooling section. Mat Nieuwenhoven
