Conserve SE215 [RE-wrenches]

[Ezra Auerbach, Trace Engineering]

I have a Conserve Referigerator/Freezer which also uses considerably more
current than the unit is rated for (but then so did my Sunfrost when I measured
it's energy usage).There are so many variables to getting the rated performance
that I hazard that factory specs will almost always be unattainable.

Clearly a couple of factors which will cause the unit to use more power would
be:
Is the freezer full?  How often is it opened.

Oh, I also want to say that I am generally very pleased with my Conserve, extra
energy consumption and all.
