Conserve SE215 [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Maynard, Energy Outfitters]

Hi Travis,
We've tested several of the Vestfrost/Conserv freezers and typically find
750-850 watt hour per day to be the norm.  Biggest variable is not how often its
opened, but rather how often and how much non-frozen foods are put in to
freeze.  Danby makes a 5.3 chest freezer that under similar usage uses 500-600
w/h per day.  The reall advantage is its cost $250-$300.
