because of living off the grid a low energy consumption refrigerator is a necessity.  this seems to be perfect as since installed we have not seen any significant change in our electric consumption and this was a BIG surprise as we thought surely we would see a noticeable change...having struggled with a small propane refrigerator for years, this is like heaven!!  i do need to be mindful of the handle on the freezer when standing upright after removing items from the lower section!
